3Drug model contentJCA

Decision from Copenhagen 2015, that the prescribing use case is not going to be supported. Thus the need for universal restrictions in the DL is not needed at this time.

Questions regarding the names of drug products that contain SOME substances if we disallow the use of universal restrictions:

-          Which concepts have this potential problem?

-          How to construct the FSN to make it unambiguous?

-          If we change the FSN, is it a technical correction or retire and replace? 

 

 
4Assessment instrument responsesJCA

Policy on addition of assessment tool responses to the International edition.

IHTSDO currently accepts "names" of assessment instruments and staging scales; however, there is nothing in the editorial guide that specifically addresses the responses to assessment instrument questions. As many of these are extremely context dependent, being tied specifically to the particular instrument, what should be the policy of IHTSDO to requests to add assessment instrument responses to the International release.

Example: Requests to add responses to Tinetti balance assessment tool

 

 
5EAG self evaluationJCA

The EAG has been asked to do a self evaluation after the first two years of operarion. We need to answer the following questions given that the role of the EAG is advisory.

  1. Are the responsibilities of EAG members clear?
  2. Are the topics that have been discussed relevant to the expectations of the members?
  3. Is the operation of the committee satisfactory?
  4. Does the group feel that it has made substantial progress over the first two years?
  5. Should the EAG be continued for the next year?
 
6Goals for next yearEAGDevelop a set of 1-2 primary goals for the EAG for next year. What are the most important topics the group should attempt to address in the coming year? 
 7Requirement for matching description to FSNJCA

A final proposal to resolve issues around the requirement for matching descriptions for FSN:

1.  SCA will automatically create a matching description to the FSN.
2. Editors will determine whether the matching FSN provides a useful clinical description
3. Useful descriptions will be maintained in the terminology.
4. Those descriptions determined to be not useful will be removed.
5. SCA will present a warning for those concepts where the matching description has been removed, but will not prevent saving the concept.

Disjunctive components

Final agreement

JCA

Review of disjunctive representations:

  1. Use of "+": Combined components, being added as primitive combined concepts as a short term resolution.
  2. Use of "&": Usually used as part of a panel, out of scope for the RII/IHTSDO agreement
  3. Use of "&/or": Under review by RII as potentially erroneous. Out of scope for addition to SNOMED CT.

Impact of this is that a number of LOINC terms become ineligible for addition to SNOMED CT.
