Canadian FHIR Baseline Profiles - Governance Stream Meeting - March 5th, 2-3pm EST

Attendees
Michael Savage
Sheridan Cook
Anne Belford
Joan Harper
Shamil Nizamov
Thomas Zhou
• Sheridan and Mike reviewed the updated draft of the CA Baseline Pitch Deck with the group
• Recommended to emphasize the CA Baseline group in the diagram of the full FHIR Implementers Community (just to make sure the audience doesn’t think this is also about eReferral, SoF, etc.)
• For the ‘What are We Doing and Why’ slide, clarify that the CA Profiles can (and should) still be used for region-specific implementations; in other words, the CA Baseline Profiles are not just for Pan-Canadian projects / implementations; any Canadian iGuide (be it regional or national in scope) should start from the CA Baseline starting point
• Want to clarify that the CA Baseline Profiles are absolutely capable of supporting regional needs (regional iGuides can derive from them and place their project/region-specific constraints on top where needed)
• Feedback is to include more high-level / business-level feedback; “Supporting the CA Baseline will bring XYZ benefits to your jurisdiction”; what’s the impact to their lines of business; can re-use wording from other FHIR Baseline/Core initiatives out in the world
• Would be good to be able to include the benefit of getting aligned around standardized code/value sets
• Also would be great in our subsequent pitch to CHI to ask (as part of what we include in ‘Governance’) to include a CA Baseline Validator tool; this would simplify how in future we can frame the notion of iGuides aligning to the CA Baseline; basically “give this CA Baseline Validator to your developers”
• For next Governance Call: Sheridan and Mike to upload updated version of the deck for a subsequent chance for the group to review (expect it next week); next Governance Call will be a chance for more folks to react to the content before we move on and start getting ourselves on the agenda of jurisdictional committee meetings

Hi all,

Our agenda for the Friday 5th Governance meeting is as follows:

1. Confirm if we need to keep reviewing the pitch deck with this group / is there any additional feedback from anyone
2a. (If yes) Discuss feedback on the current status of the deck
2b. (If no) Confirm with group our plan to get this topic on the agenda on the 3 main working group meetings discussed in previous meeting
3. DDR Update - eReferral review is done; next session (March 12th) is ACCESS PHI; need to decide at what point we close the DDR series; can also prioritize CA Baseline Profiles which haven't gotten a lot of attention yet (see IPS as a good opportunity)
