6. Clinical Working Group December 13, 2011

7. Concept to Codes – Kicked Off 12/6 • Meetings will occur every Tuesday from 3:00 – 4:00 PM EST • Kick Off Summary • Reviewed Scope and Goals with SWG • Identified volunteers who would like to speak as Subject Matter experts • Over the next few weeks, the SWG will hear from distributed query experts who use concept mapping as well as concept mapping experts • Next Steps • 12/13 - Presentations by distributed query SMEs • 12/20, 12/27 - Finalizing schedule for presentations by additional SMEs

8. Development of Query Health CEDD

9. When CIM = CEDD • This work is focused on the idea of a “Query Health CEDD” • An abstract model that can be transformed into a platform-independent model as part of a reference implementation. • What is core to every distributed query and what is needed for specific types of queries? • In terms of how this fits into the bigger picture, the S&I Framework CEDD is putting together a single jumping off point to go from the multiple models in the underlying standards across the S&I to something larger like CIMI. It’s serving as a bridge between the current and the future.

10. Recap of Next Steps on the CEDD • Query Health CEDD Crosswalk available at: http://wiki.siframework.org/Clinical+Information+Model+Activity • Volunteers outlined for key sections of the crosswalk: • Crosswalk available at the following URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApW4Ox66ml2IdEtYR0lwenlJVWl6RC1vVnZuaEppeWc • Review hQuery & SHRINE data models on wiki to prep for next week’s meeting (plan is to walk through those two columns on the crosswalk) • Our approach for this week: • Define the data element • Provide examples of the data element (e.g. what we are talking about) • Notes/other descriptive information to make the element clear
