@Kevin Shekleton @Dennis Patterson @Isaac Vetter this is what we were discussing last night. Check out the tests on each request and the collection level variables.

You can edit the collection variables, but you can also override them with an Environment.

Who can we get involved in this track for September in additional to Cerner and Epic?

view this post on Zulip Bryn Rhodes (May 15 2018 at 10:18):

We're very interested, not sure the LOINC code, but it would be a risk assessment note (we'd like to represent it as a RiskAssessment directly, but a ClinicalNote will do :)).

There are many, many more kinds of notes than this base list. The intent of the list is to have a small, core set that servers can commit to supporting. Clients will know they can rely on servers supporting every type on the list.

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (May 15 2018 at 12:51):

Servers can and will support additional types.

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (May 15 2018 at 12:53):

This set is the least common denominator, the values you can be confident will work everywhere.

view this post on Zulip Josh Mandel (May 15 2018 at 12:56):

@Michael Donnelly is the expectation that these codes represent the core set of note types that a server will support sharing... or just the core set of well specified labels that a server will be able to apply to its (potentially much broader) set of exposed notes?

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (May 15 2018 at 12:57):

@Brett Marquard polled a number of entities and found the intersection of the note types represented in their systems.

Yes, which is great work -- but I don't think that answers my question :-)

Ah. The former.

Is the idea that we'll be working on servers that expose these notes for sure (and optionally more types) ... or on servers that expose all of their notes (but may have less informative DocumentReference.type values for notes outside of this list)?

Epic plans to expose a ValueSet of the other types we accept.

Accept == clients can post, or accept == server will expose, or both?

Clients can post.

view this post on Zulip Josh Mandel (May 15 2018 at 13:05):

You could always expose something like

GET /ValueSet/clinical-notes-types

with a well-known resource id (here, clinical-notes-types)

view this post on Zulip Josh Mandel (May 15 2018 at 13:06):

Is there a similar valueset for what note types the server would expose?

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (May 15 2018 at 13:06):

We have enough such ValueSets that we want a more general solution.

view this post on Zulip David Hay (May 15 2018 at 13:08):

But, just being in the ValueSet doesn't mean that the server must understand those codes, does it?

Correct.

What are everyone's base URLs?

view this post on Zulip Jason Walonoski (Sep 29 2018 at 13:38):

So, my understanding thus far:
- EPIC takes DocumentReference with inline plain text. Returns DocumentReference with inline xhtml of the submitted plain text.
- Cerner takes DocumentReference with inline xhtml. Returns DocumentReference to a Binary that contains PDF version of submitted xhthml.
- Use of $expand operation to determine what types of clinical notes a server accepts.

Howdy! We will be hosting a breakout from 4-5 in the CHESAPEAK A ROOM

view this post on Zulip Brett Marquard (Sep 29 2018 at 18:07):

Options 1 - DocumentReference and DiagnosticReport
- DocumentReference for clinical notes (e.g. Discharge Summary, History and Physical, Progress Note, Consultation Note - Non Ordered Procedures!)
- DiagnosticReport for ordered procedure reports: Cardiology, Pathology, Radiology
- Some DiagnosticReports are scanned and don’t contain any discrete details (e.g. Specimen, Observations, etc.) -- even worse, the “issued date” may represent when the report was scanned -- not the date the original report was issued.
- Client must determine where to query based on note/report type

Options 2 - DocumentReference
- DocumentReference for clinical notes and reports
- Client always queries DocumentReference which included a pointer to the content in content.attachment (report binary)
- Optionally reference DiagnosticReport from DocumentReference (context.related) and content.attachment (report binary)
- DiagnosticReport would then include the discrete elements, and also a pointer to DiagnosticReport.presentedForm (report binary, same binary as referenced in DocumentReference.content.attachment)

view this post on Zulip Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 29 2018 at 20:21):

Need to think about how shift notes get shared (the short 1-2 sentence notes). Not clear that DocumentReference or DiagnosticReport are appropriate for these.

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (Sep 29 2018 at 20:23):

It might depend on how they'll be used. Are they instructions that the next shift should follow, or are they information the next shift can retrieve as needed?

view this post on Zulip Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 29 2018 at 20:24):

It's a summary of what happened and/or suggestions for whoever's coming next. But it's just a name, a date and 1-2 sentences in a log.

Smells like an Observation to me...

view this post on Zulip Michael Donnelly (Sep 29 2018 at 20:30):

FWIW, the way we'd store it is a lot more like a DocumentReference than an Observation.

Or would shift notes even be likened to progress notes? Composition maybe?

Ideally, but not guaranteed. You might also need to search Bundle using the composition search parameter
