Introductions: (See attendance list)

Topic: Framework of Frameworks - Registries

What are each group working on.

Vanguard - Marti Velezis Venous Access Device registry

  • Unique Device Identification Elements (UDI)
  • Anatomic Placement location and procedure details for devices
  • patient Outcomes of use of access device
  • Vanguard FHIR Implementation Guide
  • Use Case - Collect structured Data in IP Clinical Workflow for venous access devices insertion.
  • Future use case: salvage of device, outpatient setting
  • Update: rely heavily on HL7 resources which are changing. So they are going to delay.
  • Todo: Update CIC project page.

CREDS - Clinical Registry Extraction and Data Submission (CREDS) IG

mCODE - Mark Kramer  - Minimal Common Oncology Data Elements

  • Covers demographics, functional status, genomics, diagnosis, procedures, medications, key outcomes.
  • ~100 data elements supported by oncologists and other SMEs
  • Started a FHIR accelerator - radiotherapy IGs and other specialty areas
  • Example: Cancer Registry Reporting in association with CDC (MedMorph is more general and deals with exchange mechanics. complimentary)
  • Current status: ballot in May for second STU version - handful of issues remaining. will move forward to publication after retraction of negative votes.
  • Genomics is still in the works.
  • Quite a few implementors already. There are dependencies which are not normative yet so cannot publish a normative specification.
  • Close collaboration with CDC and other standards to improve conformance (Location + Location qualifier for anatomic location in Body Structure Resource)

MedMorph - Maria Michaels Making EHR Data More Available for Research and Public Health

  • Use cases:
    • Research Data Exchange: use by PCORnet research network to extract data.
    • Electronic Case Reporting for Public Health Surveilance
  • Close to publication of reference implementation guide
  • General solution to moving EHR data to research and public health
  • Knowledge Artifact Repository - could house CDS algorithms or Clinical Quality Measure Definitions.
  • Over laps with FHIR Clinical Guidelines IG
  • Trusted Third Party - leverage TEFCA
    • Health Information Exchange - with EMPI
  • What about other data sources? Intend on expand to other data sources (PGHD, PRO, Devices)
  • AbdulMalik Shakir asked how the raw data is converted to common data models. MedMorph Central Cancer Registry Reporting Content IG.
    • need well developed data definitions.

Codex - Common Oncology Data Elements eXtensions

  • Birds of a Feather was done yesterday
  • no other report today on this topic

Vulcan -

  • No report today...

Discussion:

  • Versioning of Implementation Guides - requires backwards compatibility. May be necessary for vendor uptake.
  • Goal of CIC to find commonalities across initiatives and coordinate efforts.
  • Overlapping architectual diagrams. (align Vanguard, MedMorph, Vulcan)
  • Discussion should continue during 4th Thursday CIC call - focus on meta framework. - Change the 4th Thursday to not a report out of projects to a working meeting to harmonize the common grounds of the registries.  Have committment for Med Morph, Vanguard, mCode, Codex, need to reach out to VULCAN (invite BR&R?), and CREDS.
