 * ACTION ITEM: The support team will keep the group up-to-date with any additional information about the F2F.
 * Everyone should register for the F2F, even if they do not plan to attend.
 * The group should inform Sweta or Presha if they are not receiving update emails from esMD or the S&I framework.

Data Model Development

 * General explanation of the addition of Objects to the data model
 * Added a ‘PPA Data Model Objects’ tab to the data model.
 * Provider organization object, Individual provider object, Agent object and Security information object were added to the data model.
 * Question: Does it matter that the object groupings we have here are different to the objects in PD?
 * The suggestion is to take the PD objects as they stand and add them to the esMD data model. Change the cardinality of elements depending upon our need.
 * ACTION ITEM: Support team will integrate the full Individual Provider and Provider Organization objects from PD into the esMD data model.
 * We do not have a field to represent the fact that an organization is participating in and supports the esMD program.
 * The plan is to create a separate ESI for it that identifies support for that type of transaction.
 * Provider Organization Object can occur 0 or 1 time.
 * Individual Provider Object can occur 0 or 1 time.
 * Agent Object can occur 0 or 1 time.
 * Added ‘Owner’ element to the ‘Security Information’ object.
 * No multiple values
 * Definition: From List
 * Datatype: String
 * Cardinality: 1
 * Standard Format/Vocab: Organization, Individual, Agent
 * Question: In PD we included Digital Certificate as an element so that we didn’t need the ‘Owner’ element. Will we replicate this in esMD?
 * ACTION ITEM: Support Team will look at this offline and bring it back to the group.
 * Added note that “Either cardinality of NPI or Alternate ID must be 1, but both may not be 1.”
 * This is an esMD requirement.
 * ACTION ITEM: Leads and support staff will figure out how best to represent this information offline
 * During our next harmonization meeting, objects will be displayed by Bob for review by the group.
