Hello Testing Listserve, During today's conference call, the group was discussing how we could begin to accomplish more of our agenda items in a shorter timeframe and how we could begin to get more people actively involved in our workgroup. As a result, we tried to come up with some ways we could be a little more flexible.
First, let me say that we look forward to your replies to this email. We are open to being flexible concerning our meeting times and our processes for putting together deliverables. Please respond to this email if you have suggestions for changes on meeting times, agendas, facilitation of meetings, or anything that you think would be beneficial to the group or to the industry overall. Secondly, we thought it would be a good idea to try to put some of the items we would like to either complete or begin working on in the next few months into an email and see if we could generate some enthusiasm and, eventually, some volunteers to either lead or work on a team to complete these projects. Below is a list of some of the items our group would like to tackle in the near future and a few that were suggested via the listserve. If you would like to participate in any of these efforts, please just respond to this email and indicate which item(s) interests you and Sue Ryder or myself will be in contact with you. Keep in mind that volunteering for one of these projects does not necessitate you participate in our conference calls. Thanks for your consideration!! Items for Consideration: * Technical Test Scenarios * Survey of Industry for Common Testing Issues in HIPAA Implementation - to be followed up by research and best practices on how to gather and include this data in your transactions * Test Data Repository - gathering de-identified test files for all HIPAA transactions and making them available for the entire industry to use via the internet. * Business to Business Paper update * Testing and Certification paper update * Vendor Consortium on implementing IG rules in same manner *Criteria for certification Thanks!!! _______________________________________________ John Lilleston Technical Supervisor Verizon Information Technologies, Inc.
