ANSI Anti-Trust Policy:  Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).

Reviewed V2-25419 - just to make sure why it was found persuasive.

Motion to approve Block Vote with all 3 tickets

• Rob Hausam/ Hans Buitendijk: 8-0-0

• The e-signature draft was submitted to the PAC.  I did get a request from Christopher at Quest to quote a paragraph and am following up with PAC on when we are locked in enough to do so.

UP-44 -no value set content defined for v2 table 963 value set 

• We had discussed and taken a vote on this back on 2022-06-10, but I'm not sure at this point if that is still what we actually still will want to do.  If we discuss it again together hopefully we can decide if that is what we want or we can figure out a good alternative plan.

Add "GTIN" to UniveralIDType (http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0301) to be able to specify that a Universal ID is of "GTIN" Universal ID Type.

This would help to apply to HD Data, EI Data, EIP Data, etc. the Universal ID Type "GTIN", examples are:

HD based Data (HD-2 (Universal ID) is of "GTIN" Universal ID Type:

• MSH-3 (Sending Application), 
• MSH-5 (Receiving Application), 

EI based Data (EI-3 (Universal ID) is of "GTIN" Universal ID Type:

• SAC-3 (Container Identifier), 
• SAC-4 (Primary (Parent) Container Identifier)
• PRT-10 (Device ID)
• PRT-16 (UDI Device Identifier)

EIP based Data (EIP-1-3 and EIP-2-3 (Universal ID) is of "GTIN" Universal ID Type:

• SPM-2 (Specimen ID), 
• SPM-3 (Specimen Parent IDs), etc.
  • Both of these are related to the work GS1 is currently discussing to maybe create a "serialized" GTIN for all containers which would be a worldwide unique code (woudl be default barcode on tubes, slides, tags etc) 

CX datatype uses HL70203 for example in PID-3 (not applicable), but maybe in OBX-5.

• JIRA Backlog Cleanup -

• • Plan of attack to cleanup stale JIRAs.
  • Need to triage the older tickets to see if they are still relevant/valid (any volunteers???)
    • We may just want to create block votes for any tickets that are no longer relevant/valid
  • We have been getting 6-12 tickets per meeting if we have prepared the tickets in advance
  • We will continue to work through the backlog

The following are draft pages to organize and author content for each of our health care product resources: 

• BiologicallyDerivedProduct
• Devices
• Nutrition Product

OO Resource Coverage

• Need to discuss developmental roadmap for each of the OO resources for R6
• Added R6 planning to WGM agenda
• Need to discuss what needs to be done prior to WGM to prep for discussions

Notes

• Marti revised related resource for each topic area to where the resources align to current modules
• Definitional resources were in workflow (pattern is still there) but those are now in administrative – Marti and Jose to take off-line
