Procedure shouldn't be a subject

Lloyd McKenzie


    • Motion to accept block vote with 8 JIRAs 
      • Lorraine Constable / Elliot Silver : 10-0-2 
      • Marti will update votes on JIRA tickets after the call
    • FHIR-40292  - Discussed adding search parameters  
      • In addition to the requested change, add search parameters for the new elements
      • Motion to find persuasive with modification
        • Elliot Silver / JD Nolen : 12-0-1
        • Assigned to JD Nolen
  • WGM Follow-up R5 JIRA Tickets
    • FHIR-38971 - observation-precondition should be a modifier extension
      • Rob H. updated the ticket with comments from Clinician on FHIR/FHIR-I
    • FHIR-33389 -How to store parameters related to devices when executing a procedure? - see proposed disposition.  This was moved from a change on Procedure to a change on Observation.  Only text instructions on how to handle device settings.  All other changes were clarified on how to convey the requested information. 
      • Motion to accept disposition
        • Marti Velezis / Elliot Silver : 10 - 0 - 2
        • Discussion - what settings were on the device (e.g., during blood gas panels during lab draw) - there is nothing with this proposed disposition that would preclude it.  We can add more examples in the future; when is the device the subject of the observation vs. patient as the subject.  Elliot will add another JIRA ticket about this adjacent topic.
        • Assigned to: Jose Costa Teixeira
    • Add to outstanding R5 ticket below--did not discuss
      • FHIR-38986 - Why having an Instant data type for Observation.effective[x], when a DateTime is allowed as well?
      • Still need clarity on dateTime vs. Instant
      • Can we "Answer Question"?
    • Announcement: DeviceAssociation FHIR Resource Proposal was approved by the FMG on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.  This is in queue to be put into the CI Build.
  • New Resource Proposal
    • For Inventory - Catalog
      • Can the OO group entertain for the R5 build?
      • Pull the Inventory.item backbone into a Resource
      • Deadline passed, but we can still ask for it

---------------Adjourned the meeting at 2:05PM EDT----------------

  • Other R5 JIRA Tickets - needs disposition/review - next block??
    • DocumentReference
      • FHIR-38950 - Include boundaries and relationship information from Media resource
        • See comments - for proposed new text (from John Moehrke)
      • FHIR-38634 - Raise DocumentReference to FMM 4
        • See comments - wait for additional testing?
    • ObservationDefinition
      • FHIR-38953 - quantitativeDetails is not flexible enough, incomplete and overly complex
        • See comments - Partial proposed resolution
    • Observation
      • FHIR-38633 -Target Awareness Element or Extension
        • RE: Observation, Condition
      • FHIR-38924 - observation-replaces extension: expected behavior not clear
        • Needs disposition
      • FHIR-38955 A constraint expression is not specifically enough defined 
        • Needs disposition
      • FHIR-38956  Unclear statement
        • Needs disposition
    • Specimen
      • FHIR-38733 - Should Specimen.parent be changed to Specimen.children?
        • See comments - Partial proposed resolution
    • Device/DeviceDefinition/DeviceDispense
      • Any outstanding issues on Monday, January 30 will be added to the next block vote.
      • Continuing to address the groups of JIRA to make sure our changes are finalized for editor
  • R5 JIRA Tickets - Not owned by OO (but affects one or more OO Resources)
    • FHIR-38936 -Reference to Citation and Citation Lists from text
      • Requires further discussion in order suggest anything but extension
      • RE: DiagnosticReport
      • Owned by CDS
  • Backlog JIRA issues
    • FHIR-37964 = AOE implementation in ServiceRequest
      • Proposed Motion to convert ServiceRequest.supportingInfo
        • to backbone for supportingInfo similar to DiagnosticReport, but with type attribute as 0..1, example binding to V2 Observation type
        • reference to any
        • discussion: will need to update to newer version of IG will have to review the updates to the underlying standard and how that will work
        • separate attribute (to be able to match 1:1 to DataInputObservationDefinition in catalog) or supportingInfo - discussion from Friday's calls (2022-08-19 Order Logical Model Application to FHIR and 2022-08-19 Lab)
          1. Option 1: Use the same structure but add an invariant to restrict the reference to Observation if type equals AOE and make the same invariant for supportingInfo in DiagnosticReport with an alias for AOE
          2. Option 2: Make another structure that only for AOEs (InputObservationResponse) with an alias for AOE and also add a similar structure to DiagnosticReport
        • Zullip chat https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179256-Orders-and-Observation-WG/topic/AOEs.20in.20ServiceRequest.20and.20DiagnosticReport - so far no answers
        • Also to be included in the discussion - supportingInfo in DiagnosticReport FHIR-36858 - Provide a mechanism to reference "prior studies" WAITING FOR INPUT
        • Some examples of AOEs:
          • Examples Last Menstrual period
          • Urine volume and duration of collection, etc. when used in the calculation of results being reported
          • Specimen source
            • Often included as AOE in the panel (may be important to have the clinical information) – but that does not need to be represented in the data exchange paradigm
            • How does this work with CLIA requirements – might restructure LIS
            • We need to support regulatory behavior in the standard to support the regulatory requirements, but not define the regulation
        • Out of the 3 options listed:
          • Hans did not like to add a new element specific for AOEs
        • We can currently do this with existing structure, but we would like to have a better way to provide guidance how specifically handle AOEs
          • If we use observation as the reference from supportingInfo – then we can still have “free text” in observation.value, but do we need to make an invariant for this to allow only observation as reference – could potentially also have questionnaire and questionarieResponse
      • FHIR-19362 -  Incorrect reference direction Procedure -> DiagnosticReport
        • FROM OO on FHIR call on November 8, 2022 added the disposition "Persuasive with Modification"
          • OO will add .partOf to DiagnosticReport and DocumentReference, per the Event pattern. 
          • OO will ask Structured Documents WG to also add .partOf to Composition, per the Event pattern.
          • OO will ask Patient Care WG to consider removing the Procedure.report 0..*    Reference(DiagnosticReport | DocumentReference | Composition) in light of the changes to the referenced resources
        • FROM Main call December 1, 2022: 
          • If change is made to Diagnostic Report – the other changes (to resources not owned by OO) would need to be changed
          • The change would be better now while Resources are not normative
          • IGs are affected (e.g., US Core - and specifically US Core Lab results)
          • Procedure.report changes to 
        • Update from WORKFLOW call December2:
          • NEED TO ADD!!!!
