US Medication Implementation Guide

  •  http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=457
  • STU expired 
  • Balloted new release in September 2020, but ballot reconciliation is on hold pending funding from ONC to complete
  • PBS metrics are impacted - PBS metrics are yellow on the May report - means that if we have new projects coming forward, the TSC may not allow them to proceed without cleaning up the metrics first!
  • Do we request an extension?
  • What do we do about the idle ballot from September 2020?
  •  
    • STU has expired. 
    • ONC wants it extended, but no funding for the idle ballot resolution.  
    • just the mapping for PDMP
    • one more chance for ONC/Brett M: either respond by next week's call or it will be dropped
    • question: what if someone wants to re-ballot after expiration
    • (Carmen joined)
    • she has same question: how to restart about expiration. 
    • seems like will be a new project, picking up from where it left off
    • Motion: withdraw FHIR IG MED PDMP R1D1 2020SEP  John Hatem/Margaret Weiker (12-0-1) passes
  •  
    • proceed as planned unless we otherwise via Wayne Kubick

HL7 V3: Medication; Knowledge-based Query, Release 1

  • approaching ANSI expiration - 2022-04-03 - need to either re-affirm or withdraw
  •  
    • should we reaffirm or withdraw
    • recent tendency is to reconfirm, but implication is that comments will be addressed, and there are no resources to do that update
    • better is to withdraw.  will remain as retired standard, just not ANSI normative
    • Motion: Withdraw Jean D/John Hatem (11-0-2)  passes   Will be a withdrawal ballot next cycle
  •  who will follow up for withdrawal ballot

LHS Care Plan DAM

  • LHS Care Plan DAM -
  • Update and action items from HL7 Learning Health Systems (LHS) patient centered 4-27-21 care team call about Care Plan Domain Analysis Model (DAM) – Consent Roles
  • ACTION ITEM: Identify the role of pharmacist and pharmacy staff (e.g., technician and administrative) for role-based access to clinical data.
    • What are their roles as part of the care team?
    • Which pharmacy actors will require a patient consent for clinical information or subset of that data for direct query into a system outside the pharmacy’s system if the pharmacist or pharmacy staff does not have consent access to that outside EHR system?
  • Scope: Scenarios should focus on highly specific and concise use cases that can quickly highlight whether a gap currently exists in the relevant DAMs. The collection of scenarios should provide a clear understanding of the modeling requirements for each respective DAM in order to support the scope of purpose of patient-centric, cross-functional, cross-disciplinary, and cross-organizational care teams.
  •  Using the MCC Care Plan use case as a model, identify the consent roles for pharmacists and pharmacy staff.
    • Betsy Johnson is a 65-year-old retired teacher with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs), which include CKD, type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic pain, and clinical depression.
    •  A number of branching scenarios covering different aspects of information (e.g., care plan contents) privacy, confidentiality and security control requirements will be defined in this document. These branching scenarios will inform the refinement of the published Patient Centered Care Team logical model attributes and terminology value sets:
  • ACTION ITEM: LHS ask is for Pharmacy WG to create scenario 5 – Pharmacy simple use case for the consent roles of the pharmacists and pharmacy staff.
    •  Example Scenario 3 - Referral to podiatrist 
    • Betsy presents at her PCP clinic for routine health checks by her regular primary care physician. Upon examination of Betsy’s feet, her PCP discovered her both feet sensation, temperature peripheral perfusion is reduced around the lateral fifth to third metatarsal head. The dorsalis pedis pulse is reduced in size on both feet. Skin integrity of both feet remains intact. Patient agrees to a referral to see a podiatrist, but requests that her anxiety/clinical depression information be masked from viewing by the podiatrist. 
  • NOTES FROM 4-27-21 Call Scenario 5 - Pharmacy (simple use case for CDK patient why the pharmacist will need clinical information from another system)
    • Clinical roles
    • Patient prescribed a new medication that has renal function implications
      • Pharmacists need renal information from another system
    • Financial/administrative roles
    • Referrals from payers
  • ACTION ITEM: Have use case added to google document by May 11 LHS call
  •  - asked Shelly to create a draft of the scenario and share to the pharmacy List
    • Need to draft the role of the pharmacist and pharmacy staff
  •  - draft scenario

    • Betsy Johnson is a 65-year-old retired teacher with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs), which include CKD, type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic pain, and clinical depression.

      Betsy’s PCP notices that her clinical depression is not under control.  Betsy completes a genomic sequencing and then she is referred to a pharmacist for a pharmacogenomic recommendations to assure the right antidepressant is identified based on Betsy’s genomic tests.  Betsy consents for the lab to send the results of the genomic test to the pharmacist and for the PCP to refer her data to the pharmacist to review antidepressant medication,  The pharmacist will make a recommendation for antidepressant therapy based on Betsy’s genomic makeup and to review the other medications Betsy is taking for potential medication therapy problems or drug/disease interactions.

    • use case relative to consent
    • not discussed on last LHS call
    • note that the focus on the pharmacist, not the pharmacy
    • all pharmacists on a team would need to have the same access (not multiple pharmacist roles)
    • minor wordsmithing
    • Shelly will be post to their google doc.  John and Shelly will attend call
  •  - no updates

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.
