Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities 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 meetings and conferences, 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)

New tracker discussion:

FHIR-33080 (Cooper Thompson) - per

Discussion:

• • Brett, In 3.1.1 and 4.0.0, it is "period.end".
    In 5.0.1 and 6.0.0 it is "use=old and period.end if known"
  • Cooper: Either the US Core IG Profile “StructureDefinition-us-core-patient” element “name.period” or “name.use” is required for testing and certification in the ONC Certification Program to meet the USCDI requirement to support the “Patient Demographics” Data Class: “Previous Name” Data Element.
  • Eric: I notice that address.period is MS is this aligned with our guidance as a USCDI requirement?
  • Cooper: https://web.archive.org/web/20210918052857/https://www.healthit.gov/test-method/standardized-api-patient-and-population-services

Eric will update resolution based on the discussion for review next week - to fi in version 6 and to create patch for 3.1.1, 4.1.1, and 5.0.1

Questionnaire/QuestionnaireResponse - discussion about adding back QuestionnaireResponse. For further discussion.

Cooper Thompson: I think the psychometric instrument analysts might run into missed expectations regardless of whether instrument data is represented as a QuestionnaireResponse or Observation.
