Specimen CMT - potential pilot sites	IA PHL - would like to ensure that envrionmental is covered in the long-term, but open to review the content LIS vendors EHR-s vendors Terminology Services = reached out to Clincial Architecture IVD vendors to help promote the use? Type your action, use '@' to assign to someone. Andrea will see, if she can use the Specimen CMT content in their cancer project and report back
Specimen CMT - tracking implementation impact Setting baseline Define metrics	Setting baseline Some ideas: Like the idea of ONC survey: of physicians / surgeons / other providers that collect specimen - focus on collection procedure, speicmen type, source site of labs to see what they can receive AND what they can send out to PH / cancer registries etc Maybe ask APHL to ensure coverage of PHLs Maybe ask ASCP / CAP specifically for pathology labs Check on coverage of specimen terms in EPIC system during connectathon for Cancer Reporting FHIR IG? Could the CAP cancer protocol for specimen use the CMT to populate their drop down?
Specimen CMT - Compare to NHS Medical Terminology testing	NOT DISCUSSED
Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions	NOT DISCUSSED
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 in the past - cound re-vive that - and how does that interact with devices (UDI identification?) 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
