Minutes

Agenda Review

1st hour

• Housekeeping: Validation of PaLM report at next Board call (Mary, François)
  • Have presented the PaLM report on the DCC call, is on agenda for tomorrow’s Board meeting – Raj presenting, Mary also attending, mention expansion of the PaLM domain as we accepted that new proposal
• https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vjX0lYn4xVEVynpoelvLRe_TzXD5KJ2EyDEQ6WIY0w0/edit#gid=1920926816 General publication schedule for 2017 (François)
  • The 4 supplements in this schedule are:
    • LCC profile
    • SET profile
    • LSH profile
    • APSR 2.0

• Review of new profile "Blood Product Coordination" proposal for the 2017-2018 cycle (Riki + Dan)
  • Joint effort at EPIC and MIPS and Duke
    • Parts of the blood transfusion workflow, coordination clinical LIS, blood bank LIS and clinical EMR:
      • for account number matching
      • messages to use for status progression from the blood bank
      • messages for corrections and when to issue those
    • Duke just put a paper with use cases together that can be used as basis (e.g. rare AB in patients for example)
    • For Netherlands focus on:
      • final step when blood bank product is sent from lab to transfusion location
      • Product administration = transfusion has been started or blood bag returned to lab (status codes; have transfusion completed and in progress, but not a begin or hold; also share end time)
      • Product management – a lot of blood bank software can electronically dispense into remote refrigerator and then it needs to get picked up and then be able to do electronic crossmatch between the LIS – refrigerator and handheld at time of dispense
      • Exclude clear supply transactions (how much units vs patient specific units) – may be anything eligible for crossmatching and dispensing
    • Important to emphasize is notion of communication of statuses and event and allergies (rare blood type, difficult blood matching expected) – similar to the genetic tests that affect medication dispense = pharmacogenetics – so these are stable lab results that should stay accessible to the docs
    • For the first pass focus on the administration and status piece to get market support
    • External communication for blood product for a specific patient and what happened to it once dispensed
    • Prefer starting with use case 2 – 4 and then go to 1, if we want to at a later time
    • Supplement development – all into the same profile or into different profiles – review the use cases and make decision based on each one
      • Items 3 and 4 are one use case – both from admin system to blood bank
      • Item 2 flesh out with auto dispense (not inventory and re-ordering supply)
      • Item 1 separately as well
    • How does medical staff know how many units are available and when that availability expires – covered by 1a
    • This will affect the scope of our domain and so we will need to update that – it has been mentioned to the DCC and will bring up as part of the report to the IHE board
    • Motion to accept this proposal and Francois, JD, further discussion: would it be worthwhile to communicate that we are working on this to seek out more experts – yes will need to get Haemonetics, Mediware, and another European and Asian company (Raj can reach out to Haemonetics) will reach out to transfusion medical folks know – yes that is important, prepare communication to go out based on this proposal, once proposal is on the website against: 0, abstain: 0, all in favor

• APSR 2.0 update (Gunter)
  • See slides
  • Slide 4 – if you are grossing a specimen and cut them into smaller pieces and then create derivatives form each of the  - would we ever need to have one producer ties to multiple specimen – that is covered by creating separate instances – all will have the same performer - the specific participant PRD = child specimen after the preparation; participant CSM = consumable (for additive; e.g. 10% buffered formalin)
  • Do we need more than one parent specimen for a child – yes
  • For Raj’s example Francois and Gunter came up with 2 valid versions of the representation
    • First pass had a lot of errors and those have ALL been corrected
  • Will need more examples – have receives breast and lymph node excision example from Raj – working through that

• Proposal of a digital pathology session during EU Connectathon in Venice (Francesca)

 

2nd hour

• LCC review (Riki, Jim)
  • Describe the new OBX and then express that the rest follows vol 2.x to avoid duplication of specification – this also applies to the ORC and other segments
  • Will have updated version sent out for more detailed review on the February call
• Microbiology guide: Update on comments (Laurent)
  • Riki sent comments back
  • Some are directed to the content of the guide to be more international
  • Laurent reviewed the LRI content and noticed some differences and so shared this with Riki for submission to LRI ballot which has been done – will wait for reconciliation, which is the last one of the lab guides to be done (LRI has about 700 comments, LOI about 200, eDOS about 80 – we are 64% done with those already)
  • Will see what LRI will accept and we may want to have a CP to harmonize the TF as well as the micro guide – will have to see if this works, even if it is not exactly what the French version is doing; can also bring this back to France for implementation consideration
  • Make the English version the international version based on the French guide
  • Any other comments, please send to Laurent
• SET update – Alessandro
  • Working on the blood banking use case and will share the Vol 1 document on the google group and bring back up for approval on Feb call – plan 30 min minimum for this
  • First draft for Vol 2 also for Feb call with options of message types to use, so we can decide the message type

Next call is 2/8 - will plan on 2 hours
