Old Business
- Status on current work efforts
- * Discussion: open discussion on expectations and direction of this subgroup
- Discussion of past EMR Subgroup meetings
- Sonia and Rich attended the last known EMR Subgroup meeting (10/02), which is believed to have been the last meeting of the subgroup
- Past meeting emphasized an EMR solution from the provider perspective
- Expectation is that the current work on our HLHCWG charter review/revision will help set the proper tenor going forward
- Question about the distinction between EMRs and EHRs
- EHRs are a broader interpretation of electronic health records management, while…
- EMRs are typically a subset of an EHR, generally provider-facing, used in provider practices (satellite to larger healthcare systems)
- Larger question of whether this subgroup focus on EHRs or the provider (harmonizing with the other subgroups: patient and payer)
- Concept surfaced of whether it makes sense to view use cases from the end-user perspective (application layer / top down)
- What if we viewed our work as bottom up, more as a provider of a healthcare platform of services?
- Cross-cutting issues of data management, security, and interoperability fall into the context of this approach
- Implications touch all current subgroups
- Important to maintain an understanding that WGs exist to drive issues in the proper context (in this case, healthcare) up to Hyperledger leadership such that architectural/feature improvements can be made to improve frameworks/toolsets
- Public healthcare could be one way to rescope the focus for this (or another, separate) subgroup
New Business
- Seeking new lead for this subgroup
- Discussion: recommendations/nominations?
- From the good discussions from today's meeting, the group has decided to spin up an ad hoc committee to do some additional due diligence in advance of the next meeting
- Sonia has volunteered to serve as lead for this team, with Ben and Mikhail working with Sonia
- Rich will loop Steven Elliot (not in attendance) into the team, as Steven and Mikhail have complementary thoughts
- Our next meeting will continue the discussion about how best to shape the charter of this subgroup going forward
Next Meeting
- Scheduled for Tuesday, 12/04, 0800 Pacific Time
- Discussion: topics to add to agenda?
