Update from FHIR Clinical Order Workflow call

  • Reviewed JIRA and ran into a scope challenge
  • JIRA FHIR-39619 raises questions about Task ownership, not only the attribute, but also workgroup.
  • Workgroup ownership to be addressed between now and September workgroup meeting.
  • JIRA to be progressed by COW/FOE project team.

Meeting Notes

  • V2.9 JIRA
    • This addressed JIRA v2-25518 where V2Mgmt agreed to adjust the name of RFR.2 and allow for both HL70001 and HL70828 to be used.
    • Various concerns were raised on:
      • the name change to still include administrative sex as the purpose is very much in context of the relevant sex for clinical use - how to interpret the result
      • the choice of tables still leaves ambiguity on the meaning as HL70001 allows for values that are not appropriate, while HL70828 is not widely used (yet)
      • the ordering provider may not include a specific value according to the soon to be included new segments to convey the sex for clinical use, so what should a PID-8 value be mapped to when OM2 / the lab used HL70828 for the reference ranges.
    • We cannot assume a transition will be immediate so that ordering provider and lab are all aligned on the same value set.
    • An alternative that was discussed with V2Mgmt is to add RFR.8 to better support a transition.
    • Other than concerns with the resolution, no clear alternative was provided.
    • V2Mgmt will meet July 7 where anybody is welcome to help resolve. 
  • See Craig's v2 micro question: https://confluence.hl7.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=161080303#id-20230518Main-Subject:"v2discretemicroquestion"-Listservemessage(fromCraig)
    • Considering whether to use a similar approach to susceptibilities and use OBX-30 Observation Sub-Type.
    • Attached is the sample Craig created for review: Micro Example
    • Will discuss next week.
