design round 3: synthesis

Tom Lloyd: We have less than six hours to go in the session. What do we need to work on for rest of the day? Do the markets need to revisit their plan to move forward? What are the things you want to work on?

Discussion

In Market X we talked about the ED model. Is that an issue needing work?

What is the use case to prove the contract? That would demonstrate the capability.

The latest on the whole contract is that the original use cases are being done. If we developed our own useful use case, we could probably go with that. If the group has consensus around the ED, we could go down that route.

If you used the ED and had roving surveillance, you could get governance agencies involved.

That wouldn’t be for this contract but could be looked at in the future.

There are actually two RHIOs. One work group will make decisions and the other could act as a steering committee. Is that a structure for this phase?

No, that’s not my decision to make.

We need to show inter-operability between the two RHIOs.

This is an infancy project due by September 30 so it needs to be as simple as we can make it. A lot of the things mentioned will be addressed after September 30 as the state moves forward on its agenda.

I assumed that, but wanted to make it explicitly known to the group.

I have a feeling the New Orleans group will work together and have a meeting of the minds at some point around all that.

What will be helpful for you to work on today? There has to be a differentiation between the contract and what supports the contract.

We need to reset the roadmap.

We discussed yesterday that there is a 501c3 in Baton Rouge that, with expansion, could serve as the steering committee for this project.

There could be another decision diamond for ongoing work.

The roadmap can be laid out however you need it to be.

What else do we need to work?

We need a minimum data set.

That could be a matrix of organizations and data sources.

This is where MOU, BA belong.

We need to include workshops on the roadmap.

We also need to add a high level look at the budget to today’s work.

We need to develop a project management plan for governance.

I see five teams identified. Do each of you see where you would fit into those five?

Who’s actually going to do the technical work components? What is expected and what are the resources?

Who’s accountable for technical work and all parts of that process? We need to be clear about where the resources are being used. Be sure to include the whole value chain.

It would be nice for everyone to walk out today with a common view of what’s going to happen.

Tom Lloyd: So here are the teams I heard you wanted to work on today.

Team A: Use Case
What is going to be the example used in the contracts to ensure we meet the minimum data set?

Team C: Steering Committee
Guidance plan, governance decisions, PMP, BA/MOA, and roadmap.

Team D: Legislative Post 9/29 Needs

Team B: Technical How and Who is Accountable
What goes in and out of the system, translation, and technical aspects of authentication.

Okay, you know the signup drill. Please sign up and quickly sit back down. I promise to get you off to work soon.

(Everyone signs up)

Do we have the right diversity and number of people in each team? We’re building the whole trust factor now in that you trust the people on each team to address the topics they signed up for.

Let’s combine the Steering Committee and Legislative teams to work for about 20 minutes and then they will split.

Okay, let’s get to work. You’ll have 90 minutes to work before we have a quick check-in report.
