Agenda and Minutes
1. Review
items from previous minutes: The committee reviewed the items from the
previous minutes. Best practices and relationships with other committees were
treated as separate agenda items.
2. Housekeeping:
a. Committee Co-Chairs – Sharon Martin has resigned as co-chair,
due to other time commitments. Raymond Henry’s status as a co-chair is unclear.
Mike Corrigan is the sole attending co-chair. Based on previous discussions
between Sharon Martin and Helayne Sweet, Helayne may be willing to be a co-chair.
The committee agreed to Helayne becoming co-chair if she is willing.
b. Minutes
and Agendas – We agreed we will rotate the responsibility of keeping and updating
the minutes of our meetings
c. Meeting
locations and times – We will work through Janet Palmisano to coordinate our
rooms at GMU. We have decided to have some meetings at the local Hospitals
in order to find out more about their baseline IT capabilities. The next meeting
will be at or near Reston Hospital Center, if a room is available, on Nov.
17 from 8 to 10 AM.
d. Charge
to the Committee from the Summit - We discussed our charge to develop a 1
yr, 2 yr, 3 yr Scenario (consider discussions with the patient committee and
finance committee) explore the interest, possibilities & ramification
of a hub between hospital and physicians office and patients.
3. Relationships
with other committees: Key information and collaboration is needed with
the Patient Safety, Finance, Outreach & Education, Legal documents and
Infrastructure. From the Legal Documents committee, we want to better understand
Privacy, Patient consent and the changes to the Stark Laws; as well as, the
impact the changes may have on RHIOs. We want to open the opportunity for
attending the lessons learned and best practices session.
4. Best
Practices: In our last infrastructure committee
meeting, we agreed to go out and look for best practices and lessons learned.
David Stewart, IBM presented potential topics (attached). IBM is willing to present to the infrastructure committee
or all committees. This would be a knowledge gathering program for all.
IBM will present a market scan that is vendor agnostic. The IBM presentation
is going to occur at our next meeting on November 17 at Reston Hospital Center
between 8 – 10 AM ET.
David Hollins, HCA is going to prepare a presentation
of the systems at Reston Hospital Center.
Angela Falletti, Seimens provided a white paper
from Patientkeepers - RHIO- Opportunities and Risks.
5.
Assessment of Current NV RHIO
participants and infrastructure: Mike
Corrigan presented an updated copy of the National and NV EHR Component Inventory.
He mentioned that several other committees are preparing information that
may be of use in fleshing out the baseline inventory.
6.
Architecture: The committee reviewed the previous Architecture discussion:
The architecture would be “centralized” data, based on timely updates of information
from the original sources. The RHIO data would be a subset of the data of
the participants. In order to provide a more detailed architecture, the committee
will need to resolve a number of open questions:
a.
Level of PHR activity – inquire
what Shared Health in TN is doing with PHR
b.
Location of the centralized data
c.
Transmission protocols and physical
connectivity
d.
Available funding
