• Agenda approved - Lloyd/Andy
• Minutes approved - Lloyd/Andy

• Grouper Discussion
  • Austin emailed out a requirements document and a proposal for the GROUPER codes
  • Austin says that the proposal is probably a non-starter but gives some idea of a way forward
  • Lloyd argues that the GROUPER/BATTERY codes are not strictly necessary but can provide extra information about the way that Acts/Observations are organized. He has a strong objection to BATTERY and a smaller object to GROUPER depending on how it is used.
  • There was a discussion about a previous Level Code and whether it could be used
  • There is a problem in that GROUPER/BATTERY would not be an observation, so you could not get BATTERY acts returned in a generic query for observations. But you can't just make BATTERY a child of GROUPER and OBSERVATION, because then you could not do a battery of diagnostic imaging tests.
  • Proposal to move away from using GROUPER/BATTERY for ordering
  • Lloyd will writeup a harmonization proposal and work with Patrick to ensure that it works with OO's requirements.
