What about with TSC? The TSC does not meet during virtual WG.  Reuben Daniels will be presenting at the TSC meeting on 5/17.

UMLS - Appropriate to represent as a code system?

HTA reviewed and agrees that the UMLS is package of code systems maintained independently. Similar to the NCI Metathesaurus, it is not considered a independent code system.

Carmela has offered to improve upon the current document process for external stakeholder engagement to procure CS identifiers.

The draft is located here: Validating and Requesting Identifiers for External Code Systems and Identifier Systems

HTA members and observers are asked to review the drafted text, directly edit where changes are needed and use the comment functionality to ask additional questions. We will review again (and hopefully approve on the next HTA call, which will be at the WGM).
