Upcoming OOO		APHL week: 7/17-21
Previous Action Items
Reporting Biomarkers to Cancer registries
Lab Test Naming Conventions		Andrea planning this SHIELD call topic (maybe June 13) TRUU Lab LOINC
Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions
Specimen CMT - Hosting Options		How can we publish the content in the dB? Allow access somehow to query the dB as access or excel Using FHIR conceptMap similar to https://build.fhir.org/conceptmap-example-specimen-type.html - based on this profile: https://build.fhir.org/conceptmap.html 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 https://build.fhir.org/conceptmap-example-specimen-type.xml.html . 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.
Specimen CMT - education
Specimen CMT - potential pilot sites		Goal is to have some implementers lined up by April - so who to reach out to? Review where we are: Vendor Connections - updated some notes there
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
