Introductions

1. 7906 – Encounter condition relationship
   

Add the ability to represent which conditions (diagnosis) were related to the encounter in addition to a role code specifying which condition was the principal diagnosis and which are working, preliminary, confirmed, final, etc. Similar to the QICore Encounter profile extensions
The WG discussed the way that the Condition, Encounter and EpisodeOfCare should be related and how that relates to condition. The Patient Care WG. Within the encounter resource, “reason” and “indication” were discussed as a way to link Patient Care concerns and Patient Administration concerns.
The WG discussed EpisodeOf Care and what that might mean. Patient Care displayed a use case of the evolution of a health concern (Hernia)
The two work groups discussed further the relationships of the concept of EpisodeOfCare, Encounter and HealthIssue. The ISO model was displayed for clarity.
The WG then followed through ad hoc use case about pregnancy of a diabetic patient who happens to then have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Diabetes would be an episode of care that occurred before the pregnancy, which would now be in parallel to the new pregnancy episode of care and the UTI could be simply an encounter.
It became clear after discussion that the sequencing of the conditions make a difference; essentially what the patient presents should be the primary concern.
In discussing the various resources involved, the WG focused on the Encounter.indication, the text of which constrains on Condition or Procedure. “Reason the encounter takes place, as specified using information from another resource. For admissions, this is the admission diagnosis. The indication will typically be a Condition (with other resources referenced in the evidence.detail), or a Procedure.”
This helped the first part of the commenter’s problem. However the ballot commenter (Michelle) who was present expressed again the concern about the “role” that the indication is playing (e.g. primary, secondary, etc.)
Brian procedded to remodel the Encounter.indication and Encounter.reason to meet the needs of Patient Care. The final model seems to separate the Encounter.reason (procedure/role) and Encounter.reason (condition/role).

1. 7858 – Patient Cause of Death is related to the above # 7906
   
2. 7865 – Hospitalization component removed from Encounter resource in DSTU2.

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. 7865 – Encounter. Hospitalization period was removed.
   

Michelle (submitter) wanted to know why the period was removed hospitalization period was removed. Removed the accommodation component and removed the period on hospitalization component. IN order to meet her needs, she can make use of the location component to record the movement.
During this discussion, Brian explained the usage of location period for the patient move during a hospitalization. She seemed to think this might meet her needs and will check with her implementor. Meanwhile, the disposition now contains the following text in the tracker
“There is no period on the hospitalilzation as only the encounter with the hospitalization component has this information. To find this information for the other encounters that occur during the hospitalization, the information can be found on the part of encounter.
As discussed the location component has period to assist tracking within the encounter. If your system does not want to create additional encounters during the admission, it could use this component. We would recommend that you have at least 2 encounters, one that covers the admission/hospitalization, then another (or more ) that cover the interactions.
If you could provide some assistance with additional clarification on the guidance provided in section 5.18.1 we would happily assist .”
This will be marked as awaiting input from submitter.
Alexander H., now asked about the EncounterLocation.Status. After some discussion, the WG moved on to the next tracker item. He will create a tracker item for his concerns about values of this element.

1. 7086 – Should communication also include a preferred method such as sign language, braille, etc
   .

On further examincation of this issue, were you referring to the telecom property to choose which contact point for the patient is preferred? This could be considered as a standard extension.
This will be marked as awaiting input from submitter.

1. 7299 – Duplicate of # 6928. See the resolution there.
   
2. 6930 – Duplicate concept of # 6928. Brian moves to not change the person resource referencing the explicit exclusion of race and ethnicity. Alexander H.
   

Discussion:
Vote (for/against/abstain): 9/0/3

1. 7300 – gender should be renamed to administrative gender to distinguish it from a possible meaning of biological gender which for more in depth clinical uses could be a much greater set of potential value. This is done for other HL7 specifications.
   

The WG discussed this and did not find it persuasive since there is a lot of administrative gender text to define this well. Brian moves that there be no change. Alexander H. seconds.
Discussion:
Vote(for /against/abstain): 11/0/1

1. 7301 – birth date should be dateTime.
   

The birth time component is defined as a standard extension which contains the date and time as requested. This has been done intentionally, in an attempt to prevent known issues caused by applying timezones inadvertently/incorrectly to birthdates given their importance in many systems for identification and cross references.
Brian moved to add notes into the description of the birthdate property to indicate that the standard extension should be used in your use case. Line seconds.
Discussion: None
Vote: 11/0/1

1. 7558 – militaryService - This definition does not satisfy any specific requirements. It is insufficient for VA use and we no record of VA having been consulted. Research is needed on required content for this extension
   

The WG will remove the standard extension regarding military service from the standard extension as without having a shared meaningful valueset to interoperate with, this, as you point out, is meaningless. We do encourage a realm specific extension created in one of the appropriate profiles with a defined set.

Brian moved to remove the standard extension regarding military service from the standard extension as without having a shared meaningful valueset to interoperate with, it is meaningless. Alex d. seconded

Discussion
Vote (for/against/abstain): 10/0/2

1. 7882 add coverage to patient
   

Some from FM might like to add. The WG will refer this to them.

1. 7605 Allow birth date
   

Duplicate of 7301.

1. 7302 – There needs to be a way to express reason for death via a condition resource.
   

After discussion we agree that this is not part of the core (via 80/20) patient resource and would fit within extensions. The group noted that there is a PDA segment in v2 which contains this type of information.
Brian moves that is not persuasive and will include the following text in the disposition. Aleander H. seconded.

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. 7858 – Cause of death
   

This has two parts to the request.
Add cause of death on the patient resource (allowing for multiple observations)
Add outcome (death) on the condition similar to the outcome on the Family History outcome.
Part 1 is a duplicate of # 7302.
The second part will be referred to patient care.

1. 7559 – disability extension isn’t useful
   

Patient.Disability within the standard extensions.
The WG discussed the fact that there was no clear reference to the value set for disability. After some brief research, the v3 value set of http://hl7.org/fhir/2015May/v3/PersonDisabilityType/index.html which might be appropriate for administrative use. There is a local US defined valueset also from SNOMED http://hl7.org/fhir/2015May/valueset-qicore-patient-disability.html. The WG included this in the disposition along with an invitation to attend future work group meetings or conference calls to clarify their requirements.

1. 6248 - add "unkown" to Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/animal-genderstatus and make required. In veterinary medicine you don't alway know. e.g. Is a young stray dog spayed? This is clinically useful information. (Could that abdominal mass be a puppy?) Also this VS is pretty complete and I would make required and change to code or at least extensible.
   

The value “unknown” will be added to the AnimalGender status valueset. The cardinality will remain as optional.
Nat moves to add the value of “unknown” to the AnimalGender status valueset and have the cardinality as optional until it is identified that this valueset has complete coverage of all values of the concept. The property will also be added to the recommended values. As this is only an example set, we should not set it as a required property. Brian seconds.
Discussion: The property will also be added to the recommended values. As this is only an example set, we should not set it as a required property.
Vote (for/against/abstain): 8/0/0

1. 7609 The definition is ambiguous. What does "nominated care provider" mean? Is it the primary care provider?
   

The intent of this property is to provide the patient’s selected/nominated/chosen care providers.
This can be the primary care provider (in a GP context). This could also be a patient nominated care manager in a community/disability setting or even organization. The wording in the definition and detailed description will be updated to clarify this.
Brian moves to update the wording and detailed decription to clarify. Nat seconded.
Discussion: None
Vote (for/against/abstain): 8/0/0

1. 7610 - Make managing organization 0..*? Can there only be one managing organization? How does this address a continuum of care use case? Should this be left to provenance and not be directly in the patient resource?
   

This is the custodian of the patient record. Peter moves to reject the change in cardinality and to add clarifying text to better descrive the usage of this property. Nat seconds.
Discussion: None
Vote (for/against/abstain): 8/0/0
