 Health IT Week

Did a demo of HSPC to several members of Congress.  Showed the Bilirubin and growth chart.  The demo was well received.  HSPC already had some visibility with the attendees.

Will need to continue to rely on support from member organizations to send representatives to meeting until HSPC has additional funding. 

Karen de Salvo came by and looked at demo and was favorably impressed.

Take away – Want to continue to do these types of events to promote HSPC. 

Develop a process and policies around attending events for HSPC and for member recruitment "bonus"
Project Plan

Sandbox

Had a meeting on the sandbox and made some key decisions.

Meeting about requirements of existing sandbox

Meeting on Friday for planning

 
Communications and Marketing

 Sent out the newsletter.  Recapped meeting in DC and included links to Confluence,  Also provided instructions on how to join confluence.

Sent out a survey.  Have not had a large response.

Added people to distribution list from Health IT week.  Interest in building applications on top of HSPC.  MedRed expressed interest in building applications. 

Talked to Alexander Lippitt, Director of Standards and Interoperability group from HIMSS.  Will be talking about how to align efforts and how HIMSS can promote HSPC.

Having meetings with ONC and CMS. 

 
Meeting with David McCallie and Marc Overhage

 Had follow-on discussion from meeting in DC.  Wanted to address concerns that Marc and David expressed.  They want HSPC to be a standards effort for developing profiles on FHIR.  This will definitely be a major focus.  Discussed that there were members that were interested in the orchestration framework and the data virtualization layer.  The objective is to build applications that could be plug and play.  Marc was concerned that HSPC had changed direction.  Need to continue discussions and assure vendors that not everyone will need to adopt all standards.

 

We decided at the sand box WG meeting that both models will be followed – application only, orchestrated application with an ESB. 

 

There is a lot of excitement and traction around the FHIR-based profiling and SMART.  Have been able to show tangible results.  This has been easy to do because HSPC has been adopting FHIR.  If we are going to also address the orchestration approach, we need to have demos of this approach to validate the feasibility and value.  Need to make it clear and straightforward.  Need to have a planned effort to develop an orchestration demo. 

 

As we work through the sand box deployment should be able to demonstrate the orchestration approach.  Need to define the reference architecture.  This should not diminish the work and value of the FHIR-based profiles

 
HIMSS Meeting

Datuit is interested in doing a demonstration.

Need to develop a budget for HIMSS

Perhaps could demonstrate in multiple booths.  This shows that this works across implementations. 

Would like to be able to sign up members at HIMSS. 

Virginia will pass Datuit contact information to Rick Freeman

Rick and Oscar will develop a budget for HIMSS

AMIA Meeting  
HSPC Meeting Plans

 No news. Board should weigh in on the plans for the next meeting.  Could do in conjunction with other meetings.  Could add on to HL7 WG meeting in San Antonio.

May want to have a meeting in time to prepare for HIMSS. 

 Target decision by October 1
