Minutes

Most discussion was driven by the exception/issue list maintained for advancing the FHIR DSTU2 preparation. Following are notes related to those discussions. Decisions will be documented both here and on the FHIR tracker.

  • Grahame noted that a Terminology Service using FHIR will be mounted on a trial basis in the near future.
  • Suggestion that printName be part of the "ValueSet.compose.include".
    • Discussion ensued as to whether that inclusion should state expressly that this is added to "uniquely identify the code in its context of use". While there was agreement that there is merit in this context, it led to a further discussion in other contexts. Motion captured in tracker item 3258
  • Discussion of including the (or not) the base code as an "is-a" relational definition. Found that the current FHIR definition is not clear, as written. Resolution in tracker item 3192
  • item 3262 - Related to required nature of name and description in the VS resource, although it is only really required in Sharable Value Set where the extension defines that. Agreed to reduce to optional with added note to definition noting that the field will be required when it used as a Sharable Value Set
  • item New item 3535 - add optional version attribute even though it is way outside the 80%, because it is REQRUIED to deal with code systems that do not enforce concept permanence. The attribute will include a "do not use unless ...." warning
  • New issue - In Define (local code systems) is growing need for multiple languages in definition and display (designation) Agreed GG will draft this capability and bring back to Vocab for review
  • Agreed to add task to assure that Vazlue Set resource is aligned and compliant with the HL7 VSD specification.

Minutes

Core Principles

Beeler noted that the September 2012 Ballot of Core Principles R2 had one stubborn Negative that he attempted (for too long) to get withdrawn without seeking recirculation ballot. In the end, the deadlines for this document expired. At this point the only choice is to re-ballot the content.

He and Klein (the two primary authors) seek to re-ballot with the content changes agreed to with all of the withdrawn Negatives, and a preface that details the rationale behind the "Not Persuasive" Negative that was not withdrawn. No other content changes will be made. Motion to adopt this strategy between MnM and Vocabulary (Beeler/Klein 15-0-0)

Value Set Versions

Beeler noted that effective in July and new or updated Value Sets are receiving a "proper" version with the Version Date set to a few days before the next WGM. This begs the question as to how to deal with the myriad value sets that are just receiving a "current" date. Given the source of truth, it would be possible to use generated MIF files for all value set changes since sometime in 2008, but not earlier.

After discussion the motion was made by McKenzie/Klein to: "Establish a version date from the end of the first trimester 2014 as the fixed version date for all value sets that existed at that time, allowing the updates from July and going forward to be unambiguously tracked." Motion passed 15-0-0

Proposal on ParticipationMode

Discussion on draft proposal to add a mode to allow participation via a survey.

Motion to modify per following and changes from Ted and accept such for Harmonization (Beeler/Walker) - 14-0-0

  1. Suggest that correct solution is to use: ONLINEWRIT (online written) Definition: "Participation by text or diagrams submitted by computer network (e.g. computer or online survey)." Parent: WRITTEN Child: EMAILWRIT.
  2. Second, although the mode ELECTRONIC is poorly defined, changing it in the fashion suggested can not be done because it clearly CHANGES the current definition. Need to either fix this (or at minimum add an OpenIssue to it.

Discussion on NullFlavor for "asked but response declined"

Agreed to ask Merrick to propose such a concept as child of ASKU (with a modification of the "eg" under the definition of ASKU
