Agenda Items and notes

Tracker Items

FHIR Tracker

Medication Related (Group = A)

• None of these tracker items were discussed on June 19. We are waiting on Jean Duteau to participate in this conversation.
• 13392 Enhance the Medication resource for alignment with the IDMP Authorized Medicinal Product model
  • 12396 Medication package and product
  • 12395 Basis of Strength Substance
• 12671 Consider adding "maintenance drug Indicator" on medication when discussing formulary.

Dosage Related (Group = B)

• None of these tracker items were discussed on June 19.
• 13383 We need to be able to specify that a dosage timing must be obeyed exactly
• 13382 We need Dosage.text to be a CodeableConcept
• 13381 We need a way to express <daysAdministeredAmount> and <daysNotAdministeredAmount> in Dosage
• 13380 Possible new element in Dosage: calculationBasis
• 13317 Allow Dosage to express a medication should start/stop relative to an event
• 12791 Update dosage Instruction to include pre-condition and therapeutic target

Misc (Group = none)

• 13044 Fix performer on MedicationAdministration - update description and add role back in with appropriate value set
  • waiting on changes from Workflow
  • Logical model for workflow has Performer (0..*) with roles from SNOMED
  • John - we were asked to constrain that role list but we decided at the time not to include role. Now we want to have it and need it to work with the definition in workflow.
  • Michelle - if role is a static aspect of the performer, then we don't need it (it's available in the specific resource describing that person). We need role if it related to the specific event and may not be consistent across related events.
  • extensive discussion ... does this include performer/verifier? That was previously advised (by FHIR) to be done with provenance. This may result in a "stack" of provenance events related to the order (ordered by, verified by, modified by, ...). This isn't how most systems are designed ... would be extensions(?) ... at least it would work. Event history (links to provenance) doesn't link to the most recent status ... would have to track through the provenance find the most recent state.
  • 6/12 we have not reach the end of this discussion (but we are at the end of the call)
    • John - the specific tracker can be addressed by adding role to medicationRequest, but this may not address the intent.
• 13043 Fix performer on MedicationDispense - update description and add role back in with appropriate value set
  • waiting on changes from Workflow
• 12473 Status Review - consider splitting clinical status from verification status
• we discussed 13537 which is a request to update Medication Administration by removing the NotGiven Boolean and adding in a new status code - not done. Since this is coming from workflow we decided to wait until this is added to the Event logical model for Workflow and evaluate the definition of "not done" and assess it's relevance for Pharmacy. In general there was a positive reaction to this request.
• we discussed 13538 which is a request to update Medication Dispense by removing the notGiven Boolean and adding in a new status code - not done. Since this is coming from workflow we decided to wait until is added to the Event logical model for Workflow, and evaluate the definition of "not done" and assess it's relevance for Pharmacy.
  • Michelle mentioned we may also want to review Patient Care 12592 before we make our changes since there was some discussion about how this change should/should not impact the Request resource.
• 13496 - we discussed this item and found it not Persuasive. JohnH moved, Jose seconded: vote 4-0-0 Tracker item update with details.
• 13536 - this was a request to add a new attribute for documenting the brand name for a medication. No vote this week, but we felt that our definition for medication.code was updated to reflect this is where the brand name can be found. During our discussion it was discovered that the medication.code description needs to be updated, since part of the description that documents how brand or generic descriptions can be documented was not brought forward from our FHIR v2 materials.

Order Service Catalogue FHIR Project

• To follow the Order Catalog work, use the following listserv: ordercatalog@lists.hl7.org
• Background
  • under Orders WG.
  • Catalogue vs Formulary. Catalog is a superset of Formulary, includes orderable items beyond medications.
  • expect one or two new resources
  • Jose and John involved
• Update from John & Jose
  • June 19, 2017 - Request of new resource - Catalog Entry is being documented. The big picture view of a Catalog would be the use of a Composition resource that has a reference to a Catalog Entry resource and each Catalog Entry resource has a reference to a Medication resource.
  • Next meeting is Wednesday, June 21.

International Chemotherapy Implementation FHIR IG

• Chemotherapy IG Wiki Page
• Background
  • NCCN and other European input to support broad requirements. Specific implementations would constrain as needed
