Meeting Purpose & Objectives
Tuesday status meeting for the Transition of Care Reference Implementation and Pilot Workgroup.

Introduction
Mark Bamberg previewed the meeting agenda, and the biweekly meeting schedule.

Questions on the Architecture
Mark Bamberg pointed out that the ToC Architecture WG has created and posted a series of documents that pertain to the ToC RI group task: http://wiki.siframework.org/ToC+Architecture+%26+Implementation+RQ+WG. The CIM is currently being drafted by the ToC CIM WG, and appears to be now solidifying: most of the artifacts are approaching consensus. Steven Cason added that these artifacts have been helpful in drafting the ToC RI Conceptual Design and Detailed Design documents.

Code Contribution Process
Mark Bamberg detailed the proposed process and toolset: the Open Health Tools framework([]), which includes a code repository, as well as a community of open source health applications available for download. OHT tools include source code control, defect tracking, integrated build servers, collaboration forums etc. Steven Cason reviewed the proposed RI Development Process, stressing the importance of code peer review, supported by a decentralized version control system like Git or Mercurial. He also posited the principle of Design before Coding (e.g., UML), and that design documents should also be subject to peer review and stored in the version control system.

Communication Channels and Collaboration
Mark Bamberg declared that he felt that a developer Instant Messaging capability was invaluable: he proposed the Campfire tool, which can provide IM even when there are firewall issues. In addition, he felt that regular emails to the developer group is very useful, and that regular review by the group of the timeline was crucial for success.

Design Document
Steven Cason next presented his Conceptual Design document ( http://wiki.siframework.org/ToC+RI+Detailed+Component+Design ). which was based on the artifacts from the ToC Arch WG. He presented simplified ToC and LRI Use Case diagrams, and summarized the origin and role of the Data Integration Reference Library, which he pointed out can contain both documents (e.g., XML Schemas) and Java classes.

Timeline
Mark Bamberg reviewed the timeline, and previewed upcoming time points: (1) confirmation of the Detailed Design by 6/14/11 and (2) choice of tools and (3) selection of coding tasks.

Q & A, Comments and Next Steps
Mark Bamberg proposed moving ahead using Java, unless and until .Net developers volunteered. Participants commented that today's presentation and proposed plan was very clear and made sense.

Topics for Next Meeting

 * Review the Development Documents (and the feedback on the Discussion tabs).

Homework

 * Review the two documents (and diagrams) presented today (see above), and enter comments on the Discussion Tab.
 * Help locate more Developer and SME volunteers to join the Workgroup.
 * Kick-off the Open Health Tools project home for RI/DP.

Next Meeting

 * Date: Thursday, 6/9/2011**
 * Time: 3:00 p.m. EDT**
 * Dial in: 1-408-600-3600 Access code: TBD **
