Agenda review and approval1332 - 1335hJim Case

ECE Update1335 - 1420hBruce Goldberg
  • Follow-up discussion of injury, traumatic and non-traumatic

Injury_damage_traumatic_nontraumatic.pptx

EAG agreed that use of DUE TO Event was a preferred way to represent "Traumatic injury"

Additional discussion on approach to handle "non-traumatic injury" needed

  • Secondary disorders

Secondary disorders including gout caused by drug.pptx

Qry_Bruce usage report.xlsx

  • BGO to test use of GCIs to represent "Secondary disease"
  • BGO to test alternative model for gout removing the relationship to hyperuricemia.

Clinical content "Sources of truth"1420 - 1500h
  • Need to revisit the policy on adding text definitions from other sources
    • Do we need to reference them if we paraphrase?
  • Combined definitions from multiple sources may be required to fulfill the needs of SNOMED
  • SNOMED definitions are not normative, but used to define the meaning of a concept as represented in SNOMED CT.

Break1500 - 1530h




Product role discussion 1530 - 1600hToni Morrison
  • Recognized that some product roles are needed to define other procedures and clinical findings
  • Those needed existing roles can be temporarily modeled using additional axioms
  • Warning language that this is a temporary situation while a more permanent solution is devised will be communicated to the community of practice, MF, CMAG, User-support group and GA(?)
  • Toni Morrison - to inactivate product roles that are not used to define other concepts.
  • Toni Morrison to work with KKU to develop a communication plan for existing product roles

Device project introduction1600 - 1615hToni MorrisonSee slides attached

Historical association refset1615 - 1700h
  • Consideration of addition of "Withdrawn"
  • Concept Inactivation
  • From prior discussion, things you can say about an inactivated concept
    • 1..1 exact match - SAME AS
    • 1..X same as one or more concepts - MAY BE
    • Subtype of - WAS A
    • What is the use case for REPLACED BY? For erroneous concepts, out of date concepts? Does it provide additional value to make this distinction?
      • SAME AS: A = B, B = A
      • REPLACED BY: A <> B ?
    • Need to ensure that the semantic granularity is similar for "replacement" concepts.
    • How do we ensure consistent usage? Tooling currently constrains associations allowed for specific inactivation types
    • Do AMBIGUOUS concepts require 2..X MAY BE historical relationships?
    • MOVED TO and MOVED FROM needs to reflect RF2 structures (i.e. modules as opposed to namespaces)
    • WAS A relationships can be constructed from the release files
    • Are additional historical relationships needed to fill gaps in retrieval or analysis?
    • Concepts inactivated without a historical relationship (i.e. non-conformance to editorial policy) have an implied WAS A
  • Three aspects need to be considered:
    • Consistent historical relationship assignment by authors
    • Guidance for users to correctly use these relationship
    • From a QA perspective, cleanup of existing relationship to improve internal consistency
  • Should this be partially addressed by derivatives?

Discussion

  • Audiences that need to be supported by improved historical relationships:
    • Content editors - selection of proper historical associations when inactivating or moving concepts.

    • Data analysts who need a comprehensive history mechanism for traceability and data healing.

    • Implementors who need to know how to replace concepts that are either changed or moved or something else.

    • End user clinician who is trying to record something and all of a sudden his favorite concept has disappeared.
