IHE PCC Call for Proposals! - Submit by Nov. 11th to be discussed at Fall Face to Face

In my inbox this am ...

---

Greetings IHE Community and Industry Partners,

Today we would like to remind everyone of PCC's adoption of the continuous profile proposal and work cycle as well as put forth a Call for Proposals for the ongoing Face to Face meeting. Proposals will be due by the start of the Fall Face to Face meeting on November 11th, 2019. 

Interested parties are invited to submit a brief proposal for new IHE Profiles and/or White Papers to be considered for development by the PCC committee. If you are an interested party and would like to begin work on a profile with PCC within the next few months, please complete your proposal and work with the co-chairs (pcc@ihe.net) to set up a time this week to discuss your proposal during the committee's Face to Face meeting.

If you are unable to submit a proposal in time to be included at the Face to Face, you may also present your proposal during one of the bi-weekly PCC committee teleconference calls. To do this, please submit a brief proposal to this PCC Planning committee and discuss with the PCC co-chairs to be added to the agenda for one of these calls.

IHE International's New Membership Model Effective October 1, 2015

Effective October 1, 2015, IHE International is moving to a new fee-based membership. To ensure your organization can participate and advocate their proposal throughout the entire Planning and Development Cycle please read the information provided at the end of this email.  Contact membership@ihe.net to renew today. 

All Proposals must follow the structure and format of the attached Brief IHE Proposal Template, specifically addressing the following:

1.       What is the problem you propose to solve by this proposal, and how is that problem expressed in practice (e.g., a use case)?

2.       How would fixing this problem improve health care in practice?

3.       What specific components of standards could be used to solve this problem?

4.       Your proposal should identify one or more potential editor(s) in the event that the proposal is selected for further evaluation and possible development. Please include some indication of the business and/or clinical case surrounding the situation when describing the problem. For example, is there an economic motivation for addressing this problem immediately?

5.       Watch the online webinar to learn more about submitting a proposal and the proposal process.

Committee	Domain Email
PCC Committee	pcc@ihe.net

2.       Committee's Proposal Review

All Proposal authors are required to present a 15 min. summary of their Brief Proposal at a committee meeting (Face to Face, or teleconference). Please anticipate participating on committee teleconferences and at Face to Face meetings during the development of your proposed work item. Face to Face meetings are held on a (roughly) quarterly basis; refer to the ITI, PCC, & QRPH Meeting wiki for more information on upcoming dates and future meetings. PCC Committee calls are held bi-weekly and invites for these meetings can be found on the PCC Committee's Google groups.

3.       Committee's Proposal Acceptance and Work Cycle

After the proposal has been presented to the committee, a summary of the work item will be posted to the PCC Planning and Technical Google Groups. At the subsequent meeting of the committee in which quorum can be obtained (either teleconference or Face to Face) the committee will hold a vote on the proposed work item. If the vote passes, the proposed work item will be accepted to begin and the committee will work with the work item's owners to schedule time on the bi-weekly calls, or determine an appropriate time for a dedicated call if necessary.

Help Promote IHE Call for Proposals

All IHE members and industry partners are invited to share this announcement with their committee mailing lists and other interested parties. Additional information is maintained on the IHE Wiki.

If you have any questions about the PCC Profile Proposal process you may reach out to the PCC co-chairs at pcc@ihe.net.

Thank you, and we look forward to your proposals!
