Parking Lot

Discussion Items(s) TBD

Conformance usage to override required message elements in the base specification (Resolved on list serve need to document outcome for wider community.)

Moving the Conformance chapter out of the HL7 v2 Standard

• Need to continue working on the position statement pros/cons
• Wait until moving to v2+ before making changes. Need to formalize the position statement so we can elevate it up to the steering committee.
• Rob will clean up the position statement, based on the notes from the September meeting, so we can have a formal review.
• Discuss revising the message profile/xml/json representation based on best practices developed by NIST

Test Data Categorizations

• Testing associated to specific test cases. Need to review the categories.

Request for Feedback on Project to Document HL7 v2 Interfaces

• Present and Discuss Effort to Profile and Document current HL7 V2 Interfaces (e.g. Immunization Information Systems)

v2.9 Proposals (Parked proposals for waiting for v2+):

• Message Profile Identifiers (Managing multiple versions-OIDs)
• Managing Value Set OIDs (How to specify in MSH.21)
• Harmonized Data Type Flavors in Profiling (e.g., TS_1, TS_2, etc.)
• Specifying explicit conformance statements in the base standard and IGs
• Replace CWE/CNE/etc. with simple and complex coded element??
