Meeting Notes

 * Update on LRI Errata and Race Vocabulary Recommendations**
 * Last week Bob Yencha raised a question regarding the race and ethnicity value set and if we wanted to harmonize with the CCDA document recommendations – they are recommended the CCD value set
 * The Vocab WG decided to leave the decision up to Orders and Observations, who believed it wasn’t necessary to harmonize with C-CDA recommendations and will stick with the original recommendation of HL70005 value set for race, which is consistent with OMB, ELINCS and HL7 v2.5.1.
 * The final outcome is that if the CDCREC document is recommended, it would need to be further vetted because there were two sets of codes. This may be an option for consideration in the future but it probably too extensive for most systems to handle at this time.


 * Review of HL7 Tables**
 * Race HL70005
 * Vocab WG will recommend inclusion of a comment in the LOI IG that more specific values are available in the CDCREC document if needed for AOE if they are needed
 * Because it’s a user-defined table with values in HL7, the WG is more comfortable with recommending Table HL70005 values
 * Some WG members believe this list of 6 values in Race less cumbersome than the 38-page document
 * The WG will follow-up on whether Ashkenazi Jewish needs to be added to the value set since it is commonly required for interpretation of molecular testing results.
 * Motion to accept the table as proposed in Column J of tab HL70005, including the comment to refer to the CDCREC document for more values if needed for AOE. Ken McCaslin, Bill Ormerod. Against=0, Abstain=0, In Favor=7
 * Ethnic Group HL70189
 * The group is debating whether they need to come up with a new code set
 * ASKU refers to Asked But Unknown
 * The recommendation is to include an NG – Not Given value set in order to respond to what the MU2 requirements are
 * Add NG to table to indicate that the patient declined to give their ethnicity
