TSMG Standing Subcommittee Updates


 HL7 Terminology / Unified Terminology Governance (THO/UTG)As neededJB/RM/CC
  • Terminology expectations for IG developers
    • Terminology Expectations for IG Developers (Simplified)
    • JB and RM have attempted to simply the policy. Group reviewed the policy discussion summarized below
      • Policy applies to any HL7 Implementation Guide
      • Input from FMG and TSC has been included, CMG has not commented. Policy should be applicable across product lines.
        • For this to work, everything in THO will need to have an OID to support CDA
      • Open Action Items:
        • Validate that the first few steps are the same as those in Validating and Requesting Identifiers for External Code Systems and Identifier Systems
        • Review Reuben Daniels drafted list of the consolidated Tooling requirements for IG Publisher and duplicate URI handing that call
        • Update from CMG
          • Was added to their agenda last Wednesday
        • If recommendation is that this should be a JIRA-based process then there would need to be a ticket-type of TSMG added.  Review of these tickets would then be a standing agenda item on the TSMG main calls (this one)
    • 20221031 Next steps:
      • Look into "library IG" term
      • CM and RM to look into inclusion of terminology artifacts being hosted in terminology servers like VSAC.
  HL7 Terminology / Unified Terminology Governance (THO/UTG)10RD/JB
  • Next release of THO expected this coming weekend.
  • Workflow for THO releases (moving content approved in ballot to THO AND how to handle missed THO deadline)
    • Requires discussion - priority item to resolve
    • This is a key component of the IG Developer tutorial
    • This item is blocked without the expectations for IG developers policy being developed.
  • Versioning policy for UTG/THO
    • Finished proposal for HL7 Code System elements
    • There are a few higher level considerations before moving over to Value Sets
    • Progressing to finish HL7 Value Sets and moving to External Identifier System Metadata Records
  • Many CodeSystems use terminology.hl7.org urls when they should be hl7.org/fhir FHIR-37440 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • UTG/THO subcommittee working through differences across elements for duplicates to determine what is consequential 
    • Need a follow-up with Grahame Grieve. Will invite him to this week's THO/UTG Subcommittee call.
Outreach10DG
  • OHDSI Symposium follow-up
    • OMOP + FHIR track: high attendance
    • Upcoming proposal for Vocab WG re: OMOP Vocab / External Terminologies
      • FMG / FHIR - I proposal in the wings
    • SSSOM workshop to be repeated virtually
  • Vulcan FHIR-to-OMOP project
    • New participants: SMILE Digital Health
  • Proposal: developing a core UCUM Value Set (Upcoming)
      • CMG / V2 / OHDSI communities expressing interest
      • FHIR / CMG value sets not currently aligned
HL7 Terminology Authority (HTA)

    • ICHOM folks came to HTA call this week, provided guidance on use of external terminologies vs local content development
    • American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) erroneously was imported at the time THO was first populated with an incorrect URL (which is the correct URL for WHO's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC). HTA agreed to delete the existing ATCC record as it was 1) included in the code system records that were retired due to no exiting work group or management group claiming use and 2) it was completely wrong from it's existence
    • UICC TNM was approved to be added with the 8th edition information (OID and URI)

    • Bryn will bring back this update if RM is not available
Deprecation

  • Deprecation Policy and Implementation
    • Tabs created
    • Deprecation Policy Framework
    • Issue logged to render identifier.period: https://github.com/HL7/fhir-ig-publisher/issues/455
      • Lloyd disagrees with rendering identifier.period. Would rather hold deprecated identifiers in naming systems but enhance tooling to link code systems to their identifier systems based on url
    • RD:  this is the intended purpose for the CodeSystem / ValueSet can be linked to corresponding naming system established by the code system: url value is equivalent to the preferred url in the name - so they should
    • RD:  is Lloyd going to provide a link to the naming system?
      • JB: need to establish this as policy before he should go do this
    • RD:  will discuss this with Grahame to understand what his position is
    • 20221031: This item may be removed as all open actions are resolved.
Parking Lot
