NHSN Inpatient Medication Administration Reports (FHIR IG) - Sarah Gaunt
-
- Review ballot comments - discuss and vote: 5 issues
- Reviews all 5 tracker items - Motion by Sarah G and Seconded by Tim M, to accept all resolutions for the 5 items passed by a vote of 7-0-2
- - not reviewed
Discussion of MedicationKnowledge and possible issues for CDS
- proposed changes for MedicationKnowledge
- ongoing discussion/concern about the scope of MedKnowledge and MedicinalProductDefinition
- Jean completed an analysis
- there are some attributes in MedKnowledge that are not part of the definition, but there are attributes that overlap
- cost isn't definitional
- guidelines may not be definitional
- proposal was to pull out content that are definitional and are in MedicinalProductDefinition
- improve the link to the definition
- Knowledge would provide jurisdictional specific information about the drug
- Is the modelling different in the definition
- in many cases, it is structured differently because there is more information in the definition - more detail
- in almost all cases, MedicationKnowledge is a subset of the information that is in MedicinalProductDefinition
- do we need to put guidance in our resource about
- will have to explain as part of scope where there may be duplicate information
- Is there ever a circumstance where you would have a code (e.g. hospital specific code) but also need to reference MedicinalProductDefinition
- need to discuss this
- Comments from Bryn
- need to know ingredients and relative strengths of ingredients
- in MedicationKnowledge - was straight forward and clear
- in MedicinalProductDefinition - can't answer the same questions
- can see ingredients, but don't know the relative strengths
- have to look inside the ingredients to find strengths
- can answer the question, but need to consider that ingredient is specific to a product
- there are some ballot comments - may be changes that make this harder to determine
- can see ingredients, but don't know the relative strengths
- problem with the proposal - what was easy before, is now harder to find
- at least one level of indirection
- names are not the same
- 3 level of hierarchy to look for ingredients and then dig information out
- disservice to those that have been well served by the existing MedicationKnowledge
- Options
- could include a backbone of the definitional items
- reference to definition and/or attributes that were previously included
- there could be push back - could just contain the definitional items - need to justify this
- maybe clearly defining the scope would be a better option - scope and boundaries
- could include a backbone of the definitional items
- Next steps
- reach out to Francois about use by Catalog Project - Jean to reach out
- take to FMG and describe the problem
- hearing from implementers that the approach adds complexity
- can we include definitional information?
- need to push back to BR&R on the level of complexity - Bryn to submit trackers
- Is there another project that is using MedKnowledge?
- Input - have a proposed solution - Jean to create a new build
- duplication of definitional information - apply to a local build - Jean to apply
- Rxnorm is a good use case! look at international models that are not regulatory
- reach out to Patrick Werner - project in Chile - Melva to reach out on Zulip - done
- - outstanding action items
- leave until new information
- - no discussions
- - Jean
- overlap between MedicationKnowledge and MedicinalProductDefinition
- proposal to remove the "definitional" elements from MedicationKnowledge
- new MedicationKnowledge
- not in the current build yet
- adds .definitional backbone element for those (fewer) elements to retain in MedicationKnowledge
- simplified .ingredient
- .amount is still strange. Needed in Canada. may become a Canadian extention.
- Jean will check with BR&R and then move the new MedicationKnowledge into the current build
