Minutes

Resolution of open issues: https://github.com/hl7-be/hl7-be-fhir-laboratory-report/projects/1

  • Issue 98 - accreditation comment
  • what is really required for the Belac accreditation ?
  • do we need a general accr comment for the entire report
  • if we keep the comment on the result level
  • Answers - was already covered before, see all details here and here
  • Belac requires your accr nbr
  • Belac requires info at test level
  • Belac requires to put more info in the "footer" ; behind every test you can put more details
  • experiences abroad: see question in FHIR chat - CLIA in the US, see here
  • Issue 103 - DNA info :
  • add it to note to BeLaboratroyObservation level
  • validate tomorrow with UZ Gent on 23/3
  • Issue 105 - microbiology reporting :
  • it is in the scope of the pilot
  • structured microbiology lab reporting might be very difficult for some lab/LIS vendors
  • for some labs it would require a big change in the microbiology reporting
  • it is not an official viewpoint of the vendors
  • blob is a an option until the lab is ready for structured microbiology (the labs will need a lot of time for this change)
  • receiver will be able to parse it but not be able to save it in a unstructured way ; might not be a big problem
  • structured microbiology reporting is possible and the pilot has a proposal/way of working
  • does Belgium will only do this in an unstructured way ? no, structured microbiology reporting should be looked into as this is valuable
  • how many Snomed CT codes are needed ? it seems that there are +/- 200
  • there will have to be in the implementation guide
  • WG decision: if the string value for the result field contains a new line character the content should be rendered in a non-proportional font. This will be added to the guidance.
  • New issue: plan is to have a new release of the FHIR core resources
  • canonical url's of the core elements will change
  • does this FHIR group want to use the new/future version that will be released in the upcoming weeks, i.e. evolve to the 2.X.X version of the Belgian Profiles Standards
  • WG does not want take a decision now
  • To be checked: note field at diagnostic report level available in latest FHIR impl guide ?
  • Info only: the GP softs part of the pilot will have 2 more months to import the structured FHIR lab reports once the FHIR profile is frozen
  • Philippe Cauchie has shared a table with codes for micro organisms Snomed CT after the meeting re. microbiology

Agenda for next meeting:

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

Next Meeting - on Tuesday April 19 at 4PM as the Easter break is coming up - if plenty of new issues arise we'll meet also on April 12
