Agenda Items and notes

Pharmacy List topic=

• I recently started researching HL7 because as a pharmacy, we have received several HL7 Data Sharing agreements from 3rd party vendors. I am trying to find out if the Segments/Components/Subcomponents are customizable and excludable from a data set. For example, could we exclude PID from transmission through the interface, yet allow other segments to transfer outside our organization?

Use of Confluence

• further discussion after review done by Co-chairs

SNOMED on FHIR teleconference calls

• Every other Tuesday - June 23rd at 4pm Eastern
• July 9, 2018: Peter Sergent attended recent call - 2 questions about MedAdmin
  • Is dosage going to be aligned with the complex type used in Medication Statement?
  • They are concerned that the reason was non administration is bound to different Snomed hierarchies
  • have discussed in the past - because MedAdmin is different - have previously discussed not to change
  • CodeableConcept - did not have a suggestion for what it should be bound to
  • next call is next week - Peter will ask what they think it should be bound to
• July 30, 2018: accepted position on dosage
  • asked further on multiple hierarchy - referred to chat pages - Need to find out more
  • in allergy/adverse event work done in UK - value sets include multiple hierarchies - more of a global issue that should be posed to FHIR-I

Action:  Melva to post question to Zulip - complete

• August 6, 2018:

MedicationKnowledge Resource

• July 9, 2018:
  • on the Zulip chat - how to reflect an instance of a medication - Medication resource does not have an identifier - intentionally left out - not part of the 80/20 - would use a code
  • need to answer the question about why there is no identifier on medication - identifies an instance of a "thing" - we have a code (which identifies the "kind" of thing)
  • use case - may be for a "bar code" on an IV bag -
  • we have "serial number" in the batch attribute - could we change the name to "identifier"
  • move the "serial number" to the top level and change to name to "identifier" - and change data type. Will discuss with implementers before making change

Action:  talk to implementers about how they deal with this - Cerner, Epic, Vince  - Melva to followup
Action:  talk to Jose - Melva to followup

15105 - MedicationStatement - alignment with WorkFlow

• • notTaken was removed
  • need to consider how to reflect what the prescriber thinks should be taken by the patient - is this a medStatement or is this a MedRequest?
• Lloyd believes should be using a MedRequest with a "plan" status
• Choices:
  • take MedStatement back to the way it was
  • US Core - embrace List
  • follow Lloyd's suggestion to use MedRequest with "Plan" status
  • use status field to identify if a prescriber believes the patient should be on this med and uses taken element to identify if the patient is following the order and taking the medication - could previous do this before we aligned MedStatement with workflow

  • Options:
    • revert back to having "notTaken"(pre workflow harmonization)
