Minutes/Conclusions:
Timeline / RIM Harmonization
Crystal K. reviewed the high level milestones/timeline.
Rob M. requested that the team determine if there are any requirements that warrant
RIM harmonization proposal submission by June 10th. Keith B. stated the ‘timing’
vocabulary may require a proposal. Bob D. indicated the CMS eMeasure Issues Group
(eMIG) developed recommendations for vocabulary in the header that should probably
be submitted for harmonization.
The team agreed to develop RIM harmonization proposals for the two items noted
above for review/approval during the HL7 Structured Documents WG call on Thursday,
June 7th from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET US. Keith B. noted that he is not available during
the first hour of the call (SDWG call dial in: 770-657-9270; passcode: 310940).
Keith B. clarified that initial proposals are due June 10th. Final proposals are due July
1st. Additional information regarding the HL7 RIM harmonization is available online at
