BRIDG Update HL7 Working Group Meeting Phoenix, Arizona 20 January 2010 Biomedical Research Integrated Domain Group 2 Agenda BRIDG Overview Accomplishments Next Steps HL7 Harmonization Use of RIM-based Model 3 BRIDG Overview BRIDG Purpose: A collaborative effort to produce a shared view of the dynamic and static semantics that collectively define a shared domain-of-interest. Domain-of-interest/scope: Protocol-driven research and its associated regulatory artifacts, i.e. the data, organization, resources, rules, and processes involved in the formal assessment of the utility, impact, or other pharmacological, physiological, or psychological effects of a drug, procedure, process, or device on a human, animal, or other biologic subject or substance plus all associated regulatory artifacts required for or derived from this effort. Stakeholders: Process: Board of Directors prioritizes projects and committee consults with projects and harmonizes project models into main model with help of project analysts/SMEs 4 BRIDG Board of Directors 4 Appointed Members Charlie MeadNCI Dave Iberson-HurstCDISC Chuck JaffeHL7 Mitra RoccaFDA At Large MembersTerm Expiration Becky Kush2010 John Speakman*2010 Jack Jones2011 Cecil Lynch2012 AbdulMalik Shakir2012 * Chair 5 5 Semantic Coordination Committee NameAffiliation Charlie MeadNCI / Booz & Company Steve SandbergNCI / Mayo Clinic Smita HastakNCI / ScenPro, Inc.

The SCC point of contact will answer BRIDG questions, consult with team about progress, schedule BRIDG harmonization, bring project issues to the SCC, etc. Project team representatives will attend the harmonization meeting(s) with the SCC 15 Improvements Needed in SCC Process Need to involve SCC earlier in project process Need to accelerate coordination / harmonization process Other ideas welcome 15 16 Accomplishments Released BRIDG 3.0 October 2009 BoD Elections Harmonized CTR&R Balloted as CDISC Standard 17 Next Steps Ballot as a Standard HL7 May Ballot Cycle Notification of Intent to Ballot: February 28, 2010 Initial Content Deadline: March 7, 2010 Ballot Preview Period: March 14, 2010 March 27, 2010 Content and Reconciliation Deadline: March 21, 2010 Final Content Deadline: March 28, 2010 Example Deadline: April 14, 2010 Balloting Period: April 5, 2010 May 9, 2010 18 Next Steps (cont.)

It will act as a starting point for discussion on incorporating BRIDG requirements into existing HL7 models and vice versa where not already supported. 24 RCRIM DMIM Can the BRIDG RIM-based model be used as a DMIM? If so Existing structure will need to be reformatted All existing RCRIM message models will need to be harmonized with BRIDG 25 BRIDG Project Home Page SCC Contact Listserv BRIDG Users Listserv RCRIM: BRIDG as a DAM Listserv Contact Information 26 Q & A
