PHCR eICR R2 STU1.1 Update Comments

November 2016 - HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Public Health Case Report, Release 1, STU Release 1.1 - US Realm - Available for Comment

This wiki page will support review and feedback for proposed updates to the HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Public Health Case Report, Release 1, STU Release 1.1 - US Realm.

This IG consists of two volumes:

• Volume 1 provides narrative introductory and background material pertinent to this implementation guide, including information on how to understand and use the templates in Volume 2.
• Volume 2 contains the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) templates for this guide along with lists of templates, code systems, and value sets used.

For commenting prior to reconciliation and publication, the STU update Implementation Guide and its related files are available to HL7 members here: Update_for_Comment_CDAR2_IG_PHCASERPT_R2_D1.1_2016DEC.

Example comment:

Name: HL7 Commenter

Item: Volume 2, Template XXXX

Existing wording: CONF: xxxxx-xx SHOULD contain exactly 1..1

Proposed wording: CONF: xxxxx-xx SHALL contain exactly 1..1

Name: Sarah Gaunt

Item: Volume 1: 4.1 Templates and Conformance Conventions

Existing wording: This heading is at the wrong level - it needs to be indented on level so that it is nested under 4.1 Conformance Conventions Used in this Guide

Proposed wording: Indent 4.1 Templates and Conformance Conventions one level so that it is 4.1.1 Templates and Conformance Conventions

Preliminary Disposition: Will fix heading as suggested.

Item: Volume 2: Section 3.14 Travel History

Existing wording: The participant contains a location (either an address or a coded location)

ii. This participantRole MAY contain zero or one [0..1] code, which SHOULD be selected from ValueSet Geographical location history urn:oid:2.16.840.1.114222.4.11.3201 DYNAMIC (CONF:3284-263). Note: Coded value of the location

Figure 52: Travel History - Coded Location Example

Proposed wording: The participant may contain a location as an address.

Reason for proposal: The coding and exchange is simplified with only one approach for travel location, and we suggest using addr and removing the coded location text, constraints, and example.

Name: George Cole

Item: Volume 2: Section 3.14 Travel History

Existing wording: ....ValueSet Geographical location history... (the hyperlink points to a nonexistent bookmark)

Proposed wording: https://phinvads.cdc.gov/vads/ViewValueSet.action?id=9CE75E17-176B-DE11-9B52-0015173D1785

Preliminary Disposition: Persuasive, will update hyperlink to that suggested.

Name: George Cole

Item: Volume 2: Section 3.14 Travel History

Existing wording: 7. SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] effectiveTime (CONF:3284-295). Note: Date(s) spent in the location

Proposed wording: 7. SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] effectiveTime (CONF:3284-295). Note: Date(s) spent in the location, using any format for effectiveTime that is supported by CDA. See Figure 54: effectiveTime Examples

Reason for proposal: Until we saw the examples, we wondered whether or not there were missing constraints on effectiveTime.

Preliminary Disposition: Sarah Gaunt: Persuasive, will change wording to that suggested.

Name: George Cole

Item: Volume 2: Section 3.14 Travel History

Existing wording: The participant contains a location

Question (not suggested change): We were a bit surprised to see Travel as an act with participants containing locations. It is a bit hard to see a country as a participant of an act. So, we just have to ask if other constructs were considered. For example, was coded observation with location as a value considered?

Preliminary Answer: Sarah Gaunt: We based this modeling on a SD listserv discussion from 2014 and a subsequent Kieth Boone blog post (http://motorcycleguy.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/on-process-for-rapid-template.html ). I'll send you the listserv discussion for your reference (hard to reference it here!)
