E-Signature Update

Discussed:


  • Check back in June for progress


Vocabulary

Discussed:

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 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.

Discussion this week:

  • The following value set should be used: http://build.fhir.org/valueset-device-safety.html - This binding was done in FHIR
  • Code system is pointing to NCBI Thesaurus
  • Used in DEV-14
  • Add to the HCP Call
  • Craig Newman: https://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem-v2-tables.html already references the FHIR value set for device safety
    • Need to determine if this is matching in Table 2C - make sure Michael Faughan is aware of this issue – he is working on syncing Chapter 2C content
    • and determine if it gets updated in the next release
    • For V2 we will use what is in the FHIR value set
    • Will need to figure out how to properly document the fact that the value set is drawn from 2 code systems 
  • Next THO deadline is June 4, 2023
  • Create a JIRA for v2
  • Leaving UP-44 open for now – so that the new tickets and this one can be linked

Add GTIN - v2 - to HL70301 and HL70203

Discussed:

Add "GTIN", "serialized GTIN" and other UDI Types 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 (would be default barcode on tubes, slides, tags etc.) 

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

V2-25519 - Getting issue details... STATUS  

Discussion today:

  • New jira is to track which agencies need to be considered
  • Also use in EI – for the serial number of the device ID
  • GS1 has other application identifiers – https://www.gs1.org/standards/barcodes/application-identifiers GTIN is only one of them, so may have to review these and then we could use the GD1 data matrix format for many different identifiers
    • 10, 11 17 and 21 already have other parts in the UDI carrier

JIRA StatusJIRA IDDiscussion/Disposition

JIRA Issue Backlog

  • ServiceRequest.asNeeded[x] and ServiceRequest.reason
    • Follow-up on Zulip discussion

    • Updated the Proposed disposition
    • Add to the Thursday April 20, 2023 OO Main teleconference
    • 4/27 NOTES:
      • we need Rx input – Marti sent email, got some input on the jira, but not sufficient, so needs follow up

Total FHIR = 268 Tickets in Submitted, Triaged, Waiting For Input

  • FHIRCore = 228
  • FHIRCast=1
  • FHIRPath=11
  • FHIR IGs = 28
  • Should the extension https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-extensions/StructureDefinition-observation-bodyPosition.html be removed?
    • 4/27 NOTES:
    • Side-bar: There are also several extensions on other resources, for example for nutrition that we are not sure where the extensions came from
    • Related Jira referenced in comments = FHIR-29273
      • This jira mentions these artifacts
        • Blood Pressure Panel
        • Body Length
        • Body Weight
        • Head Occipital-Frontal Circumference by Tape Measure
      •  came from Rita Pyle
    • A component is different from a qualifier
      • It is not in the definition for component, but mentioned in text in 10.1.5.3.2: we say “or may provide qualifying information to observation.code”
        • Can we find out how this text got added? – It is in R4, but not R3, so maybe we can find it
      • Is the bodyposition an observation that is part of the bloodpressure measurement procedure?
        • Diastolic pressure
        • Systolic pressure
        • Body position – this would have to apply to both of those measurement
      • The old jira came from Rita Pyle – let’s ask her to supply the list of qualifiers that are modeled differently – add comment to this Jira tagging her
      • Add Overall comment? We see a difference between qualifiers and components of an observation – let’s do some more research first

NOT DISCUSSED

  • Add the ability to reference QuestionnaireResponse from DiagnosticReport
  • Pulled from Block for further Discussion by Dan Rutz 
    • Needs "a better evaluation of real examples of which workflow, procedures, and data structure truly invoke a DiagnosticReport which involves an embedded QuestionnaireResponse as part of the .result element.  It may be valid, but needs to be well-substantiated."

NOT DISCUSSED

  • At-home Test - Deferred tickets that have been reopened.
  • This group is not meeting – how or when do these tickets get resolved?
  • Grouping the tickets with Observation.category changes
Catalog JIRAs
  • Reopened FHIR-28354 and added proposed disposition
  • Continuing to update the JIRA tickets and review the spreadsheet to determine if all of the changes applied
  • 4/27 Notes:
    • See above under Catalog ballot recon - will be worked on on tomorrow's catalog call
Other - Nutrition DAM
  • All have been applied and published since last week

  • 115 IG related
JIRAS to be marked Published

NOT DISCUSSED

Note - these are in the published R5 on http://hl7.org/fhir/


  • 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


Modules - Updates on progress

Discussed:

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

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
  • Add Resource reorg comments to module pages

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
