8.. Business items 8.1 Funding issues for IHE. a) The potential for DoHA engagement will be difficult due to potential staffing changes. Received call from Chris Mount expecting a submission.(e-prescribing and e-referral) NEHTA preliminary meeting with Paul Williams and Peter Flemming. Forthcoming meeting with David Mansfileld (conformance initiative) and Tina re a forthcoming government initiative re potential involvement about IHE and AHML. We need to be clear about lines of communication. It is important that everyone makes it clear to NEHTA about what hat we are wearing. If an IHE discussion does occur then we should contact Vince prefereably in advance. It is unclear what the NEHTA approach to IHE will be. There are high expectations that jurisdictions will be able to engage with NEHTA trial of Medicare webservices portal. The portal is for human web access, discussion on programtic access

b) States - not a priority in Victoria due to recent bushfires and current econoimic climate. Likely to be the same with other states. E-referral is at the top of recent discussions with industry. Max reported on e-referral and may be able to engage in doing something on this for the 2009 events. 2nd SOA in healthcare conference coming up soon. Qld Health (David Mitchell) may be able to support to the tune of $3k as per last year.

? run a SOA forum as an educational event at the Connectathon.

Other jurisdiciton interests: NT e-prescribing, ? focus on ordering via HL7.au profile,

c) Discussion about role of CCeH, consideration of how IHE webservices match with NEHTA strategy. Current limited to v2. Peter to liaise with Jane re team to look at the webservices taskgroup.

Industry sources: is in a holding pattern at present due to current economic market, probably less of an issue in the medical vertical, however the future uncertain, advertising and promotional budgets are under the hammer. We may be struggling to get significant industry support. Unlikely to get leadership level sponsorship, build on what was done last year. Vendors have expressed interest in medication management v2.

8.2 IHE pharmacy working group - draft paper - circulate to the list and IT14-6-4 8.3 ISO draft technical framework on IHE XDS.- important to push and influence NEHTA. ? push out on IHE list, 8.3 Memorandum of Establishment - for approval by each organsatoon by next week 8.5 Radiology industry update - ? establishment of a working group to progress. - hold over till next meeting
