Meeting Notes
- Review of EP Analysis by Anthony and Chris
- Goal is to come up with a plan on how to proceed with the EP supplement
- Review is based on existing supplement, key data elements and report samples
- Approach was to structurally map key data elements to content modules of CRC
- Three areas of structural changes needed
- Needs to be filled in
- Modelling needs to take into account the following aspects:
- different procedure types
- EP Study
- Device implant, explant, replacement
- Lead revision, extraction
- Ablation
- Cardioversion
- Device Implant and Ablation seem to be the most commonly performed procedures
- During an ablation procedure the steps performed may change based on observations during procedure
- Granularity of procedure vs procedure activity procedure
- Modeling of ICD devices and leads. Are leads separate devices
- Support for different graphic types like ECG or 3D anatomic maps
- different procedure types
- Options to develop a profile
- Minimal narative option (procedure description and results will be narrative text only)
- Coded procedure results and findings, but narrative procedure description
- Completly coded
- Decision
- Since the narative options is the least interoperable solution the committee unanimously voted to submit a new profile proposal for the next cycle based on the information from this analysis
- Action Items
- Antje to provide templates for short and detailed proposal for Anthony/Chris
- Chris to upload analysis results to FTP server in current year directory
- Anthony and Chris to submit a detailed proposal for a 2012/2013 worktitem
- Paul Dow to send out Call for work item proposals
