Notes from the March 27, 2020 call

The outreach for venues for the HIMSS demo has produced several opportunities:

  • LeadingAge State Technology Initiatives - they were looking for a demo on April 1, which was a too short of a notice. Looking to re-schedule.

  • DirectTrust Clinicians Steering Workgroup - Noon Eastern April 14 meeting. They plan to also invite the Physician EHR Coalition (PEHRC). They can also provide the EMDI questionnaire to attendants.

  • The Annual DirectTrust Summit in June - there is a 360X demo already planned, not the same as the HIMSS demo.
  • HIMSS LTPAC committee - Dr, Miller has a call with them next week.
  • The VA - They are interested to see the demo, and they want to invite the DoD. Dr. Miller has a call with them on April 2.
  • The DoD - separately or with VA, no suggested timeframe
  • The CMS EMDI Initiative (which is sponsoring the first production 360X pilot) would like to see the demo. They are working on a June date.
  • NCQA is interested in a presentation (not demo).

The work on the 360 XL IHE profile will continue with volume 2. Volunteers for editors are welcome. Mid-April Vassil can provide guidance on the process and available tasks.

Short call. Still no communications from HIMSS regarding online demo opportunities. Several volunteers will look at various opportunities to demo to interested groups (starting with VIP tour list).

Work on IHE profile for 360XL (L is for Long-term care). One thing we hadn't noted before is the LOINC code to use for submission set content type (and in the HL7 v2 message, and in Document Entry document class). Appropriate codes seem to be LOINC 85199-8 and LOINC 85187-3. An older code, 34140-4, seems to be discontinued.

No communications from HIMSS. Everyone is encouraged to submit our scenario as the preferred event to be presented online.

Several people offered to look for opportunities to present the demo, we will continue to discuss this via e-mail.

HIMSS is cancelled, but it is going online (HIMSS Digital).

Reviewed options to move the demo along:

  • Making a recording
  • Wait for HIMSS for guidance
  • Looking for other opportunities to show the demo

At this point it seems that waiting for HIMSS to organize the Interop Showcase online is the best way forward, as they have asked us explicitly to refrain from recording.

We will still have another rehearsal on Monday and Tuesday next week.
