Agenda and Notes

Agenda 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 (excluding chair and government members)

Open Meeting

12:12 PM EDT reached quorum

Review Working Group Committee list and establish SC representation

https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1887437089

Will create confluence pages for each Working Group (done) - leads please populate similar to https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1938718763/Laboratory+Interoperability+Data+Repository+LIDR+WOrking+Group

Will send announcement to ALL Shield list before the next ALL SHIELD call on May 30 and request folks to sign up for the working groups they are interested in

Leads will find call time and invite interested people

Sequoia Usability Working Group

Lab will be a focus for the usability project this year. Proposals due by June.  They mentioned they may have a taskforce. slides from the call on May 4, 2023 - recording is there, too (TX Health authority shared some of their experience of how lab data is represented in EHR)

Focusing on EHR-EHR and EHR-PH data - focusing on C-CDA so far

physician and EHR centric - members are large healthcare systems

Designated administrators for TEFCA initiative

Sequoia is not creating new standards, they want to point to existing ones and promote their use

may be good to get feedback from physicians (get baseline metrics and then show improvement after adpoting of SHIELD promoted standards?)

https://sequoiaproject.org/

Will add to Topics of interest on ALL SHIELD call slides, but does SC want to try to solicit feedback from physicians in time for the proposal deadline?

maybe get painpoints from providers and how this relates to SHIELD initatives?

NPRM feedback

Should we use the June 13th call to gather feedback on the RFI around laboratory standards and submit as SHIELD?

We would probalby not have time to vote as SC on what we collect - unless we have SC quorum on that call - other thoughts?

We could do an email vote on the comments

Create confluence page separated in sections for each question prior to the June 13th call

Add section for feedback for IVD vendors

Use the May 30 call for collecting feedback from the larger group, request feedback by June 5th and review where we are on June 6

Call schedule in the summer

June 6 - ok

June 13th - final comments on NRPM and maybe vote / or do by email

June 20 - Andrea will lead

June 27 - ALL SHIELD call

July 4 - need to reschedule - do later in June

Charter updates: Draft non-participation clause for SC

Any volunteers?

NOT DISCUSSED

Logistics of publishing community approved work products

Will need to make these small changes before final version is ready:

Fix the numering on the footnotes

add reference to AUTO17, as that was pulished last week!

<LINK TO FINAL VERSION OF ROADMAP>

Document decision workflow (e.g. WG product - ALL SHIELD review and comment - comment resolution in WG - Steering Committee approval - work product publication)

NOT DISCUSSED

Review project proposal template

just wait to see, how this works and adjust as needed

Meetings

https://loinc.org/conference/atlanta-2023/ October 17-20

Submit proposals by May 31

Should SHIELD submit something?
