Agenda

Notes

Quorum (12/18) met = ?

Item

Notes

Quorum evalution (two-thirds (2/3) of the Voting Representatives shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business)

Currently we have 18 named members, so 2/3 = 12

Open Meeting

Quorum reached at 12:05 PM ET

Review https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1854799893

Added column to capture the perspective folks are bringing to the Steering Committee - this will help to figure out where to properly place folks (what stakeholder group) and who might be a good replacement when their term is up (so that it is not limited to the current organizations over time) - homework for all to fill out.

For the healthcare provider we should make each one individual member / primary voter, while for the Associations we can have a primary voter and an alternate voter, who gets to vote only when the primary is not available; alternate voters must be named ahead of time and be on the roster. We can deal next time with identifying where else we might have alternate voters once we have perspective/ experience filled in.

While ACLA reached out and suggested Craig and Eric for the Steering Committee, the idea is that they are “wearing the commercial lab hat” - not the “ACLA hat” (Eric/Craig to check with Joan).

Goal is to have 13 - 21 members and we also still have 7 government reps (non-voting) to add, so may need to adjust the list somewhat after we have perspective / experience filled in.

Elect Officers

We should approve the charter and standing rules first, because that defines the officers for the Steering Committee - move to next call


Approve https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1867186294

Motion to approve Hung, Stan

- further discussion: consider adding principal to reduce burden for providers and laboratories - accepted as friendly amendment _ add bullet: Reduce administrative burden on laboratory and healthcare providers (e.g related to mapping/cross referencing test)

- against: 0, abstain: 0, in favor: 15

Approve https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1867841677

Motion to approve Marjorie, Dan

- no further discussion

- against: 0, abstain: 0, in favor: 15

Next call

Next meeting choices are 3/21 (no Riki) or 4/4 (SNOMED business meeting, no Robyn) and that would establish the cadence as first Tuesday of the month

We should make 1st and 3rd standing calls and cancel when not needed or reduce the cadence once we have all of our action items completed. 4/18 is HIMMS.

Given that we have a lot to do now, maybe we hijack next week’s SHIELD #2 call and push that presentation back to 4/11.

Decision: Next meeting will be 3/14 - will move the SHIELD #2 to April 11 and set up regular call cadence for 1st and 3rd Tuesday 12 -1 PM ET AND send out a poll to see who is around for those dates through end of May.
