Minutes

• Up-to-date list of issues can be consulted here

• Issue 64 & 65: proposed solution of AnnotationCode has been tested and seems ok

• Issue 87: new issue raised by Thibault

• linking requests to multiple specimens
• FHIR int'l specification: cardinality is 0:1 so max 1 specimen - int'l specification cannot be

• add field to put additionalSpecimens
• every lab does this daily so we need to check how this is dealt with internationally
• do we need to link the results to the sample ?

• Issue 86: UCUM vs display value

• unit is the display value, code contains the UCUM unit

• Issue 81: ObservationInterpretation coding system

• limit to HH - H - N - L -LL which is a subset of the indicated codeSystem https://terminology.hl7.org/3.0.0/CodeSystem-v3-ObservationInterpretation.html
• this one can be used now

• Thibault would like to add A and AA to the list - will be added

• the use of Quantity:code is mandatory and will be used by the visualizer, the use of Quantity:unit is optional
• the Guidance will be modified soon

• Issue 83: use of eHealthBox metadata

• not related to FHIR so a N/A issue for this WG

• HC-FunctionalType= "fhir-lab"
• CM-GeneratingSoftware= ""
• CM-GeneratingSoftwareVersion= ""

• Issue 21: still open because it has impact on the LabOrder
