-  Module 4 Review – Mirko uploaded Module 4 and we reviewed it as a group and provided our feedback in the document page. Maria will upload her comments as an attachment to the presentation.
- Donor Project – Wassim will be the project leader. However, he and their team will be very busy until the end of February. Wassim shared with those of us on the phone about a press release that will be available after January 15th and indicated that their project will be looking for partners globally to participate in Join Ventures and Licencing arrangements globally. Please contact Wassim Merheby to discuss any potential business relationships involving organ, blood donation programs along with a healthy – lifestyle app that uses AI to promote healthier lifestyles.
- GBA Healthcare Specialist Certification – Gerard let everyone know that Mari Greenberger, Director of Informatics at HIMSS had emailed Gerard with several questions about the certification program and requirements. The questions should are very good and should be used as discussion items as we define the certification program. They have been posted on the Program Certification Page that we will transition into the certification program description.
- We have proposed moving this meeting to a twice per month meeting (2nd and 4th Saturday of each month). We will also have the Organ & Blood Donation Project Meeting on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month starting in March.
Next Steps
- Please log into the GBA site and review the HC WG Training-program Project Plan and update it with the modules that you would volunteer to lead or participate on the team.
- Use the folders to begin to collect the module description, learning objectives and possible content for your modules.
- Mirko will share login credentials with other members of the team in case he is not available to start the meeting and he will revise the information on the group page to accurately represent the new meeting schedule.
