Welcome & Apologies
JCA welcomed everyone.
Conflicts of Interest/Approval of minutes
None that were new. Approval of minutes put off until next call.
Review of drugs, products and substances
TMO showed some slides.
Substances
TMO said approximately 100 concepts representing role had been retired from the Substance Hierarchy because they were showing erroneous relationships and presenting other problems.
The activation of the new Authoring Tool meant that it was hard to retire concepts so some of that had been postponed until the July 2016 Release.
LOINC had been doing some interesting QA of substances, so that was providing some clean-up work.
Drug Model
TMO said the RFPs were published on the web and had passed the close date. IGR said it was a 2-week turn around.
JCA asked if Option 4 should be reconsidered.
There was a discussion of using algorithms to handle the changes that would be needed.
- JCA said the action would be to talk with Yongsheng Gao on his view on the impact of both of the laterality options on the anatomy model.
