CAP Today Article Update | Next steps: |
Review Working Groups progress | Setting milestones for deliverables should be NEXT for WGs: they will be captured here: SHIELD WG Deliverables and Milestone Grid Laboratory Interoperability Data Registry (LIDR) Working Group Outline of White paper completed in Dec. Working on draft for Q1, Q2 publication WG working on coding in Spreadsheet for Potassium example
IVD Data Hub Standards Updates and Vocabulary Working Group Communications and Branding Working Group Met last week. Moving process forward with CAP Today Article. Kevin Schap checking on some things. What questions are for interviewees? Outline SHIELD’s goals/highlights Recruiting other industry stakeholders/participants Overview of SHIELD, how it alligns with other organizations in the interoperability space, key deliverables (e.g. LIDR), clear vision/mission, how can lab professionals help Collateral: flyer, etc. What is SHIELD, What does SHIELD do, What stakeholder group do you represent, How can SHIELD benefit, What can labs do to prepare for inteoperability in future?
Recommendations for stakeholders for interview IVD representation: Xavier and/or NIck SHIELD leadership: Riki and/or Andrea Pathologist/Laboratory: Hung Lab Organizations: Raj Standards Organizations: Marjorie and/or Eza Commercial Labs: Eric Crugnale Government: Keith

LOINC Chairs Meeting (1/11/2024) | Discussed Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) as cross-cutting topic: This followed a Pre/Post coordination discussion across all committees on the agenda; nursing and radiology have much different needs than lab when it comes to pre/post coordination BUT a solution needs to be applicable for all areas of LOINC PGHD example: Medicare patient who’s kidney function monitored for decadse, sent home urinalysis kit. http://Healthy.IO Insurer followed up several times when they hadn’t complied. Different Information Flow is observed Seems to be recorded through Insurer database for patient; not necessarily including the medical record from dr office notes or from laboratory reporting to inpatient/outpatient records LOINC used in HEDIS ; more of an administrative use case for physician care over their patient populations. Lab LOINC’s post around National Kidney Foundation question about microalbumin/creatinine home kit being used to satisfy a quality/ HEDIS measure. (Resolution: qualitative results reported, incorrect LOINCused/didn’t meet quality reporting criteria.) Awaiting 2024 task force discoveries cross-cutting within LOINC committees (NEXT STEPS below).
FDA is approving these devices, but appears IVD vendors are not requesting LOINCs for these new test methods. Many IVD vendors not yet providing LOINC maps in LIVD format. FDA, ONC / USCDI, standards development future impacts? HL7 FHIR PGHD Implementation Guide is for consumer performed testing reported to public health
Would be helpful for FDA to know more about how many LOINC requests are mahttps://projectlifedashboard.hl7.org/specifications/hl7-fhir-us-home-lab-report-v0-1-0/de from IVD vendors versus not? Need more than just the LOINC code, need UDI and additional information. USCDI, UDI, and LIDR needed. How to convey UDI in Auto 16 and communicating that information flow to LIS. UDI from manufacturer. IVD device and LIS Discussion on requiring a UDI in USCDI and implementation aspects industry not able to capture currently, transmit, etc. process for operational/implementation Although ways to convey UDI in IHE-LAW, not do-able today. EUAs and UDIs. Good Starting discussion for Data Hub Workgroup. More than one UDI, may be complex. Need to roadmap to avoid failure.
Intent/where are we going? simple vs complex results some folks not familiar with UDIs
USCDI aspects. Encourage folks to add comments on USCDI so captured/visible on healtit.gov website. Share any documentation/evidence with Sara/website.

Roadmap section updates in response to ONC comments on the SHIELD roadmap | The roadmap mission section describes a broad vision of lab interoperability. However, the roadmap proposed solution is limited to the FDA use cases around In-vitro diagnostics (IVD) data, specifically populating the IVD data hub. ONC suggests clearly describing the roadmap scope so the proposed solutions can be discussed within that context.
Looking for volunteer to tackle this re-write: Reordering the Considerations and moving the IVD Data hub last and renaming the section to “Making Well Standardized Data Available for Secondary Use” - we could then list as a first use case the IVD data hub, but we could expand this section with other uses we described under the business drivers and expand more on what each individual stakeholder can do to improve interoperability in the section on moving data through the systems The roadmap identifies training and education needs around using LOINC as a barrier to interoperability. ONC suggests clarifying how the roadmap addresses this barrier. ONC recognizes that terminologies require training and education, and replacing LOINC with another standard will not address the barrier.
Update from Standards and Vocab WG about re-write of this section There are several solutions proposed, including repositories and tools, which need to be further evaluated before ONC could fully support the roadmap. ONC suggests the roadmap be updated to include details around feasibility, scalability and how the proposed changes can be integrated into the current laboratory ecosystem (e.g., regulation and industry).
Renaming of LIDR update from LIDR WG: Looking for volunteer to tackle this re-write: For each of the Consideration sections we could certainly add a section on feasibility / requirements (e.g. continued funding for LIDR, better describing the intended use of ANY data element added, overall goal of LIDR, clearly delineate what is commonly used and is minimum, provide best practice and alternatives (non-preferred) - example would be metadata around the value sets in VSAC (curation / usage etc) to be able to ascertain quality) and highlight that other mechanisms are needed to achieve for adoption |
