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? Review where we are: https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LMCOPL/pages/1863942201
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
