a. https://www.healthit.gov/isa/   b. Review variance from formal HL7 Comments – CQI Section (see below notes after agenda)

=============================================Notes from HL7 Comments to ONC on 2018 ISACQI Components=============================================

D – Clinical Quality Measurement – CQI Interoperability Need: Sharing Quality Measure Artifacts for Quality Reporting Initiatives 

o We suggest to reference FHIRPath as an emerging standard (previously called FluentPath and now renamed).  http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=460NOT ADDRESSED

o We suggest that ONC add a roadmap consideration under Limitations, Dependencies, and Preconditions for FHIR Clinical ReasoningNOT ADDRESSED

o We suggest that ONC replace HQMF STU 2.1 with HQMF Normative (R1).  http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=97NOT ADDRESSED

o We suggest to include in the Applicable Security Patterns Considerations the use of FHIR security labels as described at http://www.hl7.org/fhir/security-labels.html to support compliance with laws, policies, and consent directives governing HIPAA PHI and specially protected information (SPI).  NOT ADDRESSED

E – Clinical Quality Reporting Interoperability Need: Reporting Aggregate Quality Data to Federal Quality Reporting Initiatives 

o We suggest that ONC update QRDA Category III to STU 2.1 for aggregate reporting in 2018 and 2019.  http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=405NOT ADDRESSED

Interoperability Need: Reporting Patient-level Quality Data to Federal Quality Reporting Initiatives 

o We suggest that ONC update QRDA Category I to STU 4 for implementation of eCQMs in 2018 and QRDA Category I STU 5 for implementation of eCQMs in 2019. http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=35PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

Reporting Patient-level and Aggregate Quality Data for Quality Reporting and Evaluation 

Page 3: Web viewD – Clinical Quality Measurement – CQI. Interoperability Need: Sharing Quality Measure Artifacts for Quality Reporting Initiatives . We suggest . to

o We noticed that this interoperability need reflects the combination of the prior two interoperability needs combined and just lists FHIR.  We suggest that this should not be a separate interoperability need, rather that the suggested standards are listed under each of the prior two interoperability needs. FHIR REFERENCES WERE COMPLETELY REMOVED

o We suggest to include in the Applicable Security Patterns Considerations the use of FHIR security labels as described at http://www.hl7.org/fhir/security-labels.html to support compliance with laws, policies, and consent directives governing HIPAA PHI and specially protected information (SPI.NOT ADDRESSED

Walter led the discussion of this agenda item. He indicated that it is a concern that why our comments (and HL7 comments) were not addressed by ONC in the final publication. The final published document is located:www.healthit.gov/isa/sites/default/files/2018%20ISA%20Reference%20Edition.pdfAs show in this screenshot below, our recommended standards are not reflected in the published 2018 ISA. For example, the new HQMF Normative standard was not referenced at all. 

Thom commented that it is possible that there was error in the process when the 2018 ISA were put together that these recommendations were missed. In Jan, we’d like to find out that what’s the reason for having put in so much effort making recommendations but were ignored by ONC.

In our comment, we suggested referencing QRDA III STU 2.1, but this was not included in the final 2018 ISA.In Our comment, we recommended QRDA STU 4 and also STU 5, but the final 2018 ISA did not mention STU 5. 

https://healthit.gov/isa/recent-isa-updates shows recent ISA changes. 

“ONC 2018 ISA Input – Analysis” word document is the HL7 Input to 2018 ISA Reference Edition. It includes all comments we submitted to ONC. We will post the document to member only session and share with the listserv of the link. 

We will send a short message to summarize 4 major points we recommended that were not addressed; other points that we recommended but not addressed were minor. Walter asked the workgroup if anyone is concerned that we send out a message without a formal motion. No concern was voiced.

5. Update of Connectathon (Bryn)

Connectathon will be on 1/27 and 1/28. Bryn sent out a meeting invite to cqi listserv for a call on next Tuesday about the Clinical Reasoning Track.Below was taking from the email that Bryn sent to the listserv for reference.“We're planning a connectathon orientation meeting in preparation for the New Orleans Clinical Reasoning connectathon. Please join us as we review the track and discuss goals and strategies.The currently planned scenarios include: 1) Opioid Management decision support from the CDC2) HEDIS Quality Measurement content from NCQA3) PlanDefinition content from Zynx and Motive Medical4) Diabetes mellitus type 2 management decision support from Motive and Edifecs”
