HL7 Canada elections
• Jean Duteau provided an overview of the HL7 Canada council
• Would like to get more info about how all HL7 products (v2, v3, FHIR etc) are being used across Canada
• Seeking another nominee - feel free to contact Melva Peters and Jean with questions

Updates from stream leads:
Registries - no updates
eReferral
• Yaron provided the update
• Tim has created a workflow diagram to illustrates the transactions/flows between actors (available from the eReferral Asana project site)
• Lloyd identified that this is more of a messaging approach and that if RESTful approach is being used, the Task resource would be very helpful for tracking the status of the Referral as it moves across actors. Lloyd has offered to join the eReferral workstream call to explain how the Task resource can be used
• Aim is to align this work with other FHIR eReferral and eConsult specifications
• ACTION 7:26:1: If you are interested in learning more about eReferrals, email Tim Berezny to request access to the Asana project team site

Tooling
• Attila provided the update
• Infoway is working on a FHIR strategy, including tooling
• They will be publishing a FHIR Canadian registry in August based on Furore's Simplifier
• Aim is to have all of FHIR initiatives across Canada by April 2018
• Everyone case access and view, registered users can modify the specifications
• Infoway is willing to invest in adding features to Simplifier if the community demonstrates interest in them being available
• Interest in developing a single-sign-on capability
• Canada is an early adopter of this approach (Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Finland have proceeded us). HL7 International is also in discussions with Furore

Biz case development
• Attila provided the update
• It is difficult to make estimates on the cost savings because of the complexity in assigning cost values to the many variables
• There is a business case overview on Infoscribe that describes FHIR and the positives and challenges that should be considered
• This workstream will be considered closed
• ACTION 7:26:2: Attila to share the URL for the FHIR business case

Solution architecture
• Igor provided the update
• Focus on Canadian URIs
• Modeled after the NamingSystem resource
• Once the work is completed, there will be a need to set up governance and maintenance processes to keep it up-to-date going forward and market it so there is awareness and collaboration to make it 'the source' for Canada going forward
