Change Requests
Patient Care has now a formal request for change (RFC) page which can be used to request changes in the ballot materials.
Please use this for RFC you have pertaining to Topics, D-MIM, R-MIM, use cases, interactions, walkthrough etc. Those that have been handled by either a motion accepted, and /or models or descriptions being changed are listed under Dispositioned Requests.
Project Priorities
Patient Care has several active projects and some waiting for volunteers to step up and carry on.
- Our main goals are to bring the Domain Message Information Model (D-MIM) to normative ballot in the January 2012 cycle, and following this the 4 core Topics Referral, Acceptance, Record Query and Care Record in the May 2012 cycle (unless we can speed up the work for January).
- Note - this statement is out of date. Need to review and update.
- In addition two active topics include Allergy and Intolerance and Care Plan.
- For Allergy/Intolerance: DAM - 2 ballots completed in 2013. Currently onto Clinical Model DSTU ballot commencing September 2013.
- For Care Plan - Domain Analysis Models (DAM) Informative Ballot 1 in September 2013.
- Beside these more infrastructural parts we are working on the domain content. In principle: a HL7 sound specification of what goes into the Care Record, what can be in the Query, or what goes in the Care Plan.
Two current examples include the DAM for Skin Care and Detailed Clinical Models (DCM) for five frequently used clinical materials.
- Assessment Scales R2 has been balloted for DSTU and the intention is include it in the NE 2014.
All other Topics in the table below are still on our to do list, but will follow our above priorities.
Project Information
Projects: Active Ongoing Status
The following is a list of PCWG projects that are currently active and ongoing. Each project are assigned two project co-leads and are currently working to develop domain analysis models (DAM) or HL7 v3 clinical models, and potentially a set of v3 templates for use in C-CDA or other v3 messaging infrastructures.
Project | Status |
---|---|
Allergy & Intolerance
This topic covers all interactions related to clinically recorded adverse reactions.
|
Active |
Care Plan Project 2012
Care Plan was balloted in 2007 as DSTU. However, a few negative comments had not been resolved and the balloted contents did not achieve DSTU status.
|
Active |
Health Concern
Concern Tracking and Care statements provide a framework for tracking and managing health concerns.
|
Draft PSS approved by PCWG.
|
Projects: Past
Past Projects - with Active and Inactive/Cancelled Status
Other topics the Patient Care TC has defined:
These have their own project numbers, or project scope statements need to be developed and balloted.
- Care Record -- NE 2013
- This topic is completed and published in the normative edition since 2013.
- Care Record Query -- NE 2013
- This topic is completed and published in the normative edition since 2013.
- Care Transfer -- NE 2013
- This topic is completed and published in the normative edition since 2013.
- Care Statement -- the clinical statement version in the D-MIM for patient Care, currently DSTU.
- Will in future versions of Care Provision be replaced by the Clinical Statement CMET A_SupportingClinicalStatement universal (COCT_RM530000UV)
- Care Structures -- currently DSTU
- Needs to be split up in a whole set of different topics to allow finding these in the ballot. Current clustering renders it not findable.
- Concern Tracking -- currently DSTU as part of care structures, to be moved to separate topic level
- Needs new PSS and ID by January 2012 to move to normative
- NOTE:
- Each separate Topic needs a new PSS and separate ID around January 2012 once the D-MIM and first Topics Care Record, Query, Transfer have been brought to ballot.
