Review Agenda and Meeting Schedule

 

 

Priority Item –HIMSS Meeting

 

 Rick – Had a meeting last week to debrief. Want to keep the App development group going.  The group will meet monthly.  Craig and Rick will develop a long term view.  The participants felt that their participation was valuable.  It was  a great way to get exposure.  Rick received positive feedback from his presentation.  There was a steady stream of people through the booth.  There was also good participation at the Intermountain booth.

Rick – We should document lessons learned that can be used in planning for next year.  Engagement and partnership was great.  For next year it will be important to have stronger branding and presence.

Oscar – We need to start planning now.  The marketing manager will help with this.

Tom – Talked to Grahame who had people ask if they should join HSPC.  Grahame encouraged people to join.  Grahame said it was not clear to people what HSPC is. 

Oscar – Need to talk to Grahame and make sure he can explain HSPC.

Rick – People are ready to work on HIMSS 2016.

Oscar – We should register for a booth location.  This will require funding.

Oscar – VA supported HSPC in their presentations at HIMSS.  

Rick Freeman

 

Priority Item – HSPC Meeting Plans

 Oscar – We are moving towards an endorsement from the American College of Surgeons.  They are also planning to become members.  They will host the next HSPC meeting.  They have a large room and breakout rooms.  VA will co-host.  IBM will co-host a session or two.  Would like to discuss Watson.  The meeting will be June 17 - 19th.  The afternoon of the 17th will be technical.  The 18th through 3:00 p.m. on the 19th will be the full group. 

Bob – Bob and Davida will be attending a meeting in Italy. 

Oscar – Will talk to Davide. 

Stan – Have good audio for remote presentation.

Stan – Need to start developing a detailed agenda.

Oscar – There is significant interest in use cases.

Stan – Could have a one hour session for updates.

Oscar – Craig will take the lead on developing the agenda and will send out a "save the date"

Craig – Will send out a "save the date"

 

Priority Item – Partner Development –  VA, Mayo

Oscar – Northwestern, UPMC, ACOG, will be joining HSPC.  Oscar is talking at ACOG this week and the Scottsdale Institute with Craig.  Will be following up with CHIME.  CHIME might be able to provide a confluence site.  They have a meeting in Scottsdale in early Fall

Oscar – Strengthened the VA relationship. Have gotten commitment from Shreveport to move forward.  Anticipate meeting on Friday to layout the timeline.  Had a call this morning to discuss the architecture.  Will be using the SOA suite.  This will bring to bear some real world use cases.  The VA has two efforts under way.  First – SOA suite for care coordination.  Second – Still being formed.  Looking for partners to assist in building SOA stack.  They need a way to coordinate the partners supporting the SOA stack development.  Would need a CREDA to designated HSPC as the coordinator.

Oscar – Cerner is considering making the TIBCO platform open source.  The VA is interested in consuming the TIBCO platform.  VA would have two SOA platforms – TIBCO and IBM.

Oscar – Met with OMG.  OMG would like HSPC to become a sub-group in OMG.  OMG has developed the business process standards.

Stan – Met with Regenstrief.  Clarified that HSPC would expand to additional platforms.  Regenstrief will join as an associate and will join the next meeting. 

Stan – It was clear that HSPC strikes a cord with many audiences.  Indian Health Services has implemented an App.  A small company with a blood ordering product HSPC as a way to make their product more marketable.  Athena Health sees HSPC as compatible with their architecture.  Need to follow-up.

Rick – Athena was engaged in the HIMSS development.

Oscar – Have gotten some requests for membership.   

Oscar – Mayo is very interested in a platform as a service delivery and will create a HSPC SIG for this.  They want to create a SOA in the cloud.  TELUS is also interested in this model.  Will be developing a document on the value of HSPC to Mayo.

Stan – This type of document would be useful with other organizations that HSPC wants to partner with.

Bob – In some organizations there may be groups within the organization who want to join.  This could be done without full organizational endorsement. 

Oscar –  The Ministry of Health for Ontario will be joining HSPC.  Oscar will be speaking to them in Toronto.

Ajay – Has a project to link KPIs to technical performance measures for the VA
