Discussion: anyone planning or interested in attending?
HLHC-SIG Subgroup Updates
We have not had a meeting since the last HLHC SIG meeting due to my travel
I am currently at the Hyperledger Global Forum, which I will provide a more comprehensive summary on later, but the HLHC SIG did meet yesterday - a group of 6 of us
For the Donor Milk POC, we reached out again to Rapid Healthcare (both Anton and Ron) and did not hear anything back. We should now consider them no longer involved in the project. I have not reached out to HMBANA yet to see if they are willing to take on the “customer voice” role, but I will do that this week. I had an initial conversation with IBM Food Trust and they are going to reach out to both there healthcare and social impact groups to see if there is interest in collaborating. We are currently waiting for their response/feedback
For 2019 planning, I have not started on the subgroup charter or proposed activities/focus areas, but I plan to have that as the focused between now and end of the year
Ask: If anyone has connections in the donor milk ecosystem, I would love to talk to them. Also, if anyone is interested to contribute to the 2019 planning, please let me know: mari.iannarone@gmail.com or find me on rocket.chat: Mari499
Our next meeting will be December 21 at 9am PST, feel free to reach out if you have any questions
Raveesh updated the group on the draft paper that they're working on as it relates to a blockchain decision tree (a framework)
Not necessarily just for the healthcare payer domain (should be broad enough to be used elsewhere)
With the holidays approaching, unlikely to do any work until early January
Jeff commented that the holidays have had an impact on progress, but the work is coming together
Not yet ready to present to the larger group, but will eventually get this out to full HLHC-SIG membership
Sonia asked if there has been any due diligence done on researching decision trees generated from other organizations
Jeff indicated that most existing decision tree frameworks are not particularly objective (“self serving”), but rather a means to an end
Convened ad hoc team to determine the direction of the EMR Subgroup
Determined that it was best to disband the EMR Subgroup
Will be removed from the calendar by the end of this year
HLHC-SIG Ad Hoc Team Updates
Team is working with Tracy Kuhrt on the move to Confluence
Mikhail provided an update, indicating that the team is working on the new #wiki Rocket.Chat
Looking to define standard templates to make the management of the wiki easier
Hoping to make it easier to update information in one place, but viewed/used in many places
Team has completed a final edit pass, with the draft charter now available for full membership review
Draft charter will also go to Hyperledger leadership review
Subgroup Review Team (Benjamin Djidi, Mikhail Elias, Jeff Stollman, Steven Elliot, Robert Coli, and Sonia Wagner, Lead)
Sonia presented on the status of the work that the team has been doing since late November
Focus on more back-end technical functionality of subgroups and SIG
Planning the creation of a new subgroup to replace the defunct EMR Sugroup
There will be common technical needs for all healthcare use cases
Starting with a small POC to create a product/platform/service that will help to support any healthcare use case
Trying to reduce redundancies in building technology
Also proposing a common non-technical needs component (example is the Payer Subgroup decision tree white paper)
A subgroup focussed on common technical needs; and a subgroup focussed on common non-technical needs
All in proposal phase at this point
Will begin to write a charter and will ultimately present to other subgroup leads and eventually roll this out to membership
Sonia will possibly present at an upcoming HLHC-SIG General Meeting
Unique opportunity to rethink the broader approach of the SIG
Jeff indicated that he believes strongly that, going forward, we need to find a way to communicate across SIGs and WGs, so we can share ideas and leverage between groups (cross-cutting concerns)
Rich will loop Jeff into the discussion with David Boswell
Mikhail added that this approach will work well more naturally with other SIGs
Old Business
After some discussion on the listserv, it appears that current approaches to HIPAA compliant solutions are primarily procedural and less technical
No current planned follow up on this topic
New Business
Next Meeting
Scheduled for Friday, 01/11 (no 12/28 meeting, due to holidays), 0700 Pacific Time
