Administrative Reminders None

QRDA++ Specification Update Srinivas Velamuri has volunteered to help us with the QRDA Specification Has worked with the QRDA spec as part of the CMS Activities Has published article in the Journal for Health Information Management Examine the existing standard Represent sample query results in QRDA standard Start Identifying changes or modifications required for the existing standard to represent results for Query Health

HQMF++ Specification Update HL7 Project Scope statement drafted Collected the changes Identified by Keith Boone and Marc Hadley Coordination with NQF / CMS ongoing Presenting the information to HL7 to get project approved for balloting the next version with changes required for Query Health Proposed HQMF Changes Please provide comments on the proposed changes. Keith B continuing work on HL7 schema updates for the changes

Query Envelope Specification Update Query Envelope Specification PopMedNet reviewed the Plug-in design with hQuery and i2B2 Starting point for the Query Envelope specification Planning to have more focused deep dives on the internal PopMedNet Portal to Data Client communication to document the meta data.

RI Update Plugin design review completed Plugin document to be published tomorrow for consumption Working out the details of integration between hQuery / i2B2 and PopMedNet based on the Plug-in design PopMedNet v2.0 uploaded to repository File > 220 MB and is causing download problems with regular synchronization of the Trunk Planning to make it available through the downloads tab (There is a file limit of 200 MB) Working on splitting it up and uploading the version.

Develop Website Components Compose web pages that encapsulate the query building process Add logic to decrypt PMN authentication tokens Subscribe and implement PMN plugin web service API Optionally add logic to filter DataMarts based on metadata Format plugin registration XML Develop DataMart Components Create a.NET project that produces a DLL using.NET 4 Implement the IModelProcessor interface used to process requests and return responses Optionally create a response document that be used to display the response to the user (DataMart Administrators, Investigators, Group Administrators, etc.) Create a deployment project to install the model processor at DataMarts Register Plugin with PMN Create a plugin registration XML file containing the following items “Create Request” URL that contains a substitution parameter to be inserted for the PMN Request Token “Retrieve Response” URL that contains a substitution parameter to be inserted for the PMN Response Token Public key of your asymmetric cryptographic key (the private key remains at the plugin’s site) An entry for each Request Types, each having a user-friendly name and a unique identifier within the plug Optionally designate one of the Request Types as a metadata request used to filter DataMarts Metadata (such as plugin name, website, , etc.)
