Specimen CMT - Progress

https://app.smartsheet.com/sheets/h6JWqw5v9pwvrqWMq9r4g85CXjv9M8VvVqvHRwc1?view=grid

  • Andrea reviewing clinician specimen list

    • Many cancer pathology terms are missing from the Specimen CMT

      • May need to add additional terms to CMT or add guidance to existing terms

    • Issues seen:

      • terms with tumor (brain tumor)

      • specific lymph node (lymph node IV)

      • mixing specimen type/specimen source/procedure in one term

      • adding more qualifier values than what is available in pre-coordinated terms

    • Issues more with how clinicians are specifying specimens than how terms are mapped in SNOMED. Having mapping behind the scenes in EHRs should help

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
