Short call, reviewed testing sessions.

No call on 11/29.

The IHE PCC Committee accepted the proposal for a new profile to handle the LTAC use case at the face-to-face meeting this week. The goal is to have the draft document for the February meeting, after which it can be published for a public comment period. In addition, several Change Proposals to the existing 360X profile are in the works, in order to bring the profile up-to-date with our decisions from the past year.

We reviewed the CMS Discharge Planning Rule brief and how it affects the LTAC implementation guide.

We finalized the wording of the Short Description for the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase demo.

Reviewed the testing sessions from the past week, and agreed to another set of sessions on November 19 and November 20.
