- 9 - 10am: Modular Specifications Project Overview & Pilot Phase The Modular Specifications Project initiated by ONC in the spring of 2011 extracted the specifications that support the listed NwHIN functions utilized in the production Exchange and developed implementable specifications. As part of the process the teams identified and extracted separate modules specifically for transport and security. The Pilot Phase covered the NwHIN SOAP-based secure transport modules. The ONC teams will provide an overview of the Modular Specifications Process and the artifacts created during the Pilot Phase.
- 10 -10:30am: Break
- 10:30am - 12pm: Modular Specifications Phase 2 & 3 Session The Modular Specifications Project moved onto DIRECT specifications for Phases 2 &3.

In this session ONC teams will provide an overview of the artifacts created in Phase 2 and what so far has been created in Phase 3.
