HL7 PHER Work Group Meeting Minutes
Minutes/Conclusions Reached:
1. After the introductions the agenda was reviewed, modified slightly, and approved.
2. Immunization Conformance testing update. Melva Peters, with the assistance of Joginder Madra and
Jean Duteau, displayed and explained the test cases developed and noted the Aegis will be
demonstrating the conformance platform in about 10 days. They will pick one or two cases for the
demonstration.
3. Discussion and resolution of the posting of the ELR to Public Health R1 and R2 documents to the
Product Brief pages, including the question from Ken McCaslin about the R1/R2 relationship. The issue
is that R1 as an Informative document and R2 as a DSTU would not both appear in the Product Brief
pages. Eric Haas made a motion to ask the HL7 Staff to list the R1 Informative document on the Product
Brief pages and list the R2 document with the DSTU documents.
Motion: Ask the HL7 Staff to list the R1 Informative document on the Product Brief pages and list the R2
document with the DSTU documents. Moved Eric Haas, second by Austin Kreisler. The motion passed,
in favor 13, opposed 0, abstain 2.
4. Notice of Intent to Ballot (NIB) for the OASIS/TEP to V2 message transformation specifications. The
committee filled in the essential elements of the NIB and approved the completion of the form by copying
information from the Project Scope Statement (PSS) and then approved the PSS.
Motion: Complete the NIB for the OASIS/TEP to V2 message transformation specifications by inserting
information from the PSS and approve the NIB. Moved by Tim Grapes, seconded by Austin Kreisler. The
motion passed, in favor 13, opposed 0, abstain 2.
5. Cancer Registry project and ballot.
a. Changes made in the Structured Documents Work Group (SDWG), including a project requirement that
the document produced be conformant to the CDA Implementation Guide Quality Specifications was
disucssed. It agreed that we accept the changes and include SDWG as a co-sponsor.
Motion: Accept the changes to the PSS for the Cancer Registry project scope statement (PSS) and
include SDWG as a co-sponsor. Move by John Roberts, second by Austin Kreisler. Motion passed, in
favor 16, opposed 0, abstaining 0.
b. The Cancer Registry ballot plans were discussed and the plan is to bring a NIB forward in four months,
to ballot the document in the September 2014 cycle. Anna Langhans will change the dates and send the
PSS to John R. for approvals in the Domain Experts Steering Division and TSC.
6. The matter of PHER's vacant Vocabulary Facilitator position was discussed. Riki Merrick and Eric Haas
both agreed to become qualified and to split the duties between them.
7. ELR to Public Health IG R2 Errata. Eric Haas will bring up to 1/2 hour of R2 ELR Errata discussion to te
PHER calls on 2/20, 2/27 and 3/2.
