Stream: IG creation
Topic: IG created ValueSet registry
John Moehrke (Feb 26 2019 at 22:39):
Is there a place where valueSets that are created by IG are registered? Anyone starting a new IG, should have an easy way to find where someone else has already created a useful re-usable valueSet. Yes, some valuesets should not be reused...
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 26 2019 at 22:48):
There isn't really a way to reuse a valueset without importing the defining IG
John Moehrke (Feb 26 2019 at 23:26):
even that is easier than bulding the valueset from nothing
John Moehrke (Feb 26 2019 at 23:29):
The re-use is at the IG level, some IG are more re-usable than others. For example, the eLTSS is a US realm IG, and fully uses US-Core for everthing that is defined in US-Core. Thus not re-inventing valuesets that are already created in US-Core... This concept can be done very nicely with IG. There are some IG in IHE that are looking to do similar with international content. So we are looking for ValueSets that have been created in an international IG

In theory, when an IG is published, it should end up in HL7's Simplifier registry (http://registry.fhir.org) and thus be searchable. But I'm not sure if that loading process is happening or not. @Grahame Grieve ?
John Moehrke (Feb 27 2019 at 14:28):
Simplifier is one of my recommended stops. simplifier also has lots of 'drafty' stuff and tons of personal experiments... so it isn't all that useful. It is far better than nothing.
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 27 2019 at 16:44):
Not Simplifier, HL7's Simplifier registry
John Moehrke (Feb 27 2019 at 17:12):
I am unaware of a difference
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 27 2019 at 17:52):
registry.hl7.org is not simplifier.net - separate repositories. The former uses a constrained version of the software developed for the latter.
John Moehrke (Feb 27 2019 at 18:10):
John Moehrke (Feb 27 2019 at 18:13):
yes, it is those things that are in simplifier that are marked to be published in the registry. but this is just a UI, not a fundimental different registry. Right?
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 27 2019 at 18:17):
It's an independent registry
Grahame Grieve (Mar 03 2019 at 20:04):
registry.fhir.org is a mess. sorting it is on my to do list
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 04 2019 at 15:02):
"sorting it" means: 1) cleansing content, 2) enhancing the process (e.g. IG statuses, etc ) or 3) enhancing the UI
?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 04 2019 at 15:02):
if 2, i'll keep an eye to get ideas.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 04 2019 at 19:31):
1 and 3, yes. 2... not sure whether that's what we're doing. ideas always welcome
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 07 2019 at 06:11):
2 could be have some governance process and flagging content and displaying it in sections according to their status.
- IGs may have specific attributes to help sort & group them (i do not know better, but I can think of tags like "IHE" / "Argonaut")... I guess the UI could then work around these tags so that we don't have to go manually cleanse, e.g.
- IGs that haven't left the Draft status for a validity date (should no longer show up);
- IGs that have no owner or not implemented (should be marked as such)
...
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 07 2019 at 06:13):
btw, can we put an expiry date in an IG? Could help quality, if the author defines it for 1 year, and it gets flagged about that time.
I will add this to the IHE wishlist (IHE had some challenges on deprecated profiles), but i think an expiry date would be useful.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 07 2019 at 14:59):
In HL7, there's a built in expiry process through ANSI, though I guess we could expose that as a formal part of the metadata.
