Minutes

Context: since the publication of the profile mid September by eHealth platform, some new issues have been raised

Resolution of open issues: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues

• Issue 165: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/165

• quick win for the visualizer: when opening the Service request when showing the file
• please note that the visualiser is not part of the HL7 FHIR standard and its rework as such is not eligible for this kind of meeting

• Issue 164: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/164

• add postal codes to visualiser
• please note that the visualiser is not part of the HL7 FHIR standard and its rework as such is not eligible for this kind of meeting

• Issue 163: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/163

• a lab can have different activity centers but only 1 RIZIV number
• has to be dealt with as part of BeOrganisation as part of the core profile

• Issue 162: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/162 - is more a question

• lab results related to blood transfusion
• having a centralized database would be risky
• tests regarding blood transfusions can be dealt with in this profile

• Issue 160: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/160 - is more a question

• our profile is for a diagnostic report - do we need to mention this in the guidance

• Issue 157: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/157 - have logical model

• eHealth platform will reverse engineer technical model to have a logical model and have it reviewed by the clinical biologists - any volunteers are welcomed
• NL has already a logical model

• Issue 144: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/144, raised by Philippe Cauchie on dynamic testing: more info (fro mMIPS) is needed
• Issue 141: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/141, clarification from MIPS is needed
• Issue 139: https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues/139, label from LOINC codes differ from those in RETAM

• loinc numbers will be there, often being RETAM ; a description of the test will be a label that will depend on the lab performing the test, that description will not be the label
• if the LOINC code is a RETAM code then the RETAM description will have to be used
• results will be displayed next to one another, showing the RETAM label - which can be confusing
• RETAM descriptions can be long though although there are short labels
• --> the labs have to ensure to use the same label on the paper record and digital report
• --> it is up to the GP softs to decide what they show when results come form different labs
• this info will have to be included in the guidance

• Open issues

• work on logical model
• is the visualizer part of the standard ? if so, documentation will be necessary

Agenda for next meeting:

• wrap-up and resolution of any open issues if they arise

Next Meeting : TBC - in the upcoming weeks
