Minutes: Meeting Minutes and Agendas:
Time
Keeper: Paul
Minutes:
Brandi
From
this point out, there will be an attempt to send an agenda prior to
all calls, along with minutes from the previous meeting. This will ensure
that the agenda is followed as well as keep to a time schedule. Excellent
feedback was received for sticking to today's time and
agenda!
November WEDi/SNIP Summer In Phoenix Arizona:
Positive
feedback was returned in regards to the panel questions that were distributed to
the group within the agenda for today's call, and that these questions will
produce good discussion. Sue reminded the group that presenters for the
summit (Ed Hafner,Sunny Singh, Kepa Zubeldia) use the powerpoint
template that Wedi endorses for their presentation (presentation due to Kristin
by October 25th), and that panel members (Mark Charles, Dr. Timothy Kovac, John
Lilleston, Sunny Singh, Kepa Zubeldia, Brandi Wyatt) all
forward bios to Kristin by October 4th.
Test Data Repository: Susan Fritz took all dental submissions and compiled the dental technical scenario spreadsheets for submission to the test data repository. This information has been forwarded for review and publication. Paul Root is completing the last portion of the institutional scenarios and is projected to have that delivered by next week. Cynthia Korman gave an update concerning the compilation of Accumed test files and where they are in their approval process to de-identify and release these files for submission to the repository. There was discussion deliberating the need for a "Liability Disclaimer" in regards to the submission/retrieval of test data from the repositories. "Submitters" are reviewing with their respective legal teams to decide if "blanket" disclaimers will cover them, or if they need their own disclaimer per submission. Secondly, test data needs to be de-identified of its patient health information within the files. Thirdly, a concern regarding the ability for anonymous attribution is desired by some submitters. Business-to-Business Paper Updates:
There was a suggestion that
definitions/requirements need to be composed for key-terms in the B2B paper and
to model that section as the group
did in the Testing/Certification paper.
Also, possibly define and add a section in regards to companion
documents, what they can entail, how they are
handled etc. Add a section that discusses/defines practices observed
and make the recommendation for one solid B2B testing process (the example given
that Provider A has to test separately with 5 different payers - each will have
a different way of doing things, and that our "solid recommendation" may ease
some of that burden and give organizations a good foundation to test.
Before
re-writing the paper, the group would like to compile feedback on
current practices in how they are asking their trading partners to test (in an attempt to get a feel for what is being done)
and to educate the group on practices. Ed,
Paul, Brandi have volunteered to start putting together questions
for a possible survey to be distributed at the Summit or to
the listservs or both (this is up for further
discussion).
Recommendations
on Interpretation of Implementation Guide Rules:
The
TCS is making the suggestion that the creation of a sub workgroup/consortium be
formed to coordinate interpretation or guide rules. It is requested that this
issue be raised within Wedi management, and also to seek the participation of
CMS.
Agenda
Items for the Next Meeting:
Formulate list of organizations that are willing to
host repository test data and decide how the information will be broken
up.
Further discuss
a Payer Survey for testing procedures.
Next Meeting Reminder: will be held
October 17 at 11 a.m. eastern time. Call-in number for the meeting is
+1.703.736.7290 pin
