          • FHIR-39112 - Observation.component.value[x] should allow Reference as data type
            • Some use cases added in comments 
            • Do we have enough to move this forward 
            • Related to another ticket – already allowing on observation.value
            • Motion to accept persuasive Lorraine Constable / Yanick Gaudet : 13-0-0
          • FHIR-39113 - relatedArtifact Extension should be allowed on Observation.component
            • Some use cases added in comments 
            • Do we have enough to move this forward 
            • Discussion: this should be handled through DiagnosticReport and the new "supportingInfo" element for this information (eg., citations).  Adding it to Observation.component creates another way to provide this information
            • Non-persuasive at this time; unless there is a use case that is not satisfied by the suggestion to use DiagnosticReport.supportingInfo.
            • Note: the addition of Reference (FHIR-
            • Revisit at 2/9 Main call 
          • FHIR-38971 - observation-precondition should be a modifier extension
            • It was determined that a modifier is not applicable to this extension
            • Robert Hausam can you update this ticket with the explanation from FHIR-I/Clinicians on FHIR discussion?  
            • Will add to Block 2/9 if we get Rob to update the ticket by COB
          • FHIR-38924 -observation-replaces extension: expected behavior not clear
            • Disposition proposed – 
            • Motion to find not persuasive with Mod - Ralf Herzog / Yanick Gaudet : 13-0-0
          • FHIR-38976 - gatewayDevice extension (extension-observation-gatewaydevice.html) description missing
            • Weren't we supposed to remove this extension now that Device has an element to specify the gateway? See: http://build.fhir.org/device-definitions.html#Device.gateway
            • Remove the extension as it is now a circular reference with the addition Device.gateway
            • Added to the Block 2/9 - Proposed as Not Persuavive with modification

---------------Adjourned at 2:00PM ET---------

Move these tickets to calls on 2/3  

        • CR/Examples: 
        • Technical Corrections:
          • FHIR-38956 - Unclear statement
          • FHIR-38955 - A constraint expression is not specifically enough defined
            • Disposition proposed - in "waiting for input"  - should this go into the Feb9 Block Vote?
      • Observation Definition

        • FHIR-38953 - quantitativeDetails is not flexible enough, incomplete and overly complex

          • See comments with proposed disposition - we don't have response from commenter

  • 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
          • Waiting on example codes from John Moehrke (remove/unlink per request - see comments from OO call on 2/2/2023) Daniel Rutz 
        • 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

  1. Please either clarify or remove me from an assignment on this page that I don't understand, was never assigned, and have no expertise in the topic. I presume there is a different John that you intended to get these results from.

    1. John Moehrke I removed the reference to your name for the topic of "supportingInfo in DiagnosticReport" - it was introduced a while ago. But we continue to copy over that outstanding set of JIRAs.
