 Action: for items 8112/8107 - Melva will do the prep work prior to next WG meeting for the dispense and medicationstatement resources.

• Group discussed Gforge item #8409 - "MedicationPrecription.Substitution" recently submitted by Michelle Miller. Group will check with Julie to confirm that the recent vocabulary change would address this issue instead of taking the approach of using a Boolean for a substitution property.

Action: Melva to add Jose's change request to WG list
Action: Melva to email Julie to inquire about the vocabulary approach to address Michelle's issue.

• Motion: John, second Jose Voted 7:0:0 - to handle items 8378 and 8276 with the same solution - two items are closely related. Group will then decide if a "reason" is needed for all status changes.

• Motion: John Second: Rik Voted 7:0:0- Item: 8377 - Group motions that this item can be addressed through use of an extension.

• Item #8228 needs a change to allow for a range for rate to be handled. Requires adding the choice to be able to enter a rate change or a rate quantity.
  • Motion Marla, Second John - Voted:7:0:0 for us to allow range to be added to resource, assigned to Rik to determine the how this will be accomplished.

ARB Project

• Discussed a new ARB project for the development of computable links for semantic interoperability that would be useful in FHIR. One of the candidates would be to develop computable links between FHIR and RIM constructs. He relayed discussions that occurred had around this topic at the Paris OOC meeting, at the Paris ITS and ARB meetings. He has put forth a new PSS with ARB that uses RDS and Pharmacy FHIR resources. Proposes a project with RDS and pharmacy to build tools and/or grammar to support this venture. A PSS has been developed and will be presented in tomorrow's ARB meeting. Charlie wants the Rx group to know about this effort and consider our group supporting the effort. Charlie believes that Pharmacy has done much of the work of defining the linkages, but still needs to be converted to a computable form. He believes much of that work will occur in the ARB subgroup working on RDS.
  • ARB had not reviewed when first presented to Pharmacy
  • ARB has approved in principle - PSS has been drafted and approved. Has been forward to Pharmacy as well as a number of other work groups. Some discussions about who will own this project (FHIR Management Group wants to own). It will go forward - joint meeting with Pharmacy WGs, RDF group and ARB.
  • Pharmacy's responsibility will be to provide RDF group the links to the Pharmacy FHIR resources. Probably minimal work for Pharmacy WG.
  • A joint meeting will be scheduled in the next few weeks

Completed Action: Rx Co-chairs to meet to discuss and determine the Rx WG's role in the effort. (As of 6/15, 6/22 this is not completed)
Completed Action: Melva to forward to the Pharmacy WG for review - complete
Completed Action:  Add to agenda for next WG call to determine how Pharmacy will participate

ARB Computable Semantic Links from FHIR PSS

• 7/6 - Charlie informed the group that the project has been officially been approved.

Action: John Hatem will attend the first planning meeting and provide notes/minutes to Pharmacy

Decision made: Level of involvement on this project Motion to move that we are a co-sponsor of this project. Motion: John, Seconded Scott Vote:7:0:0

Action: Melva to followup/email with ARB to inform them of our vote to co-sponsor - completed
