Specimen CMT - Progress

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

Christina completed her terms, Manjula still working on his terms

there are several that need review - next week

Specimen CMT - Hosting Options

NOT DISCUSSED

Specimen CMT - education

NOT DISCUSSED

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?

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
