HL7 Vocabulary Technical Correction Reporting

Process

A Vocabulary Technical Correction issue may be opened by anyone.

To open a Vocabulary Technical Correction issue:

Create a wiki page (or using an existing wiki page on which the issue is already being discussed)
Ensure the wiki page reflects the core of the issue, rationale as to why the issue needs to be resolved, and if possible, a suggested resolution
Flag it as a Vocabulary Correction by inserting {{Vocabulary Correction}} as the first line of text of the wiki discussion
Send an e-mail to the [Vocabulary list] with the subject line "Vocabulary Correction: <some descriptive label>" and include a summary of the issue along with a link to the Wiki page

Resolution process:

Vocabulary Corrections will be reviewed on a regular basis on Vocabulary TC conference calls and at Harmonization meetings.
The Vocabulary Correction for discussion at a given conference call or meeting will be governed by several considerations
- Whether the wiki discussion seems to be close to reconcilliation
- Whether there has been progress on the list servers and/or wiki since the issue was last discussed
- Whether the principle participants in the discussion are available to discuss the Vocabulary Correction
Results of Vocabulary Correction discussions will be posted to the Vocabulary list]
Upon resolution, a Vocabulary Correction will be either categorized as
- resolved - if there are further outstanding actions to be taken by MnM or other committees, or
- closed - if all action items have been completed
Vocabulary will monitor the Vocabulary Correction Reporting for revisions categorized as resolved with a view to seeing them move to closed as soon as feasible.
