PHRI+-+Chronic+Disease+-+Dec+14+Minutes


 * Date: December 14, 2011**
 * Name:** Chronic Disease User Story Harmonization - Public Health Reporting Initiative Web Conference

**Meeting Minutes**
By the end of the week, the workgroup would like to see the spreadsheet finished and the consolidated user story put into the powerpoint template. We’ll work on data elements in the coming weeks. For this week (referencing the poweroint template), we have at least two distinct trigger events to discuss – specific diagnosis or patient encounter. On the call, we’ll also review submitted materials about data elements and flow from NCHS.

__Review NCHS event flow:__
 * Contains the current and future flows
 * Updated the flows (wording edits) as directed by the group
 * Note: in the flows, don’t really want to involve clearing house, but get info from the hospital

__User Story Validation (in spreadsheet)__
 * Edits made as indicated on the call and/or emailed today

__Populating Consolidated Chronic Disease user story – powerpoint template slides__
 * Need to be sure to include pathology / differentiate between clinical and pathology – even if laboratories are generalized
 * With regards to bidirectional – anything more than acknowledgement back from PH agency to provider is out of scope for this effort (per co-leads). However, want to get impressions from working group.
 * It’s ok to put it in, but there may be some obstacles to achieving this
 * Could make this component optional
 * It may be desirable in the future, but need to make sure it’s done in manageable phases; currently, no acknowledgement with paper reporting so this may not be essential in this phase
 * Healthcare facility includes hospitals, emergency depts, etc.
 * Developed 3 flows to consolidate the chronic disease user stories

__Review Lists of NCHS and BRCA data elements:__
 * BRCA data elements are grouped by C83 sections/ modules (as John Page suggested)
 * These are close to the CCD modules used for Cancer Reporting
 * Might be possible for all submitters to map data elements to this schema (CDA, CCD, etc.)

__Next Steps:__
 * Finish identified standards and create data elements list
 * Map user story data elements into the different modules (end of December, specific due date TBD)
 * May need to schedule another meeting
 * Volunteer to report out on group progress – no volunteers
 * Spreadsheet and PowerPoint will be complete by due date – good progress so far
 * Areas of agreement
 * Identified common areas for actors, flow of events
 * Most diversity in triggers
 * Use C83 modules to organize data element collection
 * Open issues
 * NCHS user story represents current flow – how to deal with future flow? Is this done in the consolidated powerpoint or the spreadsheet? (Michelle Williamson)
 * Email additional thoughts about this update to Riki
