Topic | Report from Joint Meeting with Vocab | Report | Carol/Reuben | May 2020 - HL7 WGM - Wednesday 3pm Minutes The initial implement of canonical URIs (resolution 2 from the meeting with Vocab) is being demonstrated using NANDA at https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/UTG/branches/UP-64-correct-url-and-metadata-information-for-nanda/CodeSystem-nanda.html Review resolutions....do we need to "publish" these as HTA? Roel: would like the "HL7 Guidelines" for what really is a "canonical URL". Vocab does have draft guidance on that Proposed Vocabulary WG Policy on Creation of Canonical URLs for Code Systems in THO UTG = HL7 in this context, but policy is primarily focused on HL7-created URLs. Put a link in to Vocab from our policy pages rather than republish. HTA also needs to find a time to meet more with Vocab....currently Vocab is 3.30-5pm (EST) alt Thursdays; would prefer to hold a joint during HTA time....so maybe every 3rd HTA call, HTA will invite Vocab as long as there are agenda items. Reuben/Carol to confirm with Vocab. Likely first in schedule will be the end of June meeting. |
Topic | HTA External Terminologies Pages | In progress | Julie | "Need a value set for NDC-11" - need "an artefact" that can be used to reference the NDC-11 in FHIR implementations. There has had a long standing Zulip thread; FDA creates the NDC code system but it is implemented by the pharma manufacturers and re-labellers There are 3 different formats in 3 segments with dashes - NDC-9, NDC-10, NDC-11 etc. MPD suppliers (FDB, Multum) make their own normalised format (11 format). RxNorm also publishes the 11 digit format - but it may not be a full list. In UTG: https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/UTG/CodeSystem-v3-ndc.html - this is the FDA registered NDC code system - which does not represent the NDC-11 codes as used by the MPD providers. There is an OID for NDC treating it as a code system, but in many ways acts more like a GTIN There can be multiple identifiers for a single concept. NDC-9, NDC-11 could/can be treated as separate code systems. Policy question: Frank: in use they are referred to differently (but is this any different from 2 letter and 3 letter country codes?) Therefore - the implementation question for the value set moves to Vocab. Update on work done PHIN VADS - ? ISO 3166 (Roel) Utilization of ISO codes for Preferred Language: BCP 47 in USCDI FHIR IG eMail thread is hereThe current ask within BCP47 is

Topic | Co-chair handbook and FHIR Accelerator Information | In progress Not discussed | Julie | Response from the FHIR Accelerator was somewhat negative - FHIR Accelerators have too much to worry about already. Responded that we are hearing from Accelerators and also that our process will encourage direct contact; re-iterated the "one contact per Accelerator" as per SNOMED too. Awaiting further response Nothing yet from PIC re: the Co-Chair handbook. Not discussed |
