History
This committee began as a SIG named Personnel Management in 1999 to expand on a domain that had been documented in V2 Chapter 8 (Master Files) maintained by the Patient Administration TC. The group developed, as a SIG, a set of new segments and messages and in 2000, this development resulted in the publication of Chapter 15 that first appeared in V2.4. In the spring of 2001 Personnel Management became a Technical Committee. As a TC it has published a number of committee-level ballots for V3 as well as updates to Chapter 15 in V2.5.
Mission
This group supports the HL7 mission to create and promote its standards by providing messages to communicate human resources and regulatory information about individuals, animals, organizations and devices.information about health professionals, i.e. health-care providers and support staff.
Charter
Scope
The Personnel Management Domain spans a variety of human resources and regulatory information functions associated with the organizations, individuals, devices, and animals involved in the delivery and support of healthcare services. The domain content includes roles, relationships, credentials, certificates, licenses, capacities, capabilities, competencies, qualifications, privileges, responsibilities, and assignments issued to or managed by the involved organizations, individuals, and animals.
The PM domain assumes the responsibility for communicating specific data associated with the domain content including identity profile, demographic details, participating parties, activation and termination dates, status and associated supporting documentation.
The scope of the business processes supported by the PM domain's messages span the 'HR (human resources)', 'clinical/administrative regulatory' and ‘registry’ arenas. These arenas differ fundamentally in the amount of detail exposed and processed relative to a given relationship. As a consequence, the PM domain's messages support both data interchange communicating the existence of a particular domain content item for a human resource or registry item as well as information capturing the details of granting, suspending, verifying, and otherwise managing a regulatory item.
Work Products and Contributions to HL7 Processes:
In order to provide services in the healthcare domain dealing with patient care and adminis-trative procedures, information about the health professionalsparties/entities providing health care is needed.
This information includes an assigned entity’s identity, credentials, responsibilities, privileges and qualifications.the professional's identity, his/her rights and obligations, the special domain and qualifications, and the relationships to patients. The information exchanged is needed for the professional's entity’s authentication, authorization, access control and accountability for data and processes.
The Personnel Management Technical Committee SIG (PM TC) models procedures and transactions that define messages from applications managing information about assigned parties/entities to applications that subscribes to receive this information. The Personnel Management TC will work with other HL7 TCs to harmonize requirements for authentication, authorization, access control, and accountability. to provide messages that are transferred between the communicating applications to realize administrative caring and security services.
The PM TC does not deal with the underlying methods and services on the application side.
Formal Relationships with Other HL7 Groups
The committee will coordinate work on credentials, responsibilities, privileges and qualifications with the Patient Administration TC and the Security and Accountability SIG.
The committee will coordinate work on registries with Control/Query.PAFM TC sponsors this TC.
