Agenda/Discussion Items: 

1. Welcome and Intros

1. Recruiting new members

1. Schedule for ongoing meetings

a.      Alternate times

1. Identify 3 Strategies for the committee that align with the overall goal of SHIELD (This will help us with the Strategy Map component of the Strategic Plan document)

a.      Some Examples

                                                              i.      How well are we moving coding upstream?

1. Ties with LIVD file expansion committee

LIVID file comprised of COVID 19 testing

                                                             ii.      Are we improving awareness of standards, coding and interoperability efforts?

1. Ties in with Communications/Training/Education committee

                                                           iii.      Are we seeing downstream improvements in the coding of patient data?

1. Ties in with Implementation committee

1. Short term

a.      How many labs are reporting? How many are reporting correctly?

1. Long term

a.      Profiency testing – Link to CLIA

b.      IVD Data hub

                                                           iv.      Other strategies?

1. Identify Key Initiatives/Action Items for each of the 3 strategies and deliverables that would accompany these initiatives

a.      Examples

                                                              i.      Measure coding of vendors, coding results, code inclusion in vendor materials. Other thougths?

                                                             ii.      Surveys, Other thoughts?

                                                           iii.      Data access modalities?  Large projects? Lab surveys?

1. If time allow – discuss a potential 3 year timeline to carry out the tasks/initiatives/produce deliverables

Issues/Resolution:

• Effectiveness committee is 100% dependent on rest of SHIELD’s counterparts

O We are coming up with ways of measuring and monitoring what other components of SHIELD is producing

·       How are we getting data / insight from other committees? Contacts from committees, deadlines, etc

·       Progress so far of LIVID Committee in relation to Effectiveness Committee:

o   They can’t do all IBD. What we need is a repository that does this work for other data systems and have industry submit to that repository their codes which would turn into public access.

o   LIVID committee would provide template in beginning on how industry should proceed and some quality assurance activity around this file

o   Getting labs (LIS system) to adopt this coding scheme in a consistent way

o   1) We want to link the effort to current CLIA performance measurements

·       Progress so far on Implementation Committee in relation to Effectiveness Committee:

o   2) IBD data hub that would be used by industry to do studies for safety and efficacy to submit to FDA. Post market data that would be useful to industry to evaluate their products for the FDA

§  Series of healthcare providers that are all participating in providing the data

o   3) Identify healthcare systems for their own purposes that need to sort out their interoperability issues and patient safety issues
