Review Agenda  
 Major Focus Areas

 Areas of major focus:

  • Incorporation and organization
  • Get technical content on website or other accessible location
    • FHIR profiles that can be viewed and browsed
    • Sample programs that show how the FHIR profiles can be used 
  • Plans for the next meeting

May also be some tactical areas that need to be addressed

Need to spend a couple of hours planning the agenda for the next meeting.  Determine on this call the purpose and goals of the next meeting.

 
Incorporation Status Still needs to be doneOscar will send out notice to the email list 
 Board of Directors

Setting up a bank account. 

Looking at E&O insurance.  Getting 4 quotes. Will review coverage and if it is sufficient.

Next Board meeting needs to be scheduled. 

Need a volunteer CFO.  A draft P&L has been developed.

Need to determine how dues will be structured.  HL7 model is not quite what HSPC has in mind.  HSPC is looking a companies that will be at different levels.HL7 is a rough ball park of dues levels.  The dues structure should reflect the size of the company.  Dues will need to be set quickly to enable financial projections. 

Craig and Oscar will be developing the operational plan. 

Oscar will provide his new email address.

Jackson Health outreach – no one has had any response from Jackson Health.  Wayne and Oscar will reach out to them by phone.  Their signature is included in corporate documents. 

 

Wayne will reach out to Mike Garcia

By Laws

Retention of Documents

Whistleblower Policy

Bank Account

Financial Protection re. tax exemption

Board Insurance

Establish Membership Dues

Distribute Minutes

 VA

Movement at the OI&T level.  Paul Tibbits and Jonathan Nebeker to have a project with LSU. 

Transfer of funds is awaiting incorporation.  VA will roll the money over to FY15.  Will provide $50,000 in funding.  This will accelerate the FHIR profiles.

VA is looking for platform as a service for clinical integration –   Six areas New  Orleans Salt Lake, Seattle, Indianapolis.  This will lower the cost of entry.

Regenstrief– Bob Greenes will reach out to Regenstrief.  May have to define dues structure to have further conversations with Regenstrief. 

Geisinger, Vanderbilt, Kaiser, and Partners – Need to follow-up.  John Mattison at Kaiser would be a good contact.  Stan will reach out to John Mattison and Jamie Ferguson. 

Dues –

  • Founding member $200,000 eligible for a Board seat, vote for Board members
  • Associate member $15,000 per year.  May want to have a sliding scale based on organization size.
  • Participating   member $500 per year – this is for individuals
  • In-Kind contributions will count toward dues
  • May want to allow some board seats to representation that is not founding members

Project Plan

 

 Demo of JIRA
Sandbox

Bob Greenes and Rick have discussed a first tier sand box.  Will have a follow-up call.

Would be good to integrate implementations in one place, e.g., one Amazon instance.  Will integrate FHIR services and OAUTH.  Use this as a starting platform.

Will have an innovation space to test new ideas. 

As HSPC builds out CIMI/CEM profiles need to determine if these will be included in the sandbox.  Could the CIMI profiles be assembled from the basic FHIRs retrievals.  Need to understand if this aligns with vendor ability to support. 

Oscar and Rick are discussing whether existing web services could be utilized with a wrapper. 

May take some time for the vendor community to implement the FHIR profiles and REST services.

 Status Update
HSPC Meeting Plans

 Objectives of next meeting:

  • Hold technical sessions
    • Modeling and terminology
    • Service framework, how to make sample code available, how to document technical decisions
    • Development environments/sandbox – functions, stakeholders
  • Have two days so that people can participate in both organizational and technical
  • Would be ideal to be ready to finalize voting and governance and operational processes
  • Further discussion of data virtualization and orchestration approaches.  Orchestration is in the scope of HSPC.  Would not be a requirement of every member to participate in the orchestrated framework.
  • On Board new attendees with a pre-session
  • HIMSS track for planning.  Should have a plan of what will be done at HIMSS

 Target decision by October 1

Set up a two hour call to plan meeting – Craig and Oscar
