      • Creating a hit-list for items to be completed in short spans of time
    • May potentially hold an additional CSharp-Java architecture review
    • Big upward slopes in terms of commits/lines of code
  • Commended the Reference Implementation WG for the vast strides made of recent


Documentation and Testing WG Update

Arien Malec

  • Recognized that Janet Campbell is not present
  • Proceeded to Documentation and Testing WG update
  • Believed the S/MIME Configuration Specification is nearing consensus
  • Addressed the XDD Specification
    • Conversations taking place this week

Communications WG Update

Rich Elmore

  • Stated they had their update meeting today
  • Identified the WG's progress on their central PowerPoint presentations
    • Goal is to summarize NHIN Direct what it is
  • Discussed the WG's two-page messages for the following:
    • States
    • HIEs
    • HIT Vendors
    • Providers
  • Recognized that the messaging itself is stabilizing
    • Need to make it more presentable
  • Expressed goal of moving on to some other deliverables
    • One pagers on NHIN Direct
  • Commended Brian Ahier, David Kibbe, Michelle Darnell and Janet Campbell for their leadership on various documents


Best Practices WG Update

Arien Malec

  • Clarified that this WG was tentatively/briefly entitled the "Policy WG"
    • Renamed it the "Best Practices WG"
    • Still involves policy, however with a small "p" instead of a big "P"
      • Takes recommendations from the Tiger Team/other policymakers
      • Turns them into actionable policy items for NHIN Direct
    • Will have to collaborate with those ongoing policy-advising bodies
      • This is in order to prevent NHIN Direct from advancing best practices ahead of current advice
  • Shared that the first meeting is this Thursday from 1pm-2pm
    • This week they will focus on drafting the charter
    • Preselected group of participants
    • However, if you have an interest, please send your requests to [[1]]


Q&A

Doug Arnold

  • Asked if IG members will be notified when the communications documents are ready

Rich Elmore

  • Responded that the IG will be notified when they are
    • Need to make sure the presentations are clean and ready
    • Week or two away from that

Gary Christensen

  • Asked for an update on the API call for integration of EHR vendors

Arien Malec

  • Responded that a lot of thinking is going into that
    • Waiting to get the core code ready to the feature-complete state
    • Then they will prepare/add the API niceties which are developer-friendly
  • Added that it is definitely a priority

Rich Elmore

  • Highlighted point with respect to the Best Practices WG
    • The Tiger Team had indicated it would be a while before they get to the policy questions associated with NHIN Direct

Arien Malec

  • Recognized the merit of Rich Elmore's point
    • Clarified that they have a good cross-pollination between the Tiger Team/ONC Policy folk and the new Best Practices WG
    • If not, the only thing they can do is create best practice guidance on some of those policy recommendations
  • Commented this is a low risk because of the cross-pollination
    • Do not want the Best Practice WG making new policy advice/recommendations
    • There are enough needs across all stakeholder groups
      • Looking at states, NHIN governance, insurance exchanges, etc.


Calendar and Participation

Arien Malec

  • Stated that WG meetings are now evenly spread across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
  • Expressed appreciation for the work conducted by those dedicated to the NHIN Direct project
