The ODH team will follow up with AMS

As part of the MDI VRDR ballot, ODH agreed to make some changes:

• Changes are currently only in Trifolia
• Usual Work Profile:
  • effectivePeriod is currently 1..1 but has been changed to 0..1
  • Additional slices added to valueCodeableConcept to added CDCCensus2018
    • CDCCensus2012 will not be added because NIOSH has indicated that by the time testing is likely to be completed, 2018 will be the used standard
    • Additional narrative description is added
  • interpretation has been excluded
  • Similar changes made for the usual industry component slice
  • CDCCensus2018 hasn't yet been published by PHINVADS yet
    • No firm date on when publication of the value set will happen (typically a couple of weeks)
    • Once it is published Grahame needs to recreate the vocabulary package so that it shows up
• PastOrPresentJob profile
  • Adding the same CDCCensus2018 slice
  • Fixed the cardinality on the value
  • Excluded .interpretation
• Ultimately, these changes will be migrated to the current build site and be available for WG review prior to a dot-release publication request
• Sarah will work with the ODH team to get the current build site updated
• Genny will send out a block vote to approve the Jira tickets that document these changes

The workgroup is familiar with the VCI smart health card FHIR IG

Bryant has heard in a WHO meeting that an organization (LACPASS) is working on implementing a similar approach

The uses a blockchain approach to host the certificate

This group mentioned a Projectathon with HL7 participation but they didn't seem to be using VCI

They described an IHE profile DVC-digital vaccination certificate (COVID domain)

It's unclear how this might align with VCI

The Pan-American Health Organization might know more

Diego Kaminker (HL7 Argentina and CSIO at HL7) and Grey Faulkenberry may be good people to check in with
