Q2 – patient care

Walk through and discussion of Patient Care wiki on Care Provision

What are the core R-MIMs?

1. Care Record 2. Care Transfer (Referral and Promise, 2 R-MIMS altogether) 3. Query of patient record contents relevant to the referral

The topic Query of referral status – early work has been done - does get no further development.

Use of template – can be in form of R-MIM or clinical content as xml; application of constraints to HL7 domain models, CSP, etc; and for creation of validation artefacts.

Confusions on template still exist in HL7 at large. Need to find a “standardized” way how to express template and use them in CDA, Care Record, etc – need to work with Structure Document WG on this issue.

Need also to consider moving away from representing templates as graphic notations and consider use of some form of constraint language (and constraint statements) to express templates. Also need to move away from the entry points for each artifact in D-MIM. Need to look for a better way and harmonize with templates.

Ballot materials – beneficial to add information pertinent to different target audience view points, e.g. clinician, modellers, implementers. Each view point also needs to consider the level of abstraction

Kai to review section on “template” and update contents where necessary

Issue of cascading changes when made in one artefacts need to flow through to other forms of artefacts. Model driven tools to support such changes are lacking.

Motion 1:

Accept that each patient care template shall have a template ID according to HL7 methodology and this identifier shall be used for every expression of the same template in different formats including MIF, R-MIM, xml, uml, xmi, etc

Kevin (move), Ray (second)

0 against, 1 abstain, 9 support

Motion 2:

Patient care shall adopt a single approach to template ID generation, and Patient Care shall prescribe the use of template ID.root and template ID.extension for all patient care templates

Tabled for further discussion in another session.
