Quality Initative

@Former user (Deleted)

• Standing item

• Update provided by @Jim Case.

  • High level overview of the process:

    • Work involves looking at a sub-hierarchy, identifying intermediate primitives and modelling patterns.

    • A template that provides a base pattern for how content in a sub-hierarchy should be modelled is developed and run against the content to check conformance.

    • If content conforms the proximal primitive parent modelling approach is applied. If content does not confirm, an author makes the correction.

    • Iterative process, resolving low hanging fruit first with more complex left to second iteration.

  • Multi-year project.

  • First hierarchy being focused on is Clinical Findings (followed by Procedures). Within the CF hierarchy there are 870 sub-hierarchies to be looked at. Hoping to improve sufficiently defined content from 55% to about 90%.

  • Templates that are developed will be made available. Will be embedded within the Managed Service Platform at some future point in time.

  • Planned as part of the reporting process to provide statistics on the improvements.

  • Release notes will advise on the areas worked on. A dynamically updated page would need to be discussed internally.

• Request for the CMAG to provide feedback on the specific sub areas that would be important for members to be prioritised. @Cathy Richardson to set up an action item for the group. The group will be given longer than 3 weeks to respond given the size of the work item.

  • Stakeholder engagement was discussed but is not being progressed at a group level.

• The following link wasn't provided at the meeting but the subpages located here will provide those interested with information on this work: QI Project

• The value of frequency data was discussed and recognised.

Editorial Guidance revamp update

@Monica Harry

• Main issue with current document was identified as people having difficultly finding things. Goal of revamp: improve layout, more consistently illustrated, an order that is more efficient and practical to support work activities. Content has not had substantive changes.

• Recording shows the new layout.

• Extent of external input to be determined, expected to be sort later in April.

• Changes do occur given internal work (as required), such as the QI project.

EAG decisions - User impact

@Jim Case

• Standing item

• The current EAG focus is strategic and tactical, looking at internal structure issues e.g. context and coming up with a long term plan to manage this. CMAG input will not be required until later when the impact on countries needs to be considered.

Extension content development

@Linda Parisien, @Matt Cordell @Elaine Wooler

• Linda presented some mock ups on landing pages for Members information. This would include a generic information page and another for country specific terminology information (catering for 2 different audiences).

• Presentation was given to the Member Forum and they provided feedback. Further work will now be undertaken by Canada. Timeline yet to be set. The presentation for this was not shown during the meeting, however is now attached to this page.

• This item will sit with the Member Forum with the CMAG getting updates.

• The potential for use of CMAG pages when at a later point in time countries are looking at active content collaboration had been raised as an option during the Member Forum discussions. @Cathy Richardson to follow up with the person who raised it.
