  • George Cole
  • Lisa Nelson
  • Chris Melo

• Changed the colors on the CareTeamFlow_chronicCOndition vsd diagram to match the chronic condition story board care team summarization analysis - see [1]here for these documents
• Ideally there should be Sub care teams with an overall team. Need to support - see submitted FHIR Change request with supporting documentation - 11342 [2]
  • Condition-focused team may span multiple episodes
  • Need to have care team referencing other care teams - gforge item submitted to support this.
  • Need to have the same structure as care plan
  • Need Care team relationship
  • Share care team is a view that would make up a representative of the overarching care team for the patient and will be able to get at a shared care team structure.
  • Will be able to get to the sub teams from the care plan.
• Should we pick one from the green set and one from the yellow set? - see slide 3 of [here]
• Need some use cases - encode the rules by picking one from the green list and one from the yellow list.
• Lisa: main use case is to be able to take people off a team when the provider is no longer providing care- if need to ask the machine who was on the care team for the purpose of coordinating care and in the context of value-based care - who's getting paid to take care of you, need to be consistent - payor need
• If condition changes need to have a current care team that provides effective care - clinical need - care coordination
• Will share "Care team" references with Stephen Chu - [3]

• Action Items
  • Payer - need brief examples of when Payer will need types of care teams
  • Clinical - need brief examples of when clinical will need types of care teams
  • IT - - need brief examples of when systems will need types of care teams
  • Care coordination - - need brief examples of when care coordination will need types of care teams

Use Case discussion

• How are care team members removed from the care team? Reason for the question is to determine boundary [added to open issue list]
  • If episode-focused, When the episode is over
  • If encounter-focused, When the encounter is over
  • If condition focused, when the condition is resolved
  • If care coordination focused - when the provider takes himself off the care team
  • people can get off the care team either manually or in an automated way. If automated, need to build in exceptions, need to consider business rules with decision logic.
• what's the scope of an episode?
  • Concept of episode is used in chronic care - where the episode is a continuum
  • In acute care, the episode is like encounters
  • this is a definitional issue, RIM specific topic.
• Is there multiple care team resources tied to the patient or is there multiple versions of care team resource?
  • Functionally, even in a single episode, there can be multiple care teams. If the teams operate concurrently, is determined by the patient condition. These types of clinical work flow should be determine.
  • Single instances can nest the care team and have multiple instances
  • Care plan has a referenced to the multiple care teams
