Subcommittee on Standards.
    Time and Date:

    Purpose: The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the current 
status of implementation of various HIPAA-related standards, code 
sets, identifiers, and operating rules and identify and discuss ways 
to address any existing issues. The meetings will discuss whether 
there is a need to update any of the standards and operating rules 
to improve opportunities for uptake. The meetings will also provide 
an opportunity to discuss the status of industry planning for 
implementation of the next set of adopted operating rules. In 
addition, the Subcommittee will review industry status of 
preparation for adoption of ICD-10, with a focus on payment 
transition processes, the SNOMED-ICD-10 project and other mapping/
cross-walking and preparatory/planning issues, as well as new areas 
of relationships between ICD-10 and other code sets, including the 
next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental 
Disorders, 5th edition. Finally, the Subcommittee will discuss new 
uses of ICD-10 data by different stakeholders, including 
relationships to new payment models, big data/data analytics, 
population management, public health activities, research, quality 
measurement and improvement.

    The Subcommittee is interested in learning about industry 
innovations underway in health information technology and standards 
as the convergence between clinical and administrative information 
exchanges occurs, and industry moves from a claim-centric, 
transaction-based administrative information infrastructure to a 
quality-oriented and outcomes-based reporting and information 
exchange.
