Wednesday May 7 Q2 - Hosting Vocabulary, FHIR

Planning for Value Sets In Harmonization

Ted and Woody noted that they will spend time before July Harmonization to attempt to capture required Value Set definition data (primarily around governance)for value set definitions being added or updated in that Harmonization cycle. Further, they will explore methods for improving the establishment of "release dates" for existing Value Sets.

FHIR QA Rules on Value Sets

Lloyd presented the current definitional principals for Value Sets that will applied to existing FHIR content while preparing for DSTU 2 (between now and September).

FHIR-defined code systems

Discussion on the use of FHIR-defined code systems, in the context of Encounter resource for "CODE" attributes, specifically Encounter Type and AdmitSource and the "requirement" for a "readable" code in such types. Lloyd suggested these be taken back to MnM and others for the enhancement of the QA definitions.

Role of the HTA

HTA seeks to be responsive in this area, and is interested in any QA changes that are defined in the terminology space. Agreed the HTA should undertake to present a Webinar on "How to Discover the Good Vocabulary that is Out There (LOINC, SNOMED, etc.)" in order to follow HTA good practices - and the sooner the better.

Discussion of "incomplete"=

In the QA the term "incomplete" as a Code System, as a result of the binding/conformance requirements of FHIR. (It means "extensible" or bound CNE to people who struggled to learn HL7 terminology in the past.)
