Meeting Minutes

  • Roll call
    • Juliet reminded the group that the meeting minutes of Baltimore WG meeting are available for review.
  • FHIR Data Exchange for Quality Measures (project 1429) (Deferred to 10/26) -Viet/ Bryn
    • This agenda item is deferred to next meeting.
  • Closing the Referral Loop document code value set discrepancy - Gay Dolin
    • The CDA examples task force is working on examples for representing “Closing the referral loop” with C-CDA documents and we are concerned about a challenge with this measure.
    • In CMS50v7 Closing the Referral Loop: Receipt of Specialist Report, the measure asks for (would query for) document codes to represent the numerator using SNOMED CT codes. However, all CDAs require LOINC for document codes. Minimally this: represents a mapping challenge for implementers; rquires dissemination into the implementer community education that they will need to use translation code to represent the SNOMED CT codes in a C-CDA (particularly for systems that query a database of C-CDAs for measure information); altered document management system queries of EHRs
    • Gay will enter an ONC JIRA item reporting this issue as suggested by Jamie
  • Composite related harmonization item - Rob McClure
    • Improvement notation
    • Initial submission due 10/25; Next harmonization meeting 11/9
    • Rob presented the harmonization proposal for adding three new codes to the ObservationValue Code System. One abstract code _MeasuremetnImprovementNotation, and two new codes under this new abstract code. The two new improvement notation codes are IncrIsImp For increased score indicates improvement, and DecrIsImp for decreased score indicates improvement. The rationale for this is the requested change supports HQMF interoperability and also provides coded concepts that can be used for other measurement tracking to indicate improvement notation.
    • Codes were created in FHIR for improvement notation previously. Rob made it clear that this proposal is not to require FHIR to make changes (however, he would recommend to do so). The request here is to vote this harmonization proposal, so changes to HQMF could be made in the future, but it is not voting the changes to be made in HQMF today.
    • Rob made motion to approve this harmonization proposal for this upcoming harmonization meeting, Julia Skapik seconded. Approve/Abstain/Oppose: 18/0/0
    • Rob also discussed the tracker item# 11169 briefly. He suggests to add this as a future agenda item to further discuss teh value set issue related to this tracker item.
