[egov-services] Meeting Highlights march 11 morning

["Lewis, Diane" <Diane.Lewis@usdoj.gov>]

Thanks to Terry and Jouko and Ranjeeth for a productive conversation... the results of which i try to capture below in summary form... and during the meeting tomorrow we will expand on these results....  i think this meeting is a good start  diane

1. Initial discussion was a brainstorm session taking the topic of Health (service) and starting to identify sub groups of services under two major headings:  Public citizen health protection and Public delivery of Health services.
Discussion was supported by learning about Finland's approach to health service and the data collection that occurs based on laws and regulations.

2. identified as an aside the standard HL7 patient records mark-up

3. identified as an aside two data exchange points between Health service delivery/protection and other government services: 
 a) emergency management;  b) social services

4. continued discussion lead to a more organized approach to brainstorming.... which resulted in capturing primary and secondary functions with the "Health Space" and what the meeting participants identified temporarily as the "Diplomacy/Foreign Relations Space"

5. the approach worked well in fleshing out the first scope or boundary for each space.

6. next steps individual SC members  will be asked to serve as lead/editor  for a specific service space... volunteers
	there will be a total of six spaces to define:  Health, Education, Diplomacy/Foreign Relations, Transport, ??

7. Each lead/editor for a service space will contact domain experts, eGov TC members for assistance in fleshing out the service space in terms of boundaries/scope and identify possibilities for information exchanges and possible application of XML technology standards that exist or can be expanded, or need to be developed.

8. every two weeks a teleconference will be held to discuss each lead/editor's findings and resulting work document with all SC members

9.  example of Health space (starting point)

>Patient Records (birth, death, medical)  (primary data/function)
(secondary data/function: fee payment, benefits)
(data exchange with other e-gov services: Social services, legal/law enforcement)
Government to Citizen; Government to Business (health care provider)

>Drug/pharmaceutical life cycle
(secondary data/function: R&D resources, fee payment)
(data exchange with other e-gov services: regulatory/legal/law enforcement)
Government to Business (manufacturing, market)

>Disease Prevention - monitoring  (statistics, research)
(secondary data/function: research, information publishing)
(data exchange with other e-gov services: legal/law enforcement; disaster management)
Government to Government;  Government to Citizen

>> possible granularity:  Immunization management > statistics and research > exchange of information between governments determination of nation/state policy; determine allocation of  resources (e.g. HIV)

>Providers - monitoring - delivery  (providers: individual, entity (e.g. hospital), network of entities)
(secondary data/function: fee payment, benefits)
(data exchange with other e-gov services: regulatory/legal/law enforcement)
Government to Citizen; Government to Business (health care provider)


10.  Diplomacy/Foreign Relations Space

> Treaties and Agreements
(data exchange with other e-gov services: disaster management (network of data sharing for risk analysis)

>Conflict Resolution (between inter and intra states)
