OO Project Proposal Triage

  • None for today

Today's Topics

  • USCDI Comments
    • were submitted
  • ISA Comments
    • CPT-PLA were submitted
    • if any others would need to get on the agenda ASAP
  • FHIR R6
    • Will have 2-3 for comment ballots before normative starts
    • Use priority list (https://confluence.hl7.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=161078076#id-2023050812WGM-R6Planning) to determine focus and then the dashboards to tackle.
    • See if we can focus on getting block votes together on open jiras – in special calls prep, then vote on main
    • Implementer survey on where we want feedback on for normative resources
      • Need to pull this together ASAP
    • Regardless if a resource is marked as normative, implementers expect ALL R6 content be normative
    • Basically the privilege of not following the normative rules will go away with R6
    • So we will need to time box and focus on major topics and patterns.
  • WGM Recap
    • Meeting Highlights
      • Families JIRAOO Families/Household/Workplace/Event JIRAs page has been updated with Patient Care resources;
        • Scope changed to include workplace and events
        • For some actor roles group makes sense, not for others
        • FHIR-I is setting up a taskforce to make this consistent
          • OO indicated that our analysis of OO owned resources be considered by tis group
          • This group should include reps from all WGs that have affected resources
          • TSC may review this once the work is completed
        • need to pull from notes prior to sharing this with the Task Force that will be pulled together to discuss this across FHIR Resources
      • See Information Modeling from CG - re: MolecularState Resource (along with Sequence)
      • Backport Extension - January 2024 ballot
      • Gender Harmony Cross Paradigm IG publication request went to TSC, some planning around future maintenance
      • Reviewing the minutes by quarter
        • 9.1 comments related to use of OBX will be discussed in V2 Management – Fridays 11 AM – will coordinate with submitter and V2 Management co-chair on the date for this meeting
      • GC introduced new resource alongside sequence called molecularState
      • Did some FHIR ticket prep work – these will be in a block vote for next OO main call – Marti will review these to find candidates
      • Jan WGM is 4 days - there is discussion on being on UTG+5
  • Panel Discussion Update
    • Goal is to have just one option
      • Currently there are 2 options:
        • Option A = observation.code has panel code and all members are in the observation.hasMember
        • Option B = Panel code in DiagnosticReport.code
      • Both options support reflex testing
      • In option B you are losing the option to use composition for overall report structure = represented form and overall report status
      • Should DiagnosticReport be a specialization of composition to resolve this, so that you could use the composition
      • You would need to have separate compositions for each DiagnosticReport and that should be different from the
    • Will continue on this topic tomorrow on the lab call
    • Jose will revive the zulip thread of specialization on observation = parameterized resources
  • COW call:
    • can we find a new call time, so Jose can join?
    • BPM+ could join at current COW call time
  • Characteristics Project - Next week

JIRA Issue Triage
  • 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 = 262Tickets in Submitted, Triaged, Waiting For Input (not ready to be applied)

Observation.category
  • 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
JIRAS to be marked Published

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



Modules - Updates on progress

Discussed:
  • Yes
  • No

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

  • BiologicallyDerivedProduct
  • Devices
    • some work by devices WG
    • do we need to differentiate lab devices (pre/post- analytical devices from analytical devices in the lab)?
    • Need to decide to what level of detail this page should go, or if we need this then how to document some of this content = may not belong here, but rather on the device related resource pages
  • Nutrition Product
  • VisionPrescription

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
