Question from CLSI

Working on a document for proper collection of respiratory specimens for microbiology testing and one of our member shared the coding below with us. https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/1915519082/How-To-Collect-NMT-Specimen-for-COVID-19.pdf?api=v2

She has a number of concerns about the coding, the tests and what we are calling the specimen collection. Here is the link for SNOMED Coding: https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/?perspective=full&conceptId1=181203001&edition=MAIN/2023-03-31&release=&languages=en

Example: Anterior nares (both anterior nares) which makes since sense since both sides should be sampled.

Example: middle turbinate instead of mid-turbinate.

Lab Test Naming Conventions

Andrea planing this

  • SHIELD call topic (maybe June 13)

    • TRUU Lab

    • LOINC

Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions

Specimen CMT - Hosting Options

 

Specimen CMT - education

 

Specimen CMT - potential pilot sites

  • Goal is to have some implementers lined up by April - so who to reach out to?

Specimen CMT - tracking implementation impact

  • Setting baseline

  • Define metrics

  • Setting baseline

Specimen CMT - Compare to NHS Medical Terminology testing

 

Future projects for this call after CMT

  • 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

Quick decisions not requiring context or tracking

For quick, smaller decisions that do not require extra context or formal tracking, use the “Add a decision…” function here.

    Decisions requiring context or tracking

    For decisions that require more context (e.g., documentation of discussion, options considered) and/or tracking, use the decision template to capture more information.
