Upcoming OOO

  • Riki 5/4 - 5/12

Reporting Biomarkers to Cancer registries

 not discussed

Lab Test Naming Conventions

Andrea planing this

  • SHIELD call topic (maybe June 13)

    • TRUU Lab

    • LOINC

Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions

  • Tissue_Duodenum

    • added micro term

  • EarSwab

    • needs link to procedure - an’t find anytihgn on google, so ignore

  • EndometriumSwab

    • add pathology term

  • Specimen rom Endometrium

    • need to make sure we have all the MAP_TO tems

  • Jejunal Tissue_Biopsy

    • there are a few ways

      • endoscopy

      • surgical procedure

      • Crosby Capsule

      • so no specific procedure to link to, but have link for

  • Lymphnode should not have “lymph”e”

  • nail

    • for micro usually only use nail scrapings, so shcne PHLIPPReferred name and use the pre-ccodrinfate SCT term

  • FallopianTubeCytologicalMaterial

    • check for corresponding term - not sure where outside of pathoogy this would be needed

  • FetalCytologicMaterial

    • check for corresponding term - not sure where outside of pathoogy this would be needed

  • PeritonealDialystate

    • no need to change the SCT FSN

  • Plasma_SodiumFloride_Potassium_EDTA

    • should be fully defined

  • Plasma_SodiumFloride_EDTA

    • should be fully defined

  • RectalSwab

    • ned to pull out the definiton and collection description from the listed reference

  • HeartValveTissue

    • add pathology term

  • Tonsil

    • Ask Nancy

  • CleanCatchMidvoidUrine

    • update to SNOMED FSN

  • CystFluid_Nodule

    • ask Nancy why this is discouraged

  • AbscessAspirate has duplicate

    • use wound grouper

    • Also use wound grouper terms defintion

  • BiteWound has a lot of duplicates

Specimen CMT - Hosting Options

not discussed

Specimen CMT - education

not discussed

Specimen CMT - potential pilot sites

not discussed

Specimen CMT - tracking implementation impact

  • Setting baseline

  • Define metrics

not discussed

  • Setting baseline

Specimen CMT - Compare to NHS Medical Terminology testing

 not discussed

Future projects for this call after CMT

not discussed

  • 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

jejunal biopsyQUICK REFERENCERemoval of a piece of the lining (mucosa) of the upper small intestine. This can be done by a surgical operation but is usually performed by an enteroscope or less usually a special metal capsule (Crosby capsule), swallowed by the patient. When the capsule is in the jejunum a small knife within it is triggered by suction on an attached tube, cutting off a small piece of mucosa. The specimen is then examined microscopically to assist in the diagnosis of coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease, Whipple’s disease, or intestinal infections, or its enzyme content may be measured chemically to detect, for example, lactase deficiency.
