Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1.  Partners in Interoperability April 26-27

·  Reminder: Registration is open

·  HL7 is targeting three groups to engineer standards that meet their stakeholder needs.: 1) BioPharma, 2) Payer/Provider and 3) Clinicians

·  The goal is to close gaps in standards of interest to each group

·  The value to payers is collaboration with providers in the move to value-based care

·  Information is posted on the HL7 website (http://www.hl7.org/events/interoperability042016/?ref=banner )

2.  Supplemental Guide Ballot Reconciliation

·  The final document (Version 3.7) is posted on the AWG website.

·  The AWG is requested to review this version.

·  Pending final review, the AWG will vote on moving the document to publication.

·  Pending the affirmative result of the vote, all negative ballot participants will be requested to withdraw their negative vote.

·  Liora will review the appropriate version of the Quick Reference Guide to add information to section 3.1.2

·  The group will review the need for inclusion of Document Succession and the recommendation for it in the STU

·  Typos in section 3.1.2 were corrected

·  The ASC X12 PWK report types and LOINC requirements will be reviewed.

3.  HIMSS16 Update – Five takeaways

·  The pledge – Industry leader pledge to improve interoperability including 90 % of EHR vendors and five of the largest hospitals in the US.

·  FHIR Cloud – using the FHIR standard to leverage clinical data stored in the cloud.

·  CMS backs up the doctors – regulations are slowing doctors down need a user centered approach to designing policy such as MACRA.

·  Payer-Provider convergence – payer and provider goals are becoming more aligned and both need to work together to bend the cost curve.

·  Moving along on the population health train – need to marry clinical data and financial data to manage chronic diseases.

4.  Montreal WGM

·  REMINDER: the workgroup will be meeting in Montreal May 8-13
