Meeting Notes from previous meeting

Radiation Therapy Discussion

  • Patient Care would like Pharmacy to join one of our FHIR conference calls (Thursdays at 5pm Eastern) to revive our prior discussions about radiation therapy.  We’re pushing to get Procedure normative and really need to start making some decisions about whether this needs a new resource, changes to Procedure/ServiceRequest, or Medication/MedRequest/MedAdmin.
  • Can you let me know a date when Pharmacy can join us for this discussion?
  • https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/implementers/topic/Radiation.20therapy

    • need someone with radiation therapy knowledge to represent pharmacy - how to present contrast, dyes and other administrated products
