FHIR JIRAs (link to below)

  • Updated status 
  • Pulled Block Vote JIRAs from May/June 2023

Update on FHIR Tracker related to Family/Household attributes

  • here to not forget / be able to provide updates, was not further discussed today
  • Created matrix - see: 2023-07-18 OO on FHIR and 2023-07-25 OO on FHIR
  • discussion is generating additional Jira tickets
  • Had a lot of discussion on 2023-07-25 OO on FHIR
    • A family can be a recipient of care, but also a provider of care
    • Do we want to repurpose Group for receiving care and CareTeam for providing care, GG doesn’t like it, per zulip thread
    • If they are both providers and receivers of care, then all the attributes would be duplicated
    • In a family parents can give care, but infants would not providing care – but can receive care
    • CareTeam covers Group, so could cover that aspect
    • FHIR-I owns Group and PC owns CareTeam – but this on a WGM agenda for the joint with PC Wed Q1
    • Left note on zulip to join the OO call on August 8 and offered the WGM Wed Q1 (Next week)
    • Send email notes about this plan to Co-Chairs of affected WGs: PC, FHIR-I, Learning Health Systems

JIRA Issue Backlog
  • 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
  • Total FHIR = 265Tickets in Submitted, Triaged, Waiting For Input

    • FHIRCore = 232
    • FHIRCast=1
    • FHIRPath=11
    • FHIR IGs = 14


  • 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
  • Need to determine where to have this discussion – at least to propose dispositions for a block
  • Discussed at WGM – need to determine outstanding JIRAs

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

OO Resource Coverage

  • Add Resource reorg comments to module pages

Notes

  • Marti revised related resource for each topic area to where the resources align to current modules
