• All present at this meeting agree to defer the approval of minutes of previous meeting to next meeting when other members at the previous meeting are present to approve the minutes

Medication WG Mission and Charter, and Decision Making Process Documents

• A quick overview of the two documents was conducted
• A couple of comment were expressed: 
  • The Medication WG does not necessary have the ability to "assure" that the interoperable medication contents address all requirements of stakeholders
  • The scope of interoperable contents is too broad as the WG does not have the bandwidth to fulfil the scope specified in this Mission statement
• Action items:
  • Stephen to review similar documents approved by the Patient Admin WG and to align these two Medication WG document contents with similar documents form the Patient Admin WG to ensure consistency in approaches
  • Stephen will post the revised documents on Medication WG confluence page for members review and commenting
• Plan:
  • To finalise and approve these documents at the next conference call

Distribution of WG information to members:

• The matter on how to effectively distribute information of the WG to members was discussed
• It was suggested that members signed up to the WG should receive regular email notification about documents/resources available
• Action item:
  • Stephen to discuss with Rebecca on establishing HL7 Australia listserv facility similar to HL7 International

WG Scope of work:

• Three categories of Medication/Pharmacy standards work were discussed:
  • HL7 v2 
  • CDA
  • FHIR
• It is unclear that there is any implementation or any planned/interest in implementation of HL7 v2.x pharmacy/medication management standards in Australia. 
• CDA standards in Prescription-Dispense-Prescription request value chain are based on NEHTA and Standards Australia IT014-04 works. They are still relevant to My Health Record (previously PCEHR) and are likely to be used to support those requirements.
• FHIR Medication Resources - appears to have higher traction and may offer something useful to digital health and implementers
• Plan:
  • To continue explore/discuss values in profiling and localisation of FHIR medication resources in the next meeting

Meeting adjourned:

• Meeting closed at 15:05

Next meeting:

• Monday 29 August 2016 at 2:00 pm Australia Eastern Standard Time
• There is suggestion on setting meeting to the fourth week of each month. 
• Stephen to discuss with Rebecca on whether this makes the auto-email notification to members easier.
