Minutes

• 1st hour
  • Agenda review
  • Feedback on APSR example and specimen section

• Some rendering issues with the example – Riki to send her feedback to Francois and Gunter
• Use eCC as a means to create content to promote the adoption of APSR 2.0
• Add example to the wiki page
• Looking for feedback from vendors on starting to test
• Outreach to vendors in Germany
• Interoperability Council in Germany meeting is tomorrow
• French vendors are smaller companies
• Would be good to use APSR 2.0 as a basis for re-design of Pathology LIS

 

• Agenda items for May F2F
• SET
• LCC
• LSH
• APSR 2.0
• White paper
• New release of TF based on CRs (just a few) – to be published in June 2017
• Digital Pathology workflow – Raj will reach out to at least get a status update
• Transfusion medicine workflow
• Remote participation will be provided by JAHIS

 

• SNOMED CT candidate concepts for the IHE free subset for free use in the standard for publication
• Example DICOM has MOU for 7,300 terms that systems can use
• Also being discussed for HL7 International
• Also with IHE International – reactivated now, so
• for PaLM Francois started collecting list of concepts
• needs to be a flat list (no relationships / hierarchies can be used)
• Have these areas covered:
• blood group results
• laterality of anatomic site
• qualitative lab results
• some descriptors about type of diagnosis / type of tests
• Micro is too big to add (>55k)
• Clinical information that pathologists expect as part of orders
• Pregnancy status, chronic diseases, travel, treatment…
• Suggested new domains:
• Scott Campbell’s list harmonized for dealing with genomic related – these will be in NM ref set – are currently using the University of Nebraska namespace – keep this for the later version UNTIL they are in the core release of SNOMED CT
• Specimen terms (at least the ones we have crossmapped from HL70487 – check with HTA if they are working on it ; start with these codes (there is some that still have to be updated / added  will add those after – still reviewing that) see:  http://build.fhir.org/conceptmap-example-specimen-type.html

 

• In 2009 we published a paper – Standards to support Information systems in Anatomic Pathology – can we ADD THE LINK TO IT
• See Raj’s slides
• Support digital AP workflow into the LIS
• Review the diagram and
• Invite European vendors involved in digital pathology and participate at F2F in May
• Aspects of imaging – glass slide / gross pathology
• Include meta data etc
• Have great examples in Sweden’s set up
