The role of a project lead is to take responsibility for one of the Patient Care Projects and engage PC membership to achieve the project goals. Hence, they relieve the work of the co-chairs. Once a project could go to ballot, co-chairs will arrange for appropriate voting procedures and ballot formalities.
26 May 2011: Missing information can be added.

Change Requests
Patient Care has now a formal request for change (RFC) page which can be used to request changes in the ballot materials.
Please use this for RFC you have pertaining to Topics, D-MIM, R-MIM, use cases, interactions, walkthrough etc. Those that have been handled by either a motion accepted, and /or models or descriptions being changed are listed under Dispositioned Requests.
Meeting Information

Project Priorities
Patient Care has several active projects and some waiting for volunteers to step up and carry on.
- Our main goals are to bring the Domain Message Information Model (D-MIM) to normative ballot in the January 2012 cycle, and following this the 4 core Topics Referral, Acceptance, Record Query and Care Record in the May 2012 cycle (unless we can speed up the work for January).
- In addition two Active Topics include Allergy and Intolerance and Care Plan. For both information analysis
is ongoing, leading to Domain Analysis Models (DAM) and updating the dynamic models R-MIMs for both Topics. Allergy and Intolerance Topic is currently planned to go to Normative in September 2012 ballot.
- Beside these more infrastructural parts we are working on the domain content. In principle: a HL7 sound specification of what goes into the Care Record, what can be in the Query, or what goes in the Care Plan.
Two current examples include the DAM for Skin Care and Detailed Clinical Models (DCM) for five frequently used clinical materials.
- We are cleaning up the Assessment Scale R2 DSTU ballot to be included into the NE 2012.
All other Topics in the table below are still on our to do list, but will follow our above priorities.
Project Information
| Project | Status |
|---|---|
| Care Provision D-MIM
The Care Provision D-MIM is the fundamental piece of work of the Patient Care Working Group. All HL7 messages under Care Provision are dependend on this Domain Message Information Model. All R-MIMs representing specific messages for specific tasks for continuity of care are derived from this basic model. The derivation is done via removing from D-MIM what we do not need, replacing full classes with CMETs, constraining attributes, cardinalities or relationships, or - very important - roll out specific structures that are derived from the clinical statement.

| Allergy & Intolerance
This topic covers all interactions related to clinically recorded adverse reactions.
|

| Pressure Ulcer Prevention
This topic covers pressure ulcer risk assessment and interventions.
|

| Health Concern
Concern Tracking and Care statements provide a framework for tracking and managing health concerns.

| Care Plan Project 2012 | |
| Care Plan Initiative project 2011
Care Plan has been balloted some years ago as DSTU. However, it was felt at that time that more work needed to be done in defining care plan, the components of the care plan, identifying use cases and use. The plan for 2011 is to first develop a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) for the Care Plan, and then decide on follow on activities. The HDF 1.5 (HL7 development framework) approach will be followed.

New PSS and Project ID needed before moving any material to ballot |
| Care Plan Topic project
Care Plan has been balloted some years ago as DSTU. However, it was felt at that time that more work needed to be done in defining care plan, the components of the care plan, identifying use cases and use. The plan for 2010 is to complete the contents of Care Plan.

| Care Composition
No further work is done. |
Cancelled |
| Assessment Scales
The aim of this release is to provide a generic template based on the clinical statement pattern for use with almost all scores systems and assessment scales. Therefore, it provides a framework for use in messages and documents.
|
Active |
| Detailed Clinical Models
The underlying assumption for a standard on Detailed Clinical Models is that to use, exchange and reuse data, and to obtain meaningful information from it for each purpose, data need to be handled consistently. This consistent use is required on both the mono- and multidisciplinary health professional level.
|
Postponed waiting for D-MIM / Core R-MIMs to be balloted as normative. |
| Detailed Clinical Model guidelines for creation
The DCM guidelines are distributed as ISO CD 13972-1 and 2.
|
Moved to JIC, HL7 HQ will handle from now on. |
| Detailed Clinical Models for Medical Devices
The intent of this project is to create and maintain one generic Domain Analysis Model and a set Detailed Clinical Model that defines the main concepts of using medical device-related data safely and traceably for patient care.

Finalized |
| DAM vs DCM vs SAIF
The relationship between a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) and a Detailed Clinical Model (DCM)and how this fits into the Services-Aware Inteoperability Framework (SAIF)

Other topics the Patient Care TC has defined:
These have their own project numbers, or project scope statements need to be developed and balloted.
- Care Record -- currently DSTU
Needs New PSS and Project ID: by August 2011.
- Care Record Query -- currently DSTU
Needs New PSS and Project ID: by August 2011.
- Care Transfer -- currently DSTU
Needs New PSS and Project ID: by August 2011.
No later than before the Sept 2011 PC needs to create PSS for Care Transfer, Care Record and Care Record Query to check consistency with D-MIM update 2011, check Topic status as separate material in order to better manage our ballot publications, make changes and so on. This is necessary to move to normative ballot for January 2012. Next action needed for below materials: Include Care Transfer, Care Record and Care Record Query in table above and create PSS for each. Current # 284 for D-MIM needs to be split into four #. 284 then remains for D-MIM and Care Transfer, Care Record and Care Record Query each need a new Project ID:
- Care Statement -- the clinical statement version in the D-MIM for patient Care, currently DSTU.
Will in future versions of Care Provision be replaced by the Clinical Statement CMET A_SupportingClinicalStatement universal (COCT_RM530000UV)
- Care Structures -- currently DSTU
Needs to be split up in a whole set of different topics to allow finding these in the ballot. Current clustering renders it not findable. Each separate Topic needs a new PSS and separate ID around January 2012 once the D-MIM and first Topics Care Record, Query, Transfer have been brought to ballot.
- Concern Tracking -- currently DSTU as part of care structures, to be moved to separate topic level
Needs new PSS and ID by January 2012 to move to normative
