TopicURLs for External Code Systems
  • Final Review of Initial Request Letter
    • Everyone to do their review of this 
  • Draft Collaborative Follow-up - Davera - draft to review 20200121 please
  • Draft Follow-up letter templates 

Have reviewed Wayne's comment; we agree but would like more information from HQ about their criteria for needing an SOU.

From Andrea: Is reality such that rather than asking a code system provider to produce a URL first, we could change our suggested process such that we offer "here is the URL" approach more like in the follow up letter.  We do want to avoid upsetting code system providers by pushing too far.

We need to discuss this further at the F2F - balance of "getting the job done" against "deskilling the community (even more)".

Topic Code system statement for specifications

See updated policy at General policy on the use of external code systems in HL7 standards

To do: Close out the code system statement and send to FMG

Julie James Contacted Grahame and FMG, HTA to provide draft text to include in IG publishing process

TopicISO Codes  - update

STILL OPEN: Other ISO standards to check:
ISO 11073 Nomenclature for Personal Medical Device Communication - Julie has had a response from Melvin Reynolds - https://rtmms.nist.gov/rtmms/index.htm 

JMJ - to put the response from Melvin on the HTA External Code Systems section DONE

FHIR also uses the IANA Time Zones https://www.iana.org/time-zones

Davera will look up more information about BCP-47 (a document authored by the IETF trust) for language codes in the US Core FHIR IG.  Davera will check if this is actually a "nested reference" and is actually a syntax using ISO codes

TopicVocab Facilitator Engagement

How to get vocab facilitators engaged and how to get project teams to engage with their vocab facilitator - work on with the Vocab WG

Slot at Co-Chair Dinner requested; no response yet received,  May need to chase.  SNOMED Content Requests need to be in by March 15 - remind folk of this.  Co-chair dinner slot has been confirmed, as has TSC meeting (Mon Q5)

TopicUTG Engagement; Update from Vocab

How will UTG engage to bridge the gap, especially as the IG publisher and UTG become more integrated (still a way off) 

A lot of focus on building the UTG and getting it working
