IEEE 11073 Nomenclature

• Paul provided slide set providing status updates regarding P11073-10101b "provisional" term groups
  • "provisional" term groups discussed (Group 1 --> 7)

Text from slide:

•  IEEE P11073-10101b "provisional" term groups 
      • Group 1: 750+ events and alerts covering devices used in the ICU, CCU, OR and ER as well as NMT, 
      rS02 and other parameters. 
      • Group2:  IHE PCD infusion pump observations, settings, and events and alerts and MEM-DMC 
      terms. Draft pump containment model has been completed by Brian Witkowski and 
      colleagues. 
      • Group3: Hemodialysis (numeric observations, settings, events and alerts, and containment 
      model) that support the Dialysis Machine Data Standard project. 
      • Group4, 5: Additional terms for Getinge/Maquet Ventilator and Anesthesia (observations, settings, 
      events and alerts, and containment model). 
      • Group6: Mapping for Dräger, Getinge and GE ventilator modes to ISO 19223 ventilator mode 
      nomenclature and syntax and to IEEE 11073 REFIDs and numeric codes. 
      • Group7: Terms required for the BPKP (Base Participant Key Purpose) vocabulary for the IEEE 
      PI 1073-10700 SDC ballot, plus other terms. 
      • Group8: New infusion pump terms — possibly more expected! 
          May add nine [mgPEJ UOM_MDC units for phenytoin sodium equivalents (no UOM_UCUM) 
          Plus several remaining GroupZ terms. 

IEEE P11073-10101b (text from slide above)

• • Systematic names for Partition 2 and Partition 3 terms
  • Last-minute vendor requests for individual terms
  • Additional IHE PCD infusion pump terms (13 new + enums)

Deferred

• • Additional terms for dialysis orders

What's next

• • Terms are already grouped by 10101R table identifiers
  • Paste Excel tables into MS-Word template
    • UOM_MDC and UOM_UCUM will be listed for individual terms in Annex A
      Enumeration Groups, Enum_Values and Enum_Descriptions as individual tables, expandable to support ASN.1 mnemonic(bit#) and OID identifiers as mappings sharing a common enumeration definition
  • Add body text and submit for IEEE MEC... then ballot!

Alpo Varri asked about the process for PHD terminology - Paul Schluter suggested that as we move forward the PHD WGs/Leads work directly with Michael Faughn (NIST).  For example Daidi should now work with Michael to get terms vetted and into RTMMS.

No Action items identified

PoCD WG organization, meetings & wrap-up (Kosta)

Kosta introduced Stefan Schlichting, Chair, who was able to join last part of meeting.

Stefan thanked everyone for work and progress and contributions... and looks forward to continuing & advancing the work.

11073 Stories/Pilots and Conformity and Regulatory track: IHE, ASCA, NIST/FDA, IMDRF (Kosta)

11073 Stories/Pilots and Conformity (Kosta, Stefan, Sajjad, Anil)

• Stefan Schlichting commented on a few issues:
    • Stefan is aware of the need to formally form a ballot group for IDCO
    • Stefan mentioned we've had really good progress on the Standards 
        ○ Includes work on IDCO, OR.Net, PHD, and Nomenclature
    • Ken mentioned, the need for Stefan to file a PAR extension for 10101
    • Stefan will provide a link (post meeting) 
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfOVgzf4RskM
• Steven Dain mentioned work on emergency response / ICU / critical care
    • NETCCN
    • Military funded - use cases (e.g., ventilator controlled in Toronto from MDPnP lab in Massachusetts
    • Focus on 10101 and 10201 (DIM - containment model)…
    • https://www.tatrc.org/netccn/index.html
• Malcolm Clark
    • 10206 - Description of data an content of messages
    • One of the activities (a bit off-track) - what was found in PHD 10601 - using Bluetooth SIG (industrial Consortium, there are three levels) and BLE protocol (encouraged  to provide the complete content and adopt -10101 nomenclature - which could then map directly in to FHIR and PCD-01
    • Hope is this will be adopted by small device makers (typically proprietary, thus each has to be integrated one by one)
    • Current version .7 "Generic Health Sensor" so might be some report out in future… currently being review by WG/SIG, and once reviewed by architecture board then be sent to the adopter groups (see early versions of specs and provide comments).  Noted that any work prior to V1 is confidential…
        ○ Perhaps when it gets to version .9 - report out in Sept WG meetings
        ○ End of year hoping to have Specification nearly finalized (at least trajectory presently)…

PoCD WG organization, meetings & wrap-up;    Logistics next WG meeting

• Next HL7 Meeting / Plenary Sept 17 - Sept 23, 2022
• Potential to have in parallel PHD session…
• Hope is in person meeting but continuing to provide Hybrid capabilities…
• Joint WG meeting at FDA (which was postponed…) update
  •     Kosta mentioned FDA is pointing to a more public meeting
        • Work items for workshop likely would come from WGs, including PoCD, PHD, and other
        • Likely will be a virtual 1/2 day meeting…
        • Kosta mentioned FDA will reach out to individuals 
        • Kosta framed this as a "joint workgroup workshop" not from FDA
        • Goal is to further discussion of how WG coordinate, evaluate the usage of standards
             FDA could have liaison from the regulatory side…
        • FDA is considering conformity efforts 
            ASCA is an example
                § https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/standards-and-conformity-assessment-program/accreditation-scheme-conformity-assessment-asca

• HL7 Poll (per Request from HL7 Board, by Karen Van Hentenryck, Assoc. Executive Director)

We’re already in the process of planning the in-person September Working Group Meeting (WMG) in Baltimore. To plan appropriately, we need to understand how many in our community will be attending this in-person event.

We recently attempted to gather this information via a SurveyMonkey survey but did not receive an adequate number of responses. We are therefore asking co-chairs to conduct an informal poll of their WG during the WGM. Your poll can be conducted any day you wish, but ideally it should be done during a quarter in which you have good attendance. You will need to ask 3 simple questions:

1. 1. How many of you will attend the in-person September WGM?
   2. How many of you will NOT attend the in-person September WGM?
   3. How many of you are uncertain of your plans?

• ACTION: John J. Garguilo  Completed Tuesday + Wednesday Co-Chairs: please record the results at the following Confluence page:  https://confluence.hl7.org/display/WGB/Co-Chair+Survey+on+Sept+WGM+Attendance : Garguilo posted 13 DEV participants polled, 8 will attend in person, 3 will not, 2 uncertain

    • The final WG Health and PBS Metrics reports have been released for the 2022 May cycle: 2022 May Final Reports
    • New WG Health Metric:

      • A new metric has been added to Work Group Health measuring the number stale issues your WG has in JIRA across product families. Since this is new, it is purely informational at this time, but eventually anything in the red zone will result in an increment on your work group health. This metric will be recalculated before each report is released.

DoF Updates

• PHD Status update/report out (Martin Rosner + Javier Espina + Brian Reinhold)
  • 2022-04-25 HCP (Related Mtg Minutes recorded by OO - Marti Velezis)
• "Communicating Device" - has been discussed
• John Rhoads mentioned to keep active with Jira items to provide feedback to Healthcare Products Meetings OO - for both DEV calls
• Recognized Marti Velezis work with DEV
• Kosta noted that Marti is part of the FDA "data standards committee" - working for FDA (consultant) on standards concern.

Javier summarized the following notes from Healthcare Products Meeting with O&O held on 4/25/2022:

• Need to finalize discussion with Javier that:
• Remove Container from both Device and DeviceDefinition relation type
• Gateway remains applicable to both Device and DeviceDefinition
• Previous and Replace are only applicable to DeviceDefinition, not Device
• Connected is currently either covered by Gateway or parent, while any other connections is currently not of interest, but can be addressed when needed as the value set on both Device and DeviceDefinition remains extensible.
• Marti will create one for the backbone and one for the value set for Device and DeviceDefinition
• FHIR-36830 - Update Value set for relationType RESOLVED - CHANGE REQUIRED - See JIRA for vote.
• FHIR-36828 - Change Device.link to Device.gateway RESOLVED - CHANGE REQUIRED - See JIRA for vote
• FHIR-36195 - Revise operationalStatus to operation APPLIED JD to update build with changes previously voted.

• PHD FHIR IG - Current Status ... '22 roadmap including final publication & support for PROs, GHS, etc.
  • Martin is on the Agenda of the TSC, DEV has done everything can do to this point…
  • Roadmap:  Need to see what falls out of O&O and assess if a new version of PHD Guide
  • ACOM - and related to GHS (Gateway) mapping to same resources (i.e., technical parts will not change, but when it comes to attributes - GHS doesn't use attributes in the same manner
  • Martin noted Q1/Q2 of 2023 of IG likely would include the decisions from OO
  • Malcolm Clarke asked about 20601 - simplified attributes approach
• (Martin Rosner) Roadmap: Not looking at Sept NIB, more likely looking at January NIB

PoCD FHIR IG:  Current & next PSS's (John Rhoads, Stefan Karl, others)

Device Alerting (John Rhoads)

https://confluence.hl7.org/display/DOF/Draft+DeviceAlert+element+definitions+mockup

• John Rhoads walked through the link above… described the "Named" Device Alert items including identifier, status, code, priority, type, subject, Conditions, device, derivedFrom, alarmLabel
• Michael Faughn asked about those items with "code" - which is assumed to be tied to a value set, but in some cases of the DeviceAlert don't have the value set…
• Suggested by Michael to provide the value sets, Paul Schluter mentioned there is ample precedence in IHE Alert work…
• John Rhoads mentioned this work is in the hands of the OO not value set folks
• If folks are interested in additional use cases, outside of record an alert, there is much to be considered…

Discussion (potential items) from Tuesday's and leading to Friday's (Q1) Joint O&O Meeting (John Rhoads, Others)

• Device Concepts
• HCP (Device/DeviceDefinition) JIRA 

Discussion (potential items) before Friday's Joint FHIR-I Meeting in Q1 (Chris Courville, Others)

  • Advanced Search functionality
  • Mike asked attendees to "kick the tires on the system" and is open to UI and functionality suggestions of RTMMS
  • Check Terms - way to upload terms to check (from a CSV file)
  • Working on a user guide… much to be done here…
• Michael Faughn provide an update on what RTMMS looks like now and plans going forward…
• RTMMS (new version) is up and running on NIST server - not yet available for public consumption
• Other updates
• Paul Schluter, mentioned for the PHD (e.g., Daidi) the "check in" feature would be good ensure correct formatting and proceed in a unified way (including a provisional term)
• Malcolm Clarke agreed that standard cannot be published until vetted through RTMMS

 Report Out from IHE-DEV proceedings (from Spring F2F WG meetings week of Apr 26-28, 2022) (John Rhoads, Paul Schluter, Others)

• • Held in at BD in San Diego; included a Pump WG (26 Apr 2022) , PCIM WG (26 Apr 2022, 27 Apr 2022)  set of sessions
  • CPs discussed + other business
  • PCD, PHD, DPI Programs
  • John Rhoads reported good work and progress on the following Integration Profiles (using HL7 V2):
    • IHE-DEV Pump Work and Change Proposals involving flushing the pump lines
    • (Patient Care Identity Management) IHE-DEV - PCIM work has been advanced - group is striving to getting documentation in place to meet requirements for upcoming IHE Connectathon (next is September 2022, after that likely January 2023)
  • Paul Schluter provided a few slides on work from IHE-DEV (PCD Program) reported and discussed and IHE-PCD face to face:

Paul wrote an HL7 V2 validator - could be used in supplement with the NIST V2 tools, or perhaps provide requirements into advancing the NIST tools.

Use IHE Patient ID (PDQ) for prescription transfer and treatment 'run sheet'

O&O Q1 (DEV at OO) report out from Q1 Thursday (John Rhoads)

• A lot of other topics including:
  • Mentioned Monday 3 pm (Eastern Time) Healthcare products.
• Device Usage and maintaining a supply chain for maintaining a catalog for devices
• John asked about perspective on the Device Resource…
• JIRA tickets were stepped through (a bit outside the scope)… not much time to address DEV items, mote to come in weekly Monday (9AM) and Wednesday (9 AM) meetings - Kudos to Marti Velezis for all the support she has been giving DEV as a liaison to O&O.

Nomenclature - RTM status update (Paul Schluter)

• • See Paul Schluter's Slide set here

Malcolm suggested that perhaps there is an MDC--> UCUM  "indisputable" table/listing (regardless of language, e.g., French vs. English)…

Paul responded that there are a very small amount of items like {unitless} 1

• Paul noted a problem with the font size (IEEE-SA Publishing) and layout is a problem for enumerations

Meeting Session w/  Physical Activity Alliance and the American Heart Association jump into the HL7 FHIR standards development world

• Laurie Whitsel (Laurie.Whitsel@heart.org) and Maria Isler (Maria.Isler@heart.org) are the project sponsors. 
  At May WGM they met with certain relevant work groups to talk about their project proposal for an IG defining standards for physical activity measurement and enhancement. 
• Russell Buchanan (russell.buchanan@accenture.com) will be supporting them at the WGM.  Devices is one of the work groups that seems to have overlap/interest.  
• Laurie, Maria, and Russ provided an ~20 minute overview/presentation of work and proposal

• Specifically, the project is looking at being able to capture measures related to physical activity level.  This may well involve leveraging real-time device information such as step counts or heart rate monitor information.

• Currently looking for sponsors, co-sponsors and interested parties, so please think about if/how the HC Devices work group might like to be involved. 

Also reaching out to PC, FM, OO, MH, CIC, and the Gravity project

Welcome and Daily Agenda Review (Cooper)

ANSI Anti-Trust Policy: 

Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM). 

OO Report Out from Joint Meeting with DEV in Q1 (Rhoads, Others) 

DEV at O&O (see also O&O Meeting Minutes)

• From OO Agenda for Friday Q1

  • Suggestion was to, as we move forward, have a dedicated quarter at O&O with DEV

  • Little to no time in Q1 to discuss Alert...

From O&O Friday, May 13, Q2: Agenda/Meeting Minutes

• • Device
    • Device Scope/Usage and Boundary and Relationships
      • FHIR-32408 - DeviceMetric resource listed as device related resource, but the Device resource does not reference it
        • That’s because it is an option to refer to from observation
        • Is part of a stack of resources used in the POCD IG
          • Top level device
          • Medical device
          • Channels
          • DeviceMetric is on an observation
        • General guidance is to point from child to parent because if a resource already exists, we don’t want to go to it to update a relationship – should add this explanation to the scope
        • Should we add a search parameter that returns DeviceMetric from device – that would be a separate ticket - @Rob
        • Motion to update the device resource Scope and Boundary section to include stating the relationship with DeviceMetric
          • John Roads, Jose Costa Teixera, no further discussion, against: 0, abstain: 1, in favor: 12
          • Clarification
          • Non-substantive
          • Update as part of https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32277
          • Assign to Marti Velezis
  • Suggested and agreed by Hans to arrange the workshop session between OO and DEV
  • JIRAs to do with Device and DeviceDefinition discussed - not directly related to DEV WG or work...
    • John Rhoads asked: how DeviceMetric worked in response to a JIRA asking why Device doesn’t mention DeviceMetric
    • Attendees agreed that the relationship works as it should (pointers going down the containment tree, but no pointers going up), but it should be explained in the Device core resource page (which OO voted to do, as the owners of the Device resource).
  • Many thanks to Marti Velezis  for her efforts for working with DEV on the weekly Wednesday meetings - DEV certainly appreciates these efforts to move our work forward!!
