Meeting Minutes

Arden Syntax Ballot proposal for September 2021 (Robert Jenders)

Arden Syntax has 2 active projects:

  • Big Picture Implementation Guide - CDS standards ecosystem, stalled due to resource constraints, reached the end of timeline
  • Arden Syntax v3 (current 2.10)
    • Main feature is introduction of standard model, mainly focused on FHIR
  • Because Arden v3 is still in active timeline, intention is to close the Big Picture Implementation Guide in favor of focusing on completing v3
  • Submitting Arden v3 for STU Ballot in the September Cycle
  • Goal is to bring final version for draft to the July 28th CDS WG for review/approval
  • Ultimately will require a new version of the Arden IG as well, will create a PSS for this, sometime in 2022 for ballot/publication
  • Difficult to describe the entire ecosystem in a single IG (Big Picture IG)

New Project Proposal: International Patient Access: PSS-1803 - International Patient Access In Review

  • Intent is to provide a companion project to International Patient Summary that support API access for the data elements described in IPS
  • Intent is to support a US Core style project for the universal realm
  • Current candidate work https://build.fhir.org/ig/grahamegrieve/ipa-candidate/index.html
  • Commented on the project proposal, CDS and CQI would like to be interested parties

Supplemental Data Elements discussion

  • When reporting supplemental data elements
    • at the individual element level, they are reported as FHIR Resources (or Observations if the result type is primitive)
    • at the population level, they are reported as stratifiers
    • should provide an extension to indicate whether a given supplemental data element is appropriate for stratification
    • by default, supplemental data elements reported at the population level should only be reported on the initial population


Action Items
