Previous Action Items

• Modeling exposures on wounds (organ donors)

  • Have new contact at NMDP Jane Pollack (Bob Milus retired)

  • Example modeling

• Nancy Follow up <ADD ANY INFO FROM EMAILS SHARED LAST WEEK!!!!>:

  • ComboCytologicalMaterialfromEndocervixEctocervixVaginalFormix

  • ComboCytologicalMaterialfromEndocervixEctocervixVaginalFormixSlide

  • need reference to thin prep (request new term with parent cytology specimen container (physical object) for liquid-based cytology container)

  • More info on retracting pus

  • Scotchtape prep (scoth tape swab from Mike Miller’s book)

  • nasal sinus fluid definition

• Riki’s Follow up:

  • modeling exposure (wounds) - check when both Jim and John could join

  • need a new term for pacemeker insertion site sample

    • in SCT there are only swabs for insertion sites (line, drain, chest tube, vascular catherther) - this should be fixed

    • we should model it after 435971000124108 | Body fluid specimen from peritoneal dialysis insertion site (specimen) and require method, which should be aspirate

• Open homework EDTA Stopper top

  • https://phlebotomygeeks.yolasite.com/resources/PRINT OUT COMMON TUBES.pdf

    • but color is manufacturer dependent, whihc is why we named the tubes by the additives

    • there are container types in SNOMED under 706049005 |Blood tube (physical object)|

    • Need to check on completeness against the Anne/Nancy list

    • Have a start here: https://aphlinformatics.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/2018312270/ContainertypesListRikiEmailed20171013.xlsx?api=v2

    • K1 or K2 might be important to differentiate

USCDI v5 comments

United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)

• Had call with Maria Michaels, Nancy and Manjula - working on better cooridnation within CDC and with parnters - will set up recurring calls well prior to next comment period

Reporting Biomarkers to Cancer registries

National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) | CDC

Sandy will put together a one-pager

Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions

Specimen CMT pilot implementers

• Review where we are: Vendor Connections

Specimen CMT - Hosting Options

• How can we publish the content in the dB?

  • Allow access somehow to query the dB

  • as access or excel or csv

  • Using FHIR conceptMap similar to Conceptmap-example-specimen-type - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild - based on this profile: ConceptMap - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild

  • 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 Conceptmap-example-specimen-type.xml - FHIR v6.0.0-cibuild . 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 - tracking implementation impact

• Setting baseline

• Define metrics

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
