Stephen chairs and opens the meeting. The minutes of last WGM are accepted (no comments came in).
First item: Stephen puts a motion to appoint two interim co-chairs for PCWG in order to carry out part of the work. This will be accompanied with asking Ian Townend and Klaus Veil about how they see their position.
William has announced that he might step down.

10 in favor.
Due to absence of Klaus Veil, Ian Townend, Hugh Leslie, and Kevin Coonan, and the preparations to step down of William, PC faces that again there is insufficient leadership and decides to appoint 2 interim co-chairs and to prepare for their elections in May 2013.
Michael Tan volunteers as co-chair ad interim and will take up concern as topic.

Congratulations to Michael from the whole team.
Other individuals are asked to express interest.
Stephen moves that we accept the minutes of last meeting.
William makes an exception for one Quarter that still needs to be added. Given that, the remainder of the minutes are moved for approval.
Motion William to accept the minutes Jon seconding.

Question from tooling: how will patient care handle versioning of templates? This is a work item of templates, structured docs and PC. Kai Heitmann is representing the PC position in this, based on implementation work in care record messages in the Netherlands.
The agenda is talked through and the work plan is clear.
For May meeting, it can be more or less a copy from this, since both Allergy and Assessment scales need to reballot.

Joint with FIHR
Topic to be discussed: “Problem”
Ballot Reconciliation is currently taking place and Ewout Kramer presents the FHIR ballot results on this.
Ewout Kramer is presenting the FHIR problem model, and goes through several ballot comments.
Those parts for PC are addressed only this quarter. Workgroup members comments and Resolutions voted on include:
- Change the description: it is circular
- Change the cardinality of Supporting information to 0..*
- Change Location to 0..*
- Add a 0..1 reference from Problem to Encounter, where the link means "encounter during which the problem was first asserted"
- Add a 0..1 attribute "asserter" which references the provider/agent/patient
- Rename dateFound to dateAsserted, because this date is relative to the asserter.
- Add a 1..1 attribute "subject" which references the patient
- We do not expect the search to calculate the onset date from the onset age and let this turn up in the search results when search on date.
- We do not add treating provider nor applicable treatments to Problem. This should be handled through concern tracking, care planning and provision, which are resources yet to be defined.
- If a stage assessment is applicable, this is indeed done using an agreed upon assessment scale, however it is unclear whether the commenter meant this. Since the AssessmentScale resource does not yet exist, we will defer this discussion and accept Any for now.
Add to ballot sheet:
- Age is questionable, you might well need a range of Age or even (in practice) a text like "in their teens". => new ballot comment.
- Todo: discuss the applicability of assessing stages
He uses the Excel spreadsheet for the ballot reconciliation.
Diagrams will become proper UML models.
Williams moves to accept the comments, Rick Smithies seconds.

Onset. Can be data or age. Can system translate this to date? Do we need it, there are valid use cases. Can we do it this way, or are we mixing age and date up. The latter is not disputed.
Will be split up into date and age.

(1) PC agrees with the proposal that the Patient Administration Work Group will take the lead in developing the Encounter Resource for the FHIR project. Patient care to nominate leadership and representative persons to work with PA and FHIR on development of Encounter resource. The nominees will need to participate in the Encounter resource development conference calls (weekly) and provide inputs/comments where necessary. Who this will be, will be discussed later this week.
(2) Patient care will take primary responsibility in development of allergy/intolerance/adverse reaction and care plan resources and submit them to FHIR for balloting. These resources will be developed following completion of the DAM ballot for both topics.

• On the agenda of Q1 is reviewing the ballot outcome of Assessment Scales.
• Technically we have an overall positive result on the votes. We have a quorum and there were 28 positive votes. The threshold for a positive result is 24 votes.
• Question: which assessment scales are selected for the ballot? William explains that the ballot explains how an assessment scale is modeled and the scores mentioned are examples.
• Propriety scores are often now allowed to be published.
• Elaine would prefer to explain the difference between assessment and screening. The name of the topic will be changed to assessment/screening tools. Add some screening tools ( from malnutrition) to illustrate the possibility of this topic.
• William has no objection to add new examples of scales.
• To add a new scale you need an ID for the scale ( LOINC, SNOMED), not for the terminology used in the scale.
• The system logic is not part of the explanation of the ballot.
• The scales /screening are used in the clinical statement box, ( for example) with an organizer with various assessment scales.
• Five examples from mental care will be sent and added. Action Steve Daviss
• Second comment from Daniel is to reference LOINC appropriately. Action Susan Matney .
• Storyboards and diagrams are missing. The storyboard are placed elsewhere in the Care Provision material. We will link to these storyboard. Action Michael Tan
• The RMIM is using R1 and should use datatypes R2. Action Jean Duteau. • Virginia comments that HMD information is missing. We do not know what Virginia Lorenzi means. Action William Goossen.
• Question on the cardinality of author and patient. The cardinality is currently set to zero to many. The cardinality should always be a minimum of 1 to many for subject and author. The model should be adjusted. Action Jean Duteau.
• Kevin is complaining on the German text. They are not typo’s but umlauts. They will be corrected. Action Michael Tan
• According to Kevin the use of ICD 10 in assessment scales is not clear. ICD 10 will be removed. Action Michael Tan
• Kevin suggests that only universal models should be mentioned in the ballot and that the German examples should only be mentioned in the German realm. We will keep International examples. Action Michael Tan
• Kevin objects to name Clinical Statement Pattern. It should be changed into Clinical Statement. Action Michael Tan
• Classcode with a capital letters should be changed to lower case. Action Michael Tan
• Wrong use of Derivationcode. Derivation expression the means to arrive at the total score. This text has to be changed. Action Michael Tan. • Duplicates will be removed. Action Michael Tan.
• The Class, Mood where there is a match with observationEvent should be explained more better. Action Kevin Coonan.
• The RMIM is screwed up according to Kevin. We do not understand why. This comment is regarded as not persuasive.
Motion from Susan Matney to accept all the comments on the 5 spreadsheets of the ballot review. Second from Elaine. 0 against, 0 abstain, 9 in favor.
The changes to be made are not substantive, (only editing). We can regard the ballot as accepted.

FHIM Model Discussion
Looked at the FHIM Care Plan Model.
Looked at the HL7 Care Plan Initiative Model
• Suggestion made to compare/contrast to contsys ---
• Kevin’s contribution/model is more tied to V3 and the care provision model.
• Discussion re: the linkages of the proposed action, implemented action to the goal.
• Need to add a line to link the health goal with the proposed intervention (proposed action).
• Need to address the issue of nesting plans of care…Think CABG surgery… a plan of care could have many plans of care…..
• Need to look at the role of the steward to the brown care plan box as well as the red plan of care box.
• Need to add the little line from the brown care plan box back to the brown care plan box.
FHIR
• Moved Stephen: the Care Plan project team to identify 5 or 6 care plan classes for working with the FHIR core team to develop very high level FHIR care plan resources, which will be reviewed by this project team before submitting for FHIR ballot (time line: by June 2013). FHIR liaison person for PCWG is David Hay
Seconded by Laura.
o Discussion: some concern this would affect the CCS project proposal- but determined this would be a good way to get some feedback on the model.
Jon and Enrique volunteered to work with FHIR cor team to develop the identified care plan resources.
o Vote: no objections, 3 abstentions, 5 approvals. Motion carries.
Glossary items
Role: Caregiver – is it defined? Does it include Medical Home etc ?
Steward
Next:
FHIM: need to do the analysis of what that model would contribute to the HL7 model and make recommendations.
And vice versa – need to also make recommendations to the FHIM what should be incorporated into this Care Plan Model
HealthConcern - Goal - Plan Action (proposed and implemented)
• The likages between goals, interventions, outcomes are not the same. Would recommend an optional link between goal and intervention. Also recommend a link between goal and health concerns. (these need to be optional to many relationships both way 0……* and *…….0)
• Need to review the interventions on the FHIM model to address planned and implemented interventions. )(difference here)
• Need to put more detail in the goals section of the HL7 model.
• Suggest FHIM looks at the review of the goals, the proposed interventions, the care preferences, and barriers.
• Do the have the concept of the “steward” in the roles?
Kevin’s contribution
• To be discussed at another out-of-session meeting (likely to be Wednesday lunch)

Allergy/Intolerance ballot reconciliation - continued
Ballot comment disposition details - see documentation in Ballot comment spreadsheet
Discussions on ballot comments identified a number of issues in the Allergy/Intolerance class diagram
Examples of issues:
"Adverse sensitivity to substance" has two subclasses:
"Allergy" and "Intolerance"
But there is no "Allergy/Intolerance" subclass for cases where differentiation between allergy and intolerance is clinically not possible
It is unclear whether "Adverse Reaction" is a collector class for linking "Manifestation" (signs and symptoms), or "adverse reaction" is for representing the signs and symptoms; and "manifestation" for representing the date/time of the adverse reaction.
It is also considered to be undesirable to call out "severity" which should be an attribute that defines signs and symptoms of reactions
It is agreed that the class diagram will need to be reviewed further and clean up before the next ballot

Joint meeting - PCWG and SOA
Update on Care Plan project was presented - progress since Baltimore meeting:
Care Plan structure conceptual model: significant progress achieved through use case analysis and fortnightly review and improvement. Model is maturing
Further meetings during this week: Monday Q5 and Tuesday Q5, Q6 and Wednesday lunch quarter - further enhance conceptual model with harmonization analysis on FHIM care plan module and inputs from Kevin Coonan.
See slide deck for details:
Further development of care plan structure will be required. This will include review of previous patient care works on care plan and order set; and investigate bringing relevant components of previous work into new care plan structure.
Discussions over relationships between health concern, goals and interventions
Agreed that relationships between concern, goals and interventions can be overly complex - especially involving many-many relationships between goals and interventions.
While it is important to define and represent the relationships, the complexity of many-many relationships may not be implementable at current technology capabilities and they may also be over burdening clinicians. It was suggested that these relationships would defined as optional and implemented optionally.
Detailed discussions over how allergy/intolerance and adverse reactions are represented and implemented in Care Plan – will bring in works done by Allergy/Intolerance project
It was suggested analysis of how the "contra-indication" and "risks" care plan constructs/classes could be used to implement "allergy/Intolerance" and "adverse reaction".
Care Coordination Services – it may be desirable to develop a functional model for services coordination
The following topics were also discussed:
- the need to decouple the collaboration processes from the implementation (organisation specific workflows) of care plan
- the need to define role-based functions which follows/guided by organisation policies
- how organisation policy that defines scope of practice of individual (e.g. care providers) to be enacted – need to define structural attributes of each role class
- the need to connect with quality group for inputs on Care Plan.
The Quality Group was invited to participate in the Care Plan project fortnightly conference calls.

Update from Template - Template Versioning and Relationships
Update given by Kai Heitmann, covering the following topics/areas: governance, template design, registry vs repository, template versioning (ID, date, status).
Lengthy discussions on criteria for determining a new version of template and parent-child relationship between templates. Deterministic criteria include governance group, purposes and value set bindings. The issues/implication of adoption, adaptation, replacement, backward compatibility between new and old versions and equivalency were also extensively discussed.
Also discussed were whether Detailed Clinical Models (DCM) are templates:
It was suggested that DCM would be considered as templates. There is the need to work on transform mechanism to transform DCM to other formalism, e.g. HL7 templates. And HL7 templates can be linked (as metadata – with derived from relationship) back to the DCM. Registry can store and return for the metadata in response to queries. Metadata can also be kept in repository.
It was suggested that DCM and templates should be linked by identifiers.
Motion: (by William Goossen): to include “derived from” relationship to the template relationship
Second: Bob Dolin

In favour: 30; Opposed: 0; Abstained: 0

Update from Template - HingX
Update by Mark Shafarman on HingX - summary as follows:
Implementation guide subgroup of publishing work group – not limiting to CDA
- HingX is Open Health Tools project initially sponsored by Rockefeller foundation – initially known as HEART
- Provides global resource registry (for registration of health related ICT resources globally) with relationships between resources
- Reference repository
- Participating in project – HL7 piloting a limiting number of projects: including tooling; publishing; template; SOA, etc. It could potentially be a repository of all HL7 artefacts
- HingeX website: www.hingx.org
- test actual artefact registrations with several WG projects
- Implementation guide sub-committee
- Develop cookie cutter for CDA implementation guide
- Would also like this developed for patient care
- Currently Seeking feedback on need for enhancement of APIs
See the following side decks for more details:
Update from Structured Document/CDA
Acknowledge the need to better understand relationship between constraints on templates implementation guides and adoption, adaptation before implementation.
A C-CDA support task force has been established with goals to support prioritization of MU2 data element requirements and to development clear guidelines (based on best practices)to improve consistency in CDA implementations/adoptions.
See slide deck posted by SDWG on this project for more details:
Update from Patient Care - Allergy/Intolerance & Adverse Reaction Project and MU2 Medication Allergy value set business
History and update by Elaine Eyre:
- MU2 defined use of Rx Norm as code set for reporting allergies (medication)
- Scope and value sets are too limited. Issues identified in a slide deck prepared by George Robinson and James Shalaby with proposed solutions.
- Other groups including Patient Care raised concerns and initiated a number of conference calls with participation by George and Jim.
- Subsequent to the conference calls a white paper was developed by George and Jim, with recommendation on scope and value set to meet MU3 timeline (5 February 2013)
- It is unclear what the status of this white paper is in at the time of Phoenix meeting.
- Patient Care allergy project team with inputs from George and Jim also submitted comments/feedback (via HL7) to MU3 requirements on allergy reporting.

Update from Patient Care - Care Plan Project
Update by Lauran Heermann
The Care Plan DAM development continues with plan for informative ballot in May.
Questions: what other ballots were coming through SD from the LCC related to CP.
There appears to be discussions on the LCC calls about a ballot for the IMPACT data set and for an implementation guide on CDA with Care Plan components.
Follow up discussions with SDWG: The structured docs group indicated neither of those (IMPACT data set and CDA IG including Care Plan components) are targeted for ballot in May and that they are fully aware of needing to work closely with Patient Care when it comes to any ballots related to care plan
