Marc – Would be glad to discuss with Ajay.  Has done work internally on this. 

Ajay – Working on how this will impact interoperability. 

Paul – Agree this should address use cases and success stories.  This will demonstrate ROI.  Should include this in the roadmap.

Ajay – Need to explain why change should be adopted and why to adopt this now.  Starting with the challenge.  Would like to articulate themes and opportunities.  Then discuss ROI and proof points.  This will let the reader connect to the value proposition.

Paul – HSPC can show how to get to the value.

Ajay –  Agree that we can show the way.  Has a shell of all of the ideas.  Need to fill in the details. 

 

 

 Ajay Asthana

Conduct interview with Oscar

2016 HIMSS Meeting

 

Rick – Moving forward.  Will be having more frequent meetings.  Want to determine what features vendors and app developers want to put in place.  Rick showed the HIMSS page on the HSPC site.

Marc – Might want to address the write capabilities in the context of how the vendors currently support this.

Rick – Need to align this with the FHIR specification.

Rick will reach out to Marc to discuss further. 

Paul – Asked where the apps would come from.

Rick – There are developers who are not providers who are developing apps.  This aligns with SMART on FHIR.  We still need to get more specific on how applets will be incorporated into the app store.

Paul – Need to include in the roadmap how HSPC can support and galvanize adoption. 

Marc – Asked what the vendors should do.

Paul – The goal is to enable the applications to be supported across vendors. 

Craig – This is what we are doing.  The vendors are moving in that direction.  There will be requirements to be an HSPC compliant application.

Paul — Also need to explain what is needed to work with a specific vendor system.

Rick – We are aiming to be independent of the vendors.  The app developers can target vendors for their HIMSS demo.  The apps should work the same against any EHR. 

Paul – We need milestones in a roadmap. 

Rick – The matrix in the HIMSS page could be used to show what each vendor can do. 

Paul — From an investors perspective, we will open up a flood of investment when we can quantify the potential sales with a much lower development approach.  I can write apps in a common way for a vast market.  If we could enunciate steps on the roadmap to get to that point we can get more investors and developers engaged with HSPC. 

Ajay – Should document the value proposition as part of the messaging for HIMSS

Rick – This should be part of the messaging.  The roadmap should be part of the messaging. 

Paul – We will be there when the apps can easily and economically get data across EHRs, and write back in a common language as well as a common format.
