RE: [xspa] minutes of 29 August 2008 TC Meeting

["Staggs, David (SAIC)" <David.Staggs@va.gov>]

WRT links to HL7, we have high visibility.  One XSPA member (Mike Davis) spoke at the last HL7 plenary meeting (Phoenix) on the RSA XACML InterOp and the creation of the XSPA TC.  We also briefed the HL7 Security TC on the creation of XSPA.  

 

Next week the 22nd Annual Plenary and Working Group Meeting will open in Vancouver.  We will brief the HL7 security TC on XSPA.  There are work items in that group and CBCC (Community Based Collaborative Care) that we are referencing in the XPSA profile. 

 

I am attending a HITSP meeting this week and speaking with both HL7 and IHE representatives about participating in the XSPA TC.

Regards,

David

Approved with unanimous consent

 

Issues

3. Discussion on the XSPA TC Press Release:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/200808/msg00018.html

Any sponsoring organizations should contact Carol Geyer.  Planned release of August 28 has been delayed to allow contributors more time to get approval of the proposed text.

 

4. Discussion of HIMSS / IHE:

We are requesting a 30'x12' space to hold the InterOp at the HIMSS conference in April 2009 at Chicago.  HIMSS and OASIS representatives are scheduled to negotiate location and cost of the booth.

 

Tony Nadalin asked how XSPA should coordinate with IHE.  John Moehrke, who is very active there, reported cooperation with IHE already through HITSP.  No immediate need to formally tie IHE to XSPA TC.

 

5. Proposal to create two profiles

Mike Davis proposed creation of a second XSPA profile for use internationally. 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/200808/msg00019.html

The international version would allow different healthcare vocabulary / standards and include suggestions by experts in the international realm.  Tony Nadalin pointed out participation is typically limited because of IPR and that the vocabulary / standards used in the international realm may have to be under same IPR policy as the TC.  Action item assigned to investigate impact of citing other healthcare vocabulary / standards.

 

MOTION: To add second XSPA profile for use internationally if international vocabularies / standards are available for use within our IPR policy.

Voice vote, none against, Tony Nadalin and Mike McIntosh abstain.

MOTION PASSED.

 

6. Comment from Mike Davis that SNOMED CTmay be useful within the XSPA profile to assign authorizations hierarchically, instead of individually.  Mike has posted a diagram on the list.  Questions remain on the use of SNOMED in the profile.

 

7. XSPA profiles being reviewed in the following TCs, comments are requested.
