SCOPE OF WORK
Since 2016, HL7, with support from The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology
(ONC), has produced over 15 C-CDA IATs. Details of these events can be found on HL7’s Confluence space at
https://confluence.hl7.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5996832.
In order for these events to continue, HL7 is seeking a team to perform the duties of C-CDA IAT Program Manager as follows:
Plan and deliver two (2) 1 or 2-day virtual C-CDA IAT events to occur in April and August
2023 by performing the following activities:
1.
Establish the dates and duration of the virtual events.
2.
Meet with program planning team, including representatives from the CDA Management Group, ONC, and HL7 staff, on a regular basis to guide development of the program plan and oversee its execution
and follow-up activities.
3.
Actively seek out and collect topic submissions from CDA community stakeholders; document topic suggestions via Confluence pages at:
https://confluence.hl7.org/display/IAT/Topic+Suggestions+for+2023.04+C-CDA+IAT
and
https://confluence.hl7.org/display/IAT/Topic+Suggestions+for+2023.08+C-CDA+IAT
4.
Work with HL7 staff to modify the above pages so that submissions are emailed to the appropriate project team members.
5.
Work with identified subject matter experts (SMEs) and support staff to develop program content and facilitate program delivery for participants which will include several virtual preparatory working
sessions focused on preparing implementer presenters to be sufficiently prepared to present problems and solutions during the proposed C-CDA “implementer-led” IAT virtual sessions.
6.
Work with identified SMEs who will lead planned discussions at the event to confirm the planned content is aligned with program requirements.
7.
Provide support for promotional activities focused on increasing C-CDA IAT participation with HL7 and other communities using C-CDA (e.g., SHIEC, IHE, DirectTrust).
8.
Assist event facilitators with implementer feedback, suggestions, and technical issues discussed during the IAT to inform follow-on activities (Note: HL7 will work with the awarded contractor to
independently contract SMEs to fulfill the event facilitator positions).

https://confluence.hl7.org/display/CDA/CDA+R2+C-CDA+2.1+Implementation-A-Thon+Action+Items.

effect.
