Presentation Summary: 

SIM Office Updates: o The QMRT Tool is live and functioning. Individuals may begin to enter data in the tool, although some final user interaction components are being finalized. o SPLIT Tool has been running well with significant percentages of practices completing the seven assessments.

state of telehealth in the state, the future vision, how it will function with integration efforts, and identifying gaps and solutions to fill them. All-Stars Characteristics Discussion: o The Workgroup discussed in some depth the concept of the HIT All-Stars. Highlights of the discussion include:  There remains a need to identify the characteristics of the cohort while ensuring we do not overlap or repeat other efforts such as that of the evaluation team.  What identifying characteristics will be used and how can we easily gather those objective details without burdening practices? What role will a nominating process have in determining an AllStar?  Ensure there is a clear sense of the role of the HIT All-Stars and how they will inform the larger HIT solution.  What are the All-Stars used for? How can we help practices make the jump to the next level technically? How can the All-Stars have an impact beyond the HIT realm while ensuring we do not have too broad a focus? HIT use cases for the data integration process and plan: o Carrie Paykoc presented on data integration process and plan and the slides and related documents are on Basecamp for members. o Goal for future next steps will be to determine use cases for the data integration effort and to define immediate integrated HIT strategies.  Use Case Development(MedeAnalytics statement of work summary):  MedeAnalytics has been contracted to interview subject matter experts regarding use cases and facilitate group sessions that may expand beyond the SIM HIT Workgroup.  Work must be completed by June, 30th  Will conduct meetings with stakeholders, identifying high-level use cases by stake holder group, and provider information that helps inform the overall long-term Quality Measure Reporting Tool Plus Central Data Hub (QMRT+) design
