Meeting Notes

 * Specimen Type Tables: SPM.21 to SPM.24 **
 * Cindy Johns - How would we want to specify in the IG when this field might need to be valued if OBX11 has a space for cancelled?
 * Sheryl Taylor – are we referring to cancelling a test?
 * Most current systems are not going to be populating this, and they may not even be able to
 * The reason this gets communicated here is because there isn’t another convenient place to put it
 * The user defined tables are not utilized by labs, as there aren’t fields in the system to put the information
 * Freida Hall – do we know what the CLIA requirements are
 * Cindy Johns – if the specimen is rejected or cancelled, the CLIA requirement must be provided (will say TNP – test not performed)
 * People are meeting the requirement, they’re just not using SPM21 to do it
 * Freida Hall – mark ones we know where there are CLIA requirements and when we’re not sure, say so
 * It’s a usable vocabulary for 21 and 22 (the only ones specified in the IG)
 * Cindy – we should verify if SPM22 is really a requirement
 * Recommend that SPM.21 is the preferred field for communicating canceled test reasons (HL7490)
 * However, current practice allows for communicating this information in an alternate manner to meet accreditation requirements
 * For SPM.22, need to verify if this field is actually a CLIA requirement
 * Need to follow-up with Megan to find out whether all of these fields are required
 * Cindy Johns will meet with Megan to determine what needs to be done with fields


 * Next Week **
 * Will have to schedule another call from 10:00 – 11:00 next Tuesday, March 6
 * Natalie Menser will schedule the call
 * Regarding the last comment on the specimen type value set (HL7487 and SNOMED CT specimen hierarchy), Cindy put together a short statement on whether they have to support both
 * Either HL70487 or SNOMED CT Speciment hierarchy may be used. It should be noted that in future, SNOMED CT Specimen hierarchy may become the only recommended value set to trading partners should consider moving in that direction
 * Freida Hall moves, Cindy Johns seconds;
 * Everyone should look at the definition of semi-qualitative for review
