10 a.m.-10:15 a.m. Welcome and Introductions
10:15 a.m. -11:15 a.m. Achieving a consensus on
the PHDSC’s vision and mission
-
How much of the Consortium’s focus should be on
HIPAA standards and implementation versus a broader data standards
perspective for public health and health services research?
-
Can we agree on a phased approach, with a very
broad vision encompassing standards for public health but a strong,
short-term focus on HIPAA standards and implementation?
-
Should our short-term educational efforts be
primarily HIPAA driven?
-
Should the Consortium develop partnerships with
SDOs (X12, HL7, NUBC, and NUCC) for developing the broader vision of
data standards e.g., vital statistics, if so, how should the
Consortium facilitate this collaboration?
11:15 a.m. -12 noon Establishing the Overcoming
Barriers/Strategic Planning Work Group (OB/SP WG)
-
How well do the educational strategies align with
the barriers as listed in the Education Strategy report? (review
matrix)
-
Which of these barriers/strategies are likely to
be addressed by one of the other Work Groups? (also to be discussed
later)
-
What guidance should we give the Work Group for
identifying the highest priorities for addressing the barriers and the
strategies?
-
How might this Work Group coordinate with the
other PHDSC work groups’ activities?
12 noon-12:15 p.m. Break (Working Lunch)
12:15 p.m.-1:00 p.m. Establishing the Overcoming
Barriers/Strategic Planning Work Group (OB/SP WG) (cont.)
1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. Establishing the Web-based
Resource Center Work Group (WRC WG)
-
How can the resource center be used to leverage
the short- and long-range goals of the Consortium?
-
Would the short-range goals of the resource center
focus on HIPAA education and implementation issues e.g., the Health
Care Services Data Reporting Guide (HCSDR) and, if so, how should the
Work Group proceed? How would the WRC WG work with the HCSDR WG?
-
Should the Consortium develop partnerships with
regional HIPAA efforts e.g., WEDI, SHARP, Medicaid, in the
implementation of the HCSDR guide. If so, how should the Consortium
facilitate this collaboration?
-
Would the long-range goals of the resource center
encompass the broader vision of uniform health data standards e.g.,
registries, vital statistics, laboratory and Medicaid encounter data,
etc., if so, what would the plans be?
-
Can the Web-based resource center be a bridge to
incorporate broader public health data standards issues?
-
How should this Work Group coordinate with the
other PHDSC Work Groups as well as the activities of other local,
State, and national organizations promoting national standards
development?
-
What other guidance can we give this Work Group in
developing its Work Plan?
2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Establishing the Securing
Funding Work Group (SF WG)
-
How should this Work Group go about securing
funding for the other work groups’ activities e.g., the Web-based
resource center, HIPAA education, and other longer range goals?
-
Identify the high priority projects for obtaining
funding.
-
How does the SF WG integrate its activities with
other local, State, and national organizations promoting national
standards development?
-
What other guidance can we give this Work Group in
developing its Work Plan?
3:00 p.m.-3:45 p.m. Discussion of partners
involved in Work Groups
-
How can the PHDSC membership organizations (the
major partners such as CSTE, ASTHO, NAPHSIS, NAHDO, NACCHO, and AHSRHP)
assist in recruiting active participants for the necessary activities
(Work Groups) vital to success of the PHDSC’s vision and mission?
-
What type of outreach do the PHDSC membership
organizations need to make to their members?
3:45 p.m.-4:30p.m. Review of action
