CG WG Call Notes leading to 2015 January WGM

Proposed Agenda

• Consolidate the CG DIM and Clinical Sequencing DAM into a single CG DAM
• IOM data mapping
  • Grant's proposal: "The record stored in the EHR should not be test-based, especially for large gene panels and whole exome/genome testing. Rather, it should be based on specific disease and medication assessment"
    • Amnon: should keep data aligned with the 'clinical genomics statement' (CGS) structure that include all the above components and dictate certain starting point; then, in human readable reports or in a summary layer of the EHR, it should be possible to analyse CGS instances relating to an individual, and show significance to a certain disease, medication, care goal/plan, etc.
  • Larry's response: "first represent the list of data elements in an object model form so that we all can see the relationships, cardinality, constraints and other hidden qualities that are not evident in the list form"; "It would also require us to agree on precise definitions of the data elements and the context in which they are intended to be used"
    • Amnon: I believe that the "object model" Larry is proposing to develop is the Clinical Genomics DIM (standards-independent)
