20180523 | Financial Management | FHIR Implementation Guide for Coverage Requirements Discovery FYI: US Realm Specific | 1428 | Da Vinci Project OO votes affirmative, while supporting the comments made in FMG that: • The timeline for normative ballots may be too aggressive in light of underlying resources’ normative trajectory. • Not specific to this PSS, but any FHIR based IG – More clarity needs to be provided on FMM levels and which FMM level is considered an STU vs. Draft vs. something inbetween. Based on progress, the target STU publication may not be quite at an STU level, but the PSS template does not accommodate FMM levels that would be more realistic. Something to bring up in general with the TSC. | Approved | Approved Christol Green | No Response | Approved Paul Knapp | Approved Brad Genereaux | Approved Hans Buitendijk | Approved Line Saele | |

20180913 | OO | IHE Digital Pathology Workflow Metadata Requirements (e.g. DICOM) to Specimen DAM mapping and HL7 product family use | The EHR WG co-chairs vote AFFIRMATIVE on the “IHE Digital Pathology Workflow Metadata Requirements (e.g. DICOM) to Specimen DAM mapping and HL7 product family use” PSS, but request that the authors of the PSS offer clarifications in response to the follow question: Why does the PSS state that the Specimen DAM will map ONLY to v2 and not FHIR or CCDA? DAMs are supposed to be implementation neutral, correct? After reading this PSS, it seems that the authors desire to enhance/standardize the workflow involved in helping someone look at something quite small (namely, an image of what appears on a laboratory slide). The existing method (for this workflow) takes advantage of the fact that the thing (the slide or image) contains some well-developed clinical language that appears in existing HL7 V2 messages. Isn’t it true that the PSS authors’ goal is to normalize/standardize the workflow requests by examining the existing V2 messages? Is so, then they hope to ensure that the DAM fully accommodates all of the required message-elements. Therefore, the end-product of their PSS project will be an updated DAM – and it will NOT be an updated message-transport-definition (that is, a better V2 message, V3 message, CDA-message, or FHIR-message), correct? Response: (Riki) John, I will add some explanatory text: We limited this particular PSS to: #1 updating the DAM and #2 v2 constructs, becasue that is what we plan on using in the IHE profile or Digital Pathology For this project we did not also want to add in time to update FHIR resources or CDA, however becasue we updated the DAM that should ost certainly be used when updated to those product lines are needed for related use cases. Let me now, if this addresses the comment and I will ensure that the PSS is updated before bringing to TSC. | Approved / 9/21/2018 | Approved Christol Green | Approved w/ comment John Ritter | Approved Kathleen Connor | Approved Elliot Silver | Approved Patrick Loyd | Approved Line Andreassen Sæle | ||

20181211 | Financial Management | Targeted industry survey regarding US coverage requirements discovery for Durable Medical Equipment. | The HL7 FM is engaged in efforts with multiple industry stakeholders in supporting the development of standards-based electronic health data exchange services to determine coverage and documentation requirements in the US. To better understand readiness in the field to implement this approach and its future feasibility for ordering durable medical equipment (DME), we are gathering input from EHR vendors and other industry partners on these efforts. The PSS is located at: (Color legend for the PSS is: Yellow are those boxes we completed, green needs to be completed)

20181224 | Imaging Integration | FHIRcast: Application Context Synchronization in FHIR | PSS is located at: https://confluence.hl7.org/display/ASD/20181224+eVote This project proposes the creation of a decentralized, web-based context synchronization specification. This specification will enable secure integration across different devices, systems, and/or, networks – not tie the user’s session to a single machine. This specification will natively enable synchronization of SMART on FHIR apps. Project scope is not limited to imaging integration. |
