Agenda

  • MIF ballot
  • Information Model metadata documentation
  • IHTSDO alignment (agreement + process + impacts)
  • Harmonization - patterns
  • Value set definitions in Acts in definition mood
  • Registering Concept Domains from International Affiliates

MIF Ballot

  • MIF will never end
  • phase #1 is complete, submitted to TSC for publishing
  • Work will start again, but no timeline

Information Model Metadata documentation

  • Need to better describe model metadata
  • Listed on the scope statement: Lloyd.
  • Beverley to enhance the scope statement, and bring it forward for formal consideration
  • a companion for core principles
  • for people doing design

Harmonisation - design patterns

  • Lloyd explained design patterns and their impact on harmonization, for vocabulary's information
  • Vocabulary was aware of the relevance and potential impacts

Discussion of HL7 IHTSDO Process

  • Harmonization impacts were discussed
  • in order to have a HL7 namespace for snomed, we need a gatekeeper
    • A central authority with documentation of the processes (to ensure due diligence) + with contact details (we don't need that much detail of the process)
    • Much contention about the process - some of this was discussed; vocab still to make decisions
    • General agreement that we would like to move our processes and our current vocabulary content towards a more vigorous base
    • Agreement that this consideration impacts on our direction, but shouldn't slow us from taking immediate action
    • There may be a reason to consider splitting the HL7 namespace into multiple parts with different management processes
  • The interests of HL7 - both short and long term - would be well served by enhancing the existing process with the goal of moving as much of the HL7 terminology as feasible and sensible into Snomed-CT (either the core or the HL7 extension)
  • We still need to measure the costs of tightening up on the harmonization process and determine where (i.e. which terminologies) they should be imposed
  • Woody volunteers to participate in the process going forward, and proposes a meeting during harmonization
  • Possible: Add to snomed checklist a flag for "include in Snomed-CT core" (and also exclude)
  • We proposed prototyping the process this harmonization as a trial balloon

OIDs and value sets in CDA implementation guides

  • Issues with how to handle US realm specific implementation guides and value sets
  • OIDs not governed by HL7 are clearly marked
  • CDA implementation guide value sets need to be registered in the OID registry
  • CDA value sets in MIF - not known whether or when that will happen

Concept domains from International Affiliates

  • only one authority can define concept domains - HL7 Intl
  • affiliates can request a concept domain through harmonisation (via domain committee or intl affiliates)
  • challenge if the concept domain doesn't make sense in the relevant domain committees models
    • i.e. a concept domain represents constructs in lab that assumes a central repository; intl model doesn't support that and don't want to add it
  • how to manage that circumstance in harmonisation?.
  • Lloyd Proposes
    • if something comes to harmonization that is not aligned, WG can reject proposal, and affiliate must work to align
    • if that turns out not to be possible (committee does not want to adopt requirement in the model), bring it forward to harmonization where it will be accepted
    • domain must still be valid against all the other rules
    • affiliates should inform other affiliates
  • General agreement.
    • nice if you could hide them if you don't want to see them
    • could have a property on the domain to tag it
  • Lloyd to bring to round table and then to committees and affiliate council list

Agenda

Next harmonization meeting July 12 - 15. On the agenda:

  • for the next version of the RIM
  • Harmonizing design patterns - a separate day


Facilitators' Roundtable

Ted (Vocab):

  • CPP - 55 Negs, 5 done. Expect to go normative Summer
  • CTS 2 - major release from OMG on Monday
  • agreement with IHTSDO: progressing quickly
  • Meeting with Anat Path: created a project to be able to distribute templates with included valuesets
  • 2.8: overhaul to use CPP vocabculary structures in v2.

Hugh (Pharmacy):

  • Procedural difficulties of publishing content - can we have internal publishing process? + other publishing issue
  • Seeking to co-locate a meeting with IHE
  • Considering implementation guides
  • Now harmonizing content with Structured Documents

Agenda

ActRelationshipType vocabulary cleanup

Issues

  • Codes aren't necessarily well defined
  • Codes don't clearly identify what's the source and what's the target
  • Descendant codes don't necessarily have the same source-target direction as their anscestors
  • Semantic characteristics such as transitivity, reflexivity, etc. aren't necessarily consistent between parent and child
  • No clear rules (or way of enforcing the rules) around restrictions on classCode and/or moodCode for source and target acts
    • In some cases, may need rules that define the allowed relationship between source and target moods. E.g. source and target classCode need to be the same, or target must be specialization of source.
  • Where such rules are stated, they're not necessarily valid/appropriate
  • Sibling codes aren't necessarily mutually exclusive
  • Some codes that should have parent/child relationships don't
  • Some codes have questionable utility - e.g. PERT
  • Not clear that all codes are really needed for use in models - some may exist to give desired names rather than essential semantics
  • Some codes are missing definitions e.g. CURE, DIAG
  • Names don't necessarily align with underlying semantics of the code

Proposed Approach

  1. Figure out what the "ideal" vocabulary hierarchy would be, complete with appropriate properties and definitions - don't worry about backward compatibility
  2. Decide whether to deprecate existing code system and move to new code system (as we did with some code systems in DT R2) or to merely deprecate codes and define new ones
    1. If moving to a new code system, will need to differentiate between models using the "old" semantics vs. those using the new semantics if automatic update isn't possible/safe
  3. Create tutorial that covers key design patterns & importance of selection of appropriate codes to help train modeling facilitators (and for use in QA processes)
