Quorum Requirements Met:
Yes /
No
This is an HL7 Structured Documents subgroup and all decisions will be brought to the regular
Structured Documents workgroup meetings.
Agenda Topics
1. Review requirements gathered to date
The workgroup reviewed requirements compiled to date. Stan R. submitted a
number of comments to Dragon that didn’t make it to Crystal for inclusion in the
spreadsheet. Dragon will forward the additional requirements for Crystal to
incorporate and distribute later today.
Additional requirements should be submitted to Crystal ASAP.
2. Define scope of new HQMF ballot requirements
Call for volunteers: Tentative meeting tomorrow (June 13th): Rick recommended
holding a call tomorrow to review and triage the requirements gathered to date.
Keith B. expressed concerned about short notice for the call. Rick clarified that
HQMF Ballot Development Mtg_Minutes_06.05.2012
the call is simply focused on triaging requirements to identify those needing more
discussion. The call is not intended for making decisions. The resulting work will
be reviewed with the HL7 SDWG on Thursday, June 14th to keep the committee
informed.
3. Review potential design approaches to HQMF
 Keith B. shared the Query Health design approach with the group.
o The group agreed that HQMF needs to be able to handle
continuous variable and ratio measures.
o There should be better clarity/distinction in the various components
of the population criteria, such as business names for codes to
support easier implementation.
 Aaron Cutshall shared an example of historical XML markup used for
measure calculations.
