Welcome to the HL7 Patient Care WG Wiki!

Welcome to the Patient Care Work Group Wiki Site.The Patient Care WG is chartered to define messages to support the needs for communicating information regarding the creation, management, execution and the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic care. This wiki page is for facilitation of ongoing discussions. Please see the hl7 website for more information about the patient care TC

NOTE: the wiki page of Patient Care is under construction. Not all links to following wiki pages are working. But we are working on this.

Please also look in the general document section, due to upload problems in minutes sections, some minutes e.g. Phoenix May 2008 are placed in general.

Project Information

Project	Status
Allergy & Intolerance This topic covers all interactions related to clinically recorded adverse reactions. Finish the work from the ballot resolution on the Allergy/Intolerance topic and have it published as DSTU. Project ID 174 Project contact: Stephen Chu; stephen.chu@nehta.gov.au	Active
Pressure Ulcer Prevention This topic covers pressure ulcer risk assessment and interventions. The project will develop a Domain Analysis Model based on work performed by the Kaiser-Permanente US Department of Veterans Affairs collaboration. Project contact: Jay Lyle; jay@lyle.net	Active
Health Concern Concern Tracking and Care statements provide a framework for tracking and managing health concerns. Finish the ballot resolutions for Health Concern Health Concern is in Ballot reconciliation phase, about half has been tackled in Atlanta Sept 2009. Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Care Plan Topic & Ordersets The Care Plan structure is used to define the management action plans for the various concerns identified for the target of care. It is the structure in which the care planning for all individual professions or for groups of professionals can be organized, planned and checked for completion. Care Plan is Draft. Project Contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Care Plan Initiative project 2011 Care Plan has been balloted some years ago as DSTU. However, it was felt at that time that more work needed to be done in defining care plan, the components of the care plan, identifying use cases and use. The plan for 2011 is to first develop a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) for the Care Plan, and then decide on follow on activities. The HDF 1.5 (HL7 development framework) approach will be followed. HL7 PC will build on the material and knowledge of various groups to develop the DAM. Project contact: André Boudreau, a.boudreau@boroan.ca or Laura Heermann Langford, Laura.Heermann@imail.org	New PSS and Project ID needed before moving any material to ballot
Care Plan Topic project Care Plan has been balloted some years ago as DSTU. However, it was felt at that time that more work needed to be done in defining care plan, the components of the care plan, identifying use cases and use. The plan for 2010 is to complete the contents of Care Plan. HL7 PC will work together with: HL7 Structured Documents WG IMIA-NI IHE For the content of this DSTU material. project ID 651 Project contact: Rosemary Kennedy, rkennedy@qualityforum.org or Laura Heermann Langford, Laura.Heermann@imail.org	Active
Care Provision D-MIM Project ID 284 Project contact: william Goossen, wgoossen@results4care.nl|
Care Composition This material has fulfilled ballot DSTU requirements. See package V3_PC_CARECOMP_R1_D3_2009SEPreconciliationAll.xls Work is underway to update it and to file for the ANSI status. More will be included later or page will be moved to current ballot materials. Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Assessment Scales The aim of this release is to provide a generic template based on the clinical statement pattern for use with almost all scores systems and assessment scales. Therefore, it provides a framework for use in messages and documents. Finish the work from the ballot resolution on the Assessment Scales topic and have it published as DSTU. Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Detailed Clinical Models The underlying assumption for a standard on Detailed Clinical Models is that to use, exchange and reuse data, and to obtain meaningful information from it for each purpose, data need to be handled consistently. This consistent use is required on both the mono and multidisciplinary health professional level. Project ID 320 Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Detailed Clinical Model instance construction Five examples where balloted in september 2010. Patient care is currently working on the reconciliations Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Detailed Clinical Model guidelines for creation The DCM guidelines will be entered as soon as the ISO standard is finished. Please mail to the patient care list if you think it takes too long :-) Plan is to translate a Dutch document covering UML style guide for DCM Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	Active
Domain Analysis Model and Detailed Clinical Models for Medical Devices The intent of this project is to create and maintain one generic Domain Analysis Model and a set Detailed Clinical Model that defines the main concepts of using medical device-related data safely and traceably for patient care. the work is carried out as joint project with HL WG Devices Project contact for patient care:Anneke Goossen; agoossen@results4care.nl project contact for devices: John Rhoads	Active
DAM vs DCM vs SIAF The relationship between a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) and a Detailed Clinical Model (DCM)and how this fits into the Services-Aware Inteoperability Framework (SAIF) Project contact: Michael van der Zel; mvdzel@results4care.nl	Active
Safe Patient Handling The safe lifting and movement of patients, known as Safe Patient Handling (SPH), is a major concern for hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitative facilities, and home healthcare workers. In order to protect patients and keep nursing staff healthy, many facilities are implementing SPH programs. Project contact: William Goossen; wgoossen@results4care.nl	On Hold pending input of project scope statement from requester.
