Templates life-cycle state terms
The Trifolia team would like to submit a DSTU Comment against the Templates DSTU ...
Here’s the issue:
We have found inconsistency in two of the “life-cycle” state terms. The Templates DSTU used the terms "Retired" and "Terminated" in a way that is inconsistent with the way the HL7 Harmonization Process uses these words. Also, HL7 Harmonization uses "Deprecated" and "Retired". Trifolia uses the terms "Deprecated" and “Retired”. However, we don’t think that everyone is using the term “Retired” to mean the same thing. Also, the ActStatus code system needs to be reviewed to see where these "states" are actually defined within HL7.
All this needs to get further clarified, and then the DSTU should be updated to reflect the agreed “common” view/usage.
Sarah will confirm the definitions as they are being used in Trifolia.
If you add this topic to a discussion item at a Templates Meeting and let this group know when that discussion could take place, we will send representatives to help work through this. We think Vocab (due to Harmonization Process overlap) and M&M should also be included in the analysis/discussion. The material in question can be found in chapter 2.9.6 in the Templates DSTU.
