• The group discussed the evolving Pitch Deck which will be used to communicate the benefits and asks of the Canadian FHIR Baseline Profiles initiative to pan-canadian stakeholders
• Suggestion – federal government has power to mandate uptake of pan-Can standards like CIHI’s reporting requirements from across Canada
• Perhaps Health Canada + CIHI is a stakeholder group we can take the CA Baseline to in the context of them supporting in this way (i.e. IGs for national reporting must be derived from CA Baseline)
• Infoway – similar ask but in the context of care delivery, whereas Health Canada + CIHI reporting context is more ‘back-end’
• No reason the pitch can’t go to both Health Canada + CIHI and Infoway
• Important to note that Canada has already put weight, governance, and funding behind the above national mandatory reporting requirements
• Suggestion – can look at CIHI’s primary care indicators and their primary care content standard for a future Due Diligence Review consideration (or motivated folks can review offline on their own and report back on their high-level findings in the new year)
• What are we asking our own organizations for in terms of ‘support’? What does their providing their logo in our pitch deck mean?
• At a minimum, we’re looking for our home organizations to provide their logos in the spirit of supporting the ‘vision’ of the Canadian FHIR Baseline Profiles (e.g. ‘_____ supports the vision of the CA Baseline Profiles, and supports the vision of pan-Canadian usage of common FHIR profiles as a starting point for net-new implementations)
• NOTE: Dec 25th we will NOT be hosting any Governance conversations; Governance will resume for its next bi-weekly occurrence in the New Year
