Meeting Summary

·  Recap and comments – September Chicago meeting:

o  From Dianne Reeves:

§  The meeting with the large group (a number of the work groups) was a good idea

§  The meeting with Patient Care concerning registry of data elements was productive. No actions are needed for this meeting.

§  Lots of discussion about FHIR –

·  FHIR making assumption that they already have everything to meet the needs of all groups.

o  From Mitra Rocca:

§  Did not see value of joint meeting with RCRIM the next Working Group meeting. Updates can be provided at the “UBER” meeting. Dianne mentioned to Ed (RCRIM) that no meeting is needed.

o  From Anita Walden:

§  Likes to hear what others are doing

§  Maybe we should consider to do something with FHIR

·  Would like to know where definitions for resources are coming from

·  Encourage FHIR to use standard definitions.

·  Happy to meet Lori Simon to better understand mental health project she is working on. We have walked Lori Simon through the EA modeling tool

§  Good meeting overall but concerned we are not seeing the attendance we had in the past. Possible reason is that our work is based on funded projects for external groups.

·  One suggestion in past was to disband and join another group such as Patient Care

·  Maybe we could modified our role and focus on Outreach to other groups and engage clinicians. Go to them instead of hoping they come to us.

o  Any information about the new group (US Realm Taskforce) who is reviewing upcoming projects. The goal is to make sure right group is working on right project.

·  Health of CIC and Gold Star Recognition

o  Congratulations to CIC

·  Updates:

o  ACTION: Mitra - check with Jay re: notice to intent to ballot –is it ready and can we get questions answered to we want to ballot in January.

o  Usability: Project is moving forward. C. Johnson has many students working on the project. Student did literature review and captured usability issues.

§  John and Mitra met to review the issues.

§  Constance reviewed student’s work and felt not done completely so she is now reviewing

§  Constance sent Mitra spreadsheet to review

§  Consideration is to write White Paper

o  Bipolar Project

§  Change scope of work statement and it on the task force agenda and be able to start work in HL7

§  FDA/DUKE Oversight call – Mitra you would be welcome to join once it is approved and become an HL7 call.

§  ACTION-Claire: Call will add Mitra to Oversight meeting call list.

o  TB:

§  Balloted in September. VA voted negatively but did not send comments. CIC will have to vote on their comments that were submitted late. They were notified and they sent comments after ballot closed. Cannot vote today because no quorum. Anita will contact with VA and see if she can work with them.

o  New Exercise Project: Davera Gabariel

§  Group may have some funding and would like to pursue. Funding would have to go into a grant and would we help. Anita advised that group would be happy to help.

·  ACTION – Anita: send the DAM guide, components, ballot process, our experience, what resources are used etc. Co-chairs are agreeable for them to join.

§  We could invite them to join CIC monthly calls

o  Help Desk Escalation

§  We need to come up with point of contact for items that come from the Help Desk vs items coming to all co-chairs.

·  ACTION – Mitra: Will be Point of Contact.

§  Help desk will send to all co-chairs and Mitra.

o  FHIR Resource:

§  Should we do a FHIR Resource? Is it worth doing to learn more about it?

·  Best way to learn would be to do one. That way we can contribute to the discussion and ballots. Maybe get involved with BRIDG and work with them.

o  We can talk with BRIDG as to how we can collaborate with them

§  ACTION-Dianne: Draft inquire to co-chairs (Ed and Maryanne) to develop FHIR resource (Diane)

§  ACTION- Anita: Approach Abdul-Malik to see how he can help to do this work Create a resource from Schizophrenia.
