# Wiki scope is OK. There is some discussion of how integral outreach to design teams should be. The "list, classify, design" spreadsheet currently provides a place to list use example data, a placeto classify those examples (both in scope), and a place to demonstrate how those examples are supported by design teams (not in scope). We do, however, want the design teams to use the tool (or to make suggestions for improving it and then use it).

# Provenance
# Design activities continue to progress. We want requirements to be prior, but we can't help that. They will be as prior as we can manage.

## Provenance may affect interpretation of a negated fact, e.g., patient asserts no allergies. If there is a record of an reaction, this is reason to doubt such an assertion. However, positive assertions are also subject to trust and validation. Provenance is important, and may be a requirement for displaying allergy negation, but it's not specific to negation.

### This information should not be specifically created for the measure calculation: if it's important enough for the measure, it should be in the record. QDM models a property, "negation rationale," for recording such causes. Whether such a note automatically excludes a patient from the denominator depends on the design of the rule -- for some rules, there are value sets of valid exclusion kinds.

Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

  1. Add link to PSS: it's on project wiki. Perhaps this referred to the TermInfo wiki.
    1. PSS status: still pending Vocab approval
  2. Provenance
    1. Provenance may affect interpretation of a negated fact, e.g., patient asserts no allergies. If there is a record of an reaction, this is reason to doubt such an assertion. However, positive assertions are also subject to trust and validation. Provenance is important, and may be a requirement for displaying allergy negation, but it's not specific to negation. This topic remains out of scope for this project.
    2. Use cases introduced by quality measure use case: need to identify actions not taken for cause.
      1. This information should not be specifically created for the measure calculation: if it's important enough for the measure, it should be in the record. QDM models a property, "negation rationale," for recording such causes. Whether such a note automatically excludes a patient from the denominator depends on the design of the rule -- for some rules, there are value sets of valid exclusion kinds.
      2. Furthermore, these reasons are not limited to contraindications; they may include patient refusal.
      3. Note that the reason is distinct from the assertion that the act was not performed.
      4. There was some discussion of identifying whether an act is not done "intentionally." The "reason" property seems to at least offer the ability to identify intentionally omitted acts, and possibly some unintentional. All unintentionally omitted acts would be an infinite set, so we are not concerned with modeling it.

Meeting Outcomes

Actions
  • review examples for completeness, classification for accuracy (all)
  • secure Vocabulary co-sponsorship (Rob H)
  • request involvement from SD & FHIR (Jay)
