esMD+PPA+UC1+Harmonization+Meeting+Minutes+4-4-2012

Introduction

 * Reviewed the F2F registration and hotel reservation dates

Data Model Developmen

 * Added Harmonization Status column for bookkeeping purposes
 * Will be removed once the data model is complete.
 * Added ‘telephone extension’ and ‘zip code extension’ elements
 * ‘Prefix’ and ‘Suffix’ codesets were not defined in PD, so we can either define them in esMD or leave them open for any content
 * X12 does not have codesets for them
 * CAQH.org has links to core operating rules that include a list of common prefixes that can cause problems in searches. There are lists for military prefixes that we could pursue.
 * Action Item: Support staff will contact ONC for guidance on development and maintenance of codesets
 * Changed ‘Unique Transaction ID’ element to ‘Unique Request ID’
 * Better reflects purpose of the ID element
 * Action Item: Support staff will reach out to community to identify possible linguistics expert to review use of terms
 * Support staff changed name offline to ‘Unique Registration Request ID’ for additional clarity
 * ‘Time stamp'
 * Data type is “Date Time”
 * Cardinality is 1
 * There exists an ISO standard for it that we can explore
 * Discussion about whether the ‘Update’ element needs a “cancel” option in the vocab/codesets.
 * There could be confusion about whether it means cancel the request or cancel the registration.
 * Decision to change “cancel” to “terminate” as in “terminate the service”
 * Changed ‘Update’ to ‘Request type’
 * Added definitions to reach request type
 * Added a note that “Harmonization needs to address identification and versioning of the specific transaction as part of the standard selection process”
 * Changed ‘Message Encryption’ to ‘Message Signature’ to better reflect its use
 * In the Response tab, it makes sense to make ‘Payer Organization’ an object because we will be using it in Use Case 2 as well.
