Topics Discussed:

1.  Architecture – All other GBA Working Groups are using a three-tiered architecture.   The Working Group decided to follow the same architecture.  It is:
   1. Blockchain Foundations – Common to all Working Group and developed by the GBA Education Working Group.
   2. Blockchain [Healthcare] Specialist – This content is specifically relevant to the domain and is developed by the individual working Group.  This content is focussed on the practitioners and addresses use case specific content.  It is designed for the people that must architect, build and deploy systems.
   3. Blockchain [Healthcare] Executive  – This content is for the strategic and visionary thinker.  It focuses on identifying where we can go and provides students with the tools to implement transformational change.
2. Models and Content – We reviewed the Powerpoint Course Design developed by Mirko and all agreed that he was brilliant and decided to adopt the model and contents with the only exception of moving modules 1 and 2 into the second tier and remaining the tiers to be consistent with the other working groups. (Foundations / Blockchain Healthcare Specialist and Blockchain Healthcare Executive).  The presentation that we reviewed can be downloaded at this location:  www.gbaglobal.org/docs/healthcare-certification-ppt/?bp-attachment=Healthcare-Certification.pptx
3. Module Assignments – The following people volunteered to develop the learning objectives and possible content for each module:

   • Module 13: Business Challenges
   • Module 14: Cultural Challenges  (Susana)
4. Next Steps – Gerard will create subfolders for each module and the volunteers will identify the Learning Objectives and possible content for their respective modules.  We will ask Mirko to maintain the overall powerpoint with the learning objectives for each model as the high-level program architecture.  We will review everyone’s output next week.
5. Miscellaneous Notes:
   • Gerard mentioned that we are talking with HIMSS to see if they would like to collaborate on the Blockchain Healthcare Certification. We are just in early talks so there is nothing definite yet. Gerard will keep the working group posted.
   • Wassim noted that we need to correct the URL for Dhonor.  It should be www.dHonor.org, not “.io”
   • Wassim is going to ask another organization if they would like to join GBA and participate in our Working Group because they have already created a healthcare ecosystem and it would be a great benefit to all involved.
