Discussion

Item	Notes
Introductions and Housekeeping	Dave Hamill welcomed the group. Brief introduction of facilitators and participants.
Scenario 1 - CCD	Key items in this scenario: Care Team representation Section dates Section authors Discussion: Are there any differences between inpatient and outpatient CCD for this scenario? No...should be treated the same. How should authors of an imported document be represented if one creates a subsequent document that includes the imported information? Should not use informant as informant has a specific meaning - i.e. someone who was called to provide information. Item for Follow Up - How does on know when information on a problem list, medication list etc. was reconciled? Item for Follow Up - Causal observations - e.g. brother died of colon cancer in 2009 Item for Follow Up - Amount of information presented in the narrative vs. amount of information presented in the entry - i.e. is it proper to have more information presented in the narrative than information presented in discrete data....or vice versa? Scorecard questions: Is the scorecard validating units (e.g. ucum) correctly? It appears that the scorecard does not support ucum parsing and is looking at specific value set concepts. ID validation (for uniqueness) appears to be looking at the ID element instead of ID attributes. If an author is noted in multiple spots within the CDA, this error will be triggered. Participants should probably be excluded from this check. Effective time rules not appear to be applying correctly (e.g. effective time for all activities should be within the lifespan of the patient) These issues have been raised with Dragon and he will work with the C-CDA R2.1 scorecard team to address these.
Scenario 2 - Care Plan	Ixxx
Scenario 3 - CCD
Discussion	How to we differentiate between patient goals and provider goals? Patient goals have a patient author, provider goals have a provider author, and goals that have both a patient and provider author are shared/negotiated goals Can we apply meaning to the document ID root so we can determine who created a document? It is permissible to recognize your own document root, but there may not be a way to guarantee meaning for ID roots from documents created by other vendors. Use of authoring device may be better. Handling signatures in CCD. Signature text has been added to authenticator and legal authenticator as an extension. This was work that came out of the attachments WG via CDP1. While this can be technically be done, workflow considerations still need to be worked out - e.g. who is the legal authenticator, what are they attesting to, how does this attestation persist, etc. We need to keep in mind that only a person may be a legal authenticator.
