Agenda

• Review cath supplement documentation

    • Chris' text in section 7 around inconsistencies in the existing TF was accepted.
  • The grouping of findings per procedure was illustrated with an example and this was accepted by the group
  • Nick also reviewed the Cath doc with Antje's comments on the EP supplement as they were applicable, updates or open issues were raised to address them.
  • There was a discussion on vocabulary values and the approach to document extensibility, consistent with C-CDA. The value-set will be recast from DYNAMIC to STATIC. The ability to extend is captured in the fact that the data type of the element using the vocabulary is typed as "CWE" - Coded With Extension. The approach has been highlighted as a closed issue.
