Professional Associations that bring together competing entities, such as HL7, are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 activities, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).
Commenter indicated that the SNOMED on FHIR workgroup recommends replacement SNOMED-CT code 14747002 "Elective immunisation for international travel"
Commenter also reccommended adding a few other codes to this value set for "pre-exposure prophylaxis" and "post-exposure prophylaxis," and / or the parent "Administration of prophylactic treatment" of both of those
Disposition “Persuasive with Mod" approved; will only update the inactive code and not add the other codes (since this is just “example” binding – other values can be added in IG-specific profiles of the Immunization resource) – 32-0-0 (motion: Craig, second: Dragon)
Immunization.recorded was previously removed in R5 because there was some confusion about what it represented and not a clear use case (
FHIR-34301
-
Getting issue details...STATUS
)
FHIR-I had a recent ticket (
FHIR-39485
-
Getting issue details...STATUS
) about clarifying .recorded for the Event pattern, which is used for the Immunization resource
Even with this clarification, we haven't heard a clear need / use care for it for Immunization (i.e., outside the 80/20 rule)
There is low adoption of Event.recorded among other Event-based resources
Disposition "Not Persuasive” approved; will continue to omit Immunization.reason 31-0-2 (motion: Craig, second: Ravi)
FMG subsequently indicated the IG could not be published as-is and that further changes were needed (see details from Oct. 13th minutes)
Those changes have been now been made, and a publication re-approval request was presented on Dec. 15th, but Katie Tully from ONC had requested to delay the vote as they had a few additional comments forthcoming
POST-MEETING NOTE: publication was also previously re-approved already on Oct. 27th
project team has added proposed resolutions, and several of the comments are already addressed
ONC had not had an opportunity to review these proposed resolutions yet and requested the publication re-approval vote be delayed another week
Since these comments were submitted outside of the ballot process, it is acceptable to proceed with publication and address these comments in a future version
This IG is counting against the WG's PBS metrics as an idle ballot since it has not published in 2+ cycles since balloting
WG re-approved publication as-is without resolving these 4 tickets; will fully address them for a future version 29-0-2 (motion: Maria, second: Sarah)
