Item #	Work Group	Proposal Name	Partial Description	Proposal ID	Notes	Result	Vote
010000	MNM	Change ParameterItem.semanticsText to be a mandatory SC	Change ParameterItem.semanticsText to be a mandatory attribute and change its datatype to be SC.	JD-001	Simple, but needs two other pieces. First should it not be SC.NT (in keeping with other RIM SC attributes) and it needs a Concept Domain defined and assigned to it as the RIM terminology constrint. (Which makes this both a RIM and a VOC proposal.	result	^-v-?
010001	MNM	Actions on Deprecated Material	A detailed review of every RIM item and RIM or Data Types -vocabulary item that has been formally (or in a few cases, almost formally) DEPRECATED has been undertaken. We have agreed to take action on	MnM-DeprecatedActions	Complete - Annual Standing Item: Proposal to delete all RIM and Vocabulary items that were deprecated in 20087 and earlier, per policy adopted at November 2011 Harmonization. Involves removing 8 RIM Attributes and retiring 1 Concept Domain, 8 Code Systems (in their entirety), 2 coded concepts, and 2 value sets.	result	^-v-?
010002	MNM	Role Class Codes Require Removal	Updated: There are 6 Role Class codes appear to be out of place in the Role Class hierarchy. The codes are: CHILD, CRED, NURPRAC, NURS, PA, PHYS. Currently these are all siblings of ROL. Research into	AJK-01	Revision of Austin Kreisler's proposal. This is based on a careful review of how this arose. Recommendation is to RETIRE all six codes immediately. They appeared in mid-2008 by chance (see document) and have NEVER been a member of a Value Set.	result	^-v-?
010003	MNM	Role Class Ontological Clean-up	To undertake a clean-up of the concepts and their relationships in Role Class Ontological	MnM-Ont	From Nov 2011. Table (in yellow) should show "Changes to 6 Codes" rather than changes to one code system.	result	^-v-?

010005	MNM	Definition for NullFlavor	Provide a definition for NullFlavor concept domain and description for NullFlavor code system	MnM-CA201203-01	Complete. Provides missing definitions for NullFlavor Coencept Domain and Code System.	result	^-v-?
010006	NoCommittee	Event Location – Role Class Code	Request to add a value to HL7’s Role Class coding system. We need the ability to capture the role of a place where something, an event, happened. The proposed code will be known as EVLOC – event locat	2012.Vocab.DMW01	Almost complete - Structural Vocabulary - Please update and add the formal namie parameter for the RoleClass when it is used with this code. Please indicate sponsoring Work Group.	result	^-v-?
010007	ORDERS	RoleClass Contaminant (CNTM) is an Ingredient (INGR)	Add a concept and code to RoleClass named Contaminant with code CNTM and specializing Ingredient (INGR)	[1]	PLEASE RESUBMIT this Document. In its current form, it CAN NOT be edited in Microsoft word. Clicking anywhere below the header box, jumps to the bottom of the document	result	^-v-?
010008	PAFM	Add new ActRelationshipType	Need to a relationship type to indicate the association between two encounters.	PA-201203-01	INCOMPLETE. Missing value for property:isDocumentCharacteristic; missing formal names (see entriy prompts in the middle of your "Reccommendation"). Needs a Proposed ValueSet for which the definition is this new code and all of its specializations. Nominal value set name would be ActRelationshipLink.	result	^-v-?
010009	PATIENTCARE	CONC Concern class code move	Move the CONC Concern class code from its current location under OBS to be an immediate child of ACT. This is considered a technical correction, since it is believed that placement under OBS was count	2012.PC.RS01	Structural Vocabulary - primarily a move of a code within the ActClass hierarchy. Please re-post using the current Word Template that includes a section in which to tabulate the kinds of Vocabulary changes being requested.	result	^-v-?
010010	MNM	pauseQuantity and moodCode clarification	Alter and clarify the documentation of RIM class attribute ActRelationship.pauseQuantity, in relation to how it operates between source and target acts that have differing moods.

002000	MNM	Definition for ControlActReason	Update ControlActReason concept domain definition	MnM-CA201203-03	Complete. Revises definition of a Concept Domain	result	^-v-?
002001	VOCAB	Add property to Value Set and Code System	Add one property to both terminology model components: value set and code system to indicate the specified is in a “freezing state” that prevents further concepts be added to it.	HL7 VOC-201203-01	??? Doesn't the "isImmutable" property on Value Sets already do this? Why not just extend that to apply to Code Systems???	result	^-v-?
030000	INM	Definition for Sequencing concept domain	Update definition for Sequencing concept domain.	InM-CA201203-01	Complete. Update to the definition of a single Concept Domain	result	^-v-?

030002	ORDERS	New lab concept domain	Add concept domains to allow describing lab orders referred or redirected, as well as capturing reportable test destination.	OO-CA201203-01	Multiple componenets. Some questions. First, item (4) asks for a binding between a Concept Domain and a Value set, and I suspect these were to be the ones defined in steps 1 & 3, but the names in step 4 do nbot match EITHER of these!. Second, for step 5, how does a "LabResult" differ from any other Observation? What is it that distinguishes this from ObservationValue? And why is this specificity necessary?	result	^-v-?
040000	PHARM	Storage and Shelf Life Type Concept Domains	To add a new concept domain of "Shelf Life Type" as a child of MedicationObservationType, and to add a new concept domain of "Storage" Type as a child of act code	CPM-26	Mostly correct addition of two concept domains. The spaces should be removed from the proposed ConceptDomains (leaving as UpperCamelCase).	result	^-v-?
040001	PHARM	Combined Dose Form Concept Domain	To add a new concept domain "Combined Dose Form" as a child of "Dose Form"	CPM-21	Mostly correct addition of single concept domain. The spaces should be removed from the proposed ConceptDomains (leaving as UpperCamelCase).	result	^-v-?
040002	PHARM	Material Form Concept Domain Revision	To revise the description of the parent concept domain for Material Form to reflect the RIM attribute and thereby to remove the existing Vocabulary issue.	CPM-22	Complete p[roposal for MaterialForm. During review, I would recommend we ask for an update that addresses two items: (1) Should the Existing OpenIssue be removed as a result of this change? And (2) Please propose the retirment of the MaterialForm code system.	result	^-v-?
040003	PHARM	Container Form Concept Domain	To add a new concept domain "Container Form" as a child of "Material Form"	CPM-23	Mostly correct addition of single concept domain. The spaces should be removed from the proposed ConceptDomains (leaving as UpperCamelCase).	result	^-v-?

060000	SECURE	ActPrivacyPolicyType Technical Corrections	Technical correction to the ActPrivacyPolicyType vocabulary approved in November 2011 Harmonization to implement value set bindings.	Security Vocabulary Proposal 2	Uninterpretable. WHERE doe the tablular displays come from. They are NOT from the standard way of publishing in HL7 ballots today. They look like ancient vestiges from before May 2008. They are very difficult to interpret. because they conflate Concept Domains, Code Systems and Value sets. What does it mean that the committee want to review before we process. In that case, they will VERY likely miss the next ballot. Why is this called a Technical Correction? Were they added incorrectly in the first place?	result	^-v-?
060001	SECURE	ActSecurityPolicyType, ActObligationSecurityPolicyType, ActRefrainSecuityPolicyType	<<REQUIRED - Very short general description of the overall proposal. This should be sufficient for someone scanning a list of proposals to determine whether they are interested in this one. Example: “	Security Vocabulary Proposal 2	Uninterpretable.
