Upcoming OOO

 Yes

• Christina OOO: 2/29

• Riki OOO: 2/29, 3/14

For next week look for email from Amy, if we are having the call

Maybe we will start using https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LMCOPL/calendars and everyone can just keep it updated?

Previous Action Items

 Yes

• Nancy Follow up:

  • EDTA Stopper top

    • EDTA sufficient or do we need to specify K2 or K3?

    • Nancy can review the list in SNOMED from John

    • Need to check on completeness against the Anne/Nancy list (compare with ARUP)

      • Nancy/Anne’s list is 10 years old - may not want to compare with this outdated list and use ARUP and Labcorp lists

      • Raj: I found this at a phlebotomy certification course website: What Color Tubes Are Used for Which Tests in Phlebotomy – PhlebotomyU

        • Here's a nice one-pager (University of Colorado Health): https://www.testmenu.com/universityhospital/TestDirectory/SiteFile?fileName=sidebar\CLNLAB-2020-03-13-Blood-Tube-Color-Chart.pdf

        • Cleveland Clinic: Blood Collection Tubes - Collection | Cleveland Clinic Laboratories

    • https://phlebotomygeeks.yolasite.com/resources/PRINT OUT COMMON TUBES.pdf

      • but color is manufacturer dependent, which is why we named the tubes by the additives

      • there are container types in SNOMED under 706049005 |Blood tube (physical object)|

      • Have a start here: https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/2018312270/ContainertypesListRikiEmailed20171013.xlsx?api=v2

      • K1 or K2 might be important to differentiate

    • We should leave the top color out of it, since that is manufacturer specific

• Amy follow up - check if she has all of these

  • nasal sinus fluid definition

  • surgical insertion site peritonealDialysisTunnelSite

  • surgical insertion site peritonealDialysisSite

• Riki’s Follow up:

  • liquid-based cytology specimen vial = https://us-request.ihtsdotools.org/#/requests/preview/354843?fromList=truehttps://request.ihtsdotools.org/#/requests/edit/786429

  • submit a code for formalin10

  • work with John

    • new term for pacemaker insertion site sample

      • in SCT there are only swabs for insertion sites (line, drain, chest tube, vascular catheter) - this should be fixed

      • we should model it after 435971000124108 | Body fluid specimen from peritoneal dialysis insertion site (specimen) and require method, which should be aspirate

    • For wound modeling (see 2023-11-30 LabMCoP Meeting Notes ) create a few pre-coordinated specimen terms

      • to cover the wound causes as children under: 119365002 | Specimen from wound (specimen)

      • another child term for aspirate under 445611000124106 | Specimen from bite wound (specimen), since that is preferred over the existing swab

    • IDSA has a guidelines for wound cultures (deep and superficial - related to surgical wounds) - link sent to Amy

    • 460621000124104 |Superficial surgical incision wound (morphologic abnormality)| - created in US extension in 2019. Is this needed? If so, then LabMCoP/APHL should promote it to SNOMED International to retain US SNOMED identifier. John will submit this to be promoted.

      • SNOMED guidance related to morphological abnormality: Morphologic Abnormalities vs. Findings - SNOMED CT Editorial Guide - SNOMED Confluence

Modeling donor organs / parts

Yes

• Outreach out to Jane Pollack (jpollack@nmdp.org) at NMDP. was successful - schedule call for this topic - waiting for answer on what date will work

  • Nancy/Amy to reach out to Jane Pollack

  • Another contact: Scott A. Brubaker Division of Human Tissues, Office of Cellular Therapy and Human Tissue CMC, Office of Therapeutic Products, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, Maryland, USA - Nancy will reach out via email

    • Incomplete tissue product tracing during an investigation of a tissue-derived tuberculosis outbreak - ScienceDirect

• Should we make pre-coordinated terms, or support use of type modifiers?

ADJOURNED

Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions

 No

Specimen CMT pilot implementers

Yes

• Review where we are: Vendor Connections

  • no update

Specimen CMT - Hosting Options

 No

• How can we publish the content in the dB?

  • Allow access somehow to query the dB

  • as access or excel or csv

  • Using FHIR conceptMap similar to Conceptmap-example-specimen-type - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild - based on this profile: ConceptMap - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild

  • riki.merrick to ask Eric if he still has that or how he built it:

  • ANSWER FROM ERIC:

    • if you look in the xml source Conceptmap-example-specimen-type.xml - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild . you can see how it is mapped. 

    • I am not sure if you mean the table rendering or creating the concept map from a spreadsheet or CSV file.  The FHIR build tool did the table rendering for that mapping, I think I entered the data by hand, or Grahame did it. It would not be hard to create a script to create a concept map from an excel or csv file if needed.  The table needs to be large enough to make it worthwhile though. you could even create formula cells in the spreadsheet to generate the XML or json for each item. and then copy to a text editor and append to the Metadata fields.

Future projects for this call after CMT

 No

• In general the call is intended as a forum for ANY messaging related issues to work out.

• In the past we have

  • reviewed containers re-vive that - and how does that interact with devices (UDI identification?)

  • review code systems around additives (HL70371 and SCT substance and product hierarchies)

  • started work on cross-mapping between HL7 method codes and SNOMED CT procedure / technique concepts

    • American College of Surgeons is working on procedure protocol and synoptic data elements / surgical synoptic reports - we could work with them together on that
