Check with Elizabeth, if there is a way to get the calendar entries emailed as outlook item (rather than alert email, or downloading the calendar as iCalendar) @Amanda Payne

there is an app - plug-in for outlook that might be able to work: https://caldavsynchronizer.org/

AIMS+ Topics

Benson

  1. Need your input on this ticket that IHS logged on having multiple facilities that have different names but share the same CLIA - https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/jira/servicedesk/projects/AIMS/issue/AIMS-33726

    1. we thin option 1 is what is needed, but that may not cover the dashboard reporting - really they shoudl get CLIA for each site!

  2. Need next steps on NCES/IPEDS info that needs to go into guidance for pooled negatives reporters (Battelle wants to finalize data configuration ASAP, targeting go live for them ~Aug 20).

    1. Use ORC-21.1 in order to align with need for CERL reporting (since they only have ordering provider name and bring up on Open ELR call

Pulsecheck/Round Robin

Vocab Team Resource Dashboard

Nat Flatfile Converter changes

 

Potential change requests for the national flatfile HL7Generator - change how Patient Location is mapped - instead of OBX use PV1 segment? - Should this be applied to the Clincial Architecture solution for AIMS+

Next release was supposed to be yesterday - since we obviously didn't make that the next release date is October 19, 2021 (Change FREEZE DATE = Sept 3, 20201)

Confluence Use

Amanda

Centralized document repository for links etc - use of file space? @Amanda Payne to find out if we have that option @Benson Chang to upload all resources his team can share - see here:
Where is the larger decision template? - see the decision log - need to find out, if these can be integrated into the minutes and then pulled together into a page view @Amanda Payne - see here:
this shows how pages are related to each other - we may want to sketch out how we think of our team space and its pages: how they relate to each other and other project/team spaces: https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/360513537/APHL KM Confluence Site Architecture.pdf?api=v2
get guidance from PMO on where the documents should live (on sharepoint or in confluence?)
how to manage links to the project spaces - example: NEW weblinks for NMI CDC reference pages, where should they go?

Show and Tell?

 

SOP Worthy Topics

Succession Planning (Time Permitting)

 

  • We need to create a means to incorporate succession planning into our work since we’d all like to retire someday.

  • Riki made a mind map - consider making your own or adding to this one and see if we can come up with some action items/milestones and target dates

  • Documentation management – how to tag emails and documents going forward to ensure rationale is evident and findable later

  • Having “Show and Tell” calls – for all to learn from each other: how to use a particular tool, what you learned from a conference, etc.

    • Have a dedicated call for the topics on the second Wednesday of the months

    • Have a list of possible topics and expected time for those, so we can pick when we have time left over on regular calls

  • Moving to Confluence should help for harmonization of change requests, retention of institutional knowledge, etc.

Issue Review (Time Permitting)

 

Issues List from Sharepoint

Action items

  • Review the list of SOP worthy topics and add more (what do you think folks need to know, if they are taking over your work, or what skill do you know one of us has, that you would like to learn more about)

  • Sign up to be a presenter for an SOP worthy topic, if you are the one most familiar with the topic, estimate time it will take, and pick a date you might want to present on
