Message Profile IDs and MSH.21

An in-depth discussion on possible solutions for managing profile OIDs took place.

The plan is to document the proposal and then discuss again and vote.

Action Item: MSH.21 how to manage Profile versions using OIDs; Rob to summarize proposed solutions.

1.New OID entirely

2.Add .1 .2 to OID

3.Delta OID

4.Encoded string with date and version in EI.1

5.Add new MSH element with version and date info (release number).

Functional Requirements Specifications – Project Scope Statement

Started to present the PSS for the Specifying Functional Requirements; this is a guide describing how to specify functional requirements (such as incorporate). This work is in collaboration and is tied to other PSS with Orders and Observations. Much of the quarter was spent explain the level of store requirements for the incorporation of data. Rob presented a set of slide explaining the concepts. See:

LRI_FunctionalRequirementsD2.4.pptx

Conformance Tutorial

Abdul indicated the educational working group was considering a tutorial on conformance and seek CGIT input. CGIT is willing to help lead the effort. Discussion centered on the content ranging from general concepts then to specifics for each domain/protocol.
