 * Review updates from New/Prospective RI/DP Workgroup committed members**
 * Mike Long, LabLynx, introduced pilot project interfacing LIMS with an EMR.
 * Ron Ronauro, College of American Pathologists. Lab interoperability is an important subject to CAP and other labs. Ron would take the role of project leader. They are interested in what other roles would need to be filled to successfully complete a pilot.
 * Discuss Community Members interested in sponsoring pilots Wiki Page
 * Discuss organizations detail on how the pilot will exercise reference information


 * Discuss Outcome of Vocabulary WG Meeting**

As members and volunteers, we need to the role of SME for test data. We need test data for testing through NIST tool and also pilots require test data for their pilots. We will be reaching out specifically regarding test data since it is critical to the success of LRI. It is not necessary to be an expert in UCUM, LOINC, and SNOMED, although that would be useful.Outreach will include a wiki page and collaboration with some of the SMEs from the Vocabulary workgroup.

Jitin reinforced that the goal of LRI is to prove that Lab Results guide works for transferring data -- it works, can be easily, is unambiguous. Vocabulary issues can be part of a pilot, but the pilot should show that the Lab Results guide works. Need a lab, and EHR, and a provider.

Ron affirmed that many lab professionals are unaware of the importance of interoperability. CAP has access to resources to bring teams or people together.

Jitin says we want to systematize processes for people to share feedback. The process will be bespoke. One case might be Quest with an EMR it works with. Another might be a community. It will depend on the ecosystem of a given region. The question is where can prospective pilot organizations deploy most efficiently and quickly.


 * A pilot requires these actors:**
 * Lab
 * EHR vendor
 * Implementation Guide
 * Provider for whom EHR vendor is setting up the interface (1 or more)
 * Some agreement between Lab and EHR vendor re: how lab results will be transported; something that demonstrates that information can be shared and delivered accurately.

1. Wiki page 2. Targeted outreach to community
 * A pilot requires** **two types of outreach:**

Jitin offered himself to help with any of the conversations with potential pilot participants. The pilots are critical. The standards committee and ONC will not require anyone to use a tool that has not been proven to work.

Integrators can be involved as well.

Rob Allen resumed last week's review of the LRI Pilots Guide, picking up at section IV. Q: Is it necessary to have both and EHR and an EMR to declare success in a pilot? A: It could be either/or.
 * Review LRI Pilots Guide**

//**Schedule.**// At least two dates from the IG should be added to the schedule. Feedback must be provided in time to make the necessary changes prior to submitting for ballot. 1. IG must be submitted for ballot by 9/1/11 2. IG must be submitted for second ballot 1/1/12

These dates do not constrain pilots to be completed by February. They only require that feedback be provided.

Pilots will be based on the preliminary implementation guide. Their feedback will either prove the IG or drive change in the final version.

We expect pilots to become implementations and that implementations will expand.

Workgroup leadership to talk about schedule. Workgroup support team to create a wiki page and charter for a test data workgroup.
