Topic: Location of US-Core profile
John Moehrke (May 14 2020 at 21:24):
Given that SANER is a US IG, it is not strange to be requiring US-Core Location. However given that MeasureReport.subject is forcing the use of .identifier and not .reference; it seems strange to force US-Core Location Profile. Seems we should either require .reference to a US-Core Location profiled Location, or we should not require US-Core Profile
Michael Donnelly (May 15 2020 at 03:05):
Wait, is SANER a US IG? I know the first two Measures are for reporting to US agencies, but is anything about the IG inherently US only?
David Pyke (May 15 2020 at 12:28):
The project is universal but the IG is currently based on USCore. There's nothing specific except the reports for FEMA and CDC that are US centric
John Moehrke (May 15 2020 at 12:50):
is that debatable? I seem to recall the PSS was US specific... so I agree that the guts of SANER should work for any population-health.. today it is definitely US centric..... That said, can we remove this requirement for Location to be US-Core? Im happy to make a issue, or even PR
John Moehrke (May 15 2020 at 13:05):
ah, the PSS tells the story that it started as US... https://confluence.hl7.org/display/PA/Situation+Awareness+for+Novel+Epidemic+Response+FHIR+IG
John Moehrke (May 15 2020 at 13:05):
so we need to remove ALL us-core requirements

Issue #80 created
Reece Adamson (May 15 2020 at 13:12):
The SANER ResourceLocation Profile is based on the US Core Location Profile, so removing all us core requirements would require some more profiling work than just fixing references. This is probably old news, but just wanted to make sure we realize that too.
David Pyke (May 15 2020 at 13:12):
We can remove the dependency on USCore, and then call out specific USCore profiles where needed for individual measures or reports as needed.
John Moehrke (May 15 2020 at 13:13):
either way... Location should not be restricted to US-Core... especially since our scope is population health, not healthcare practice
Josh Mandel (May 15 2020 at 13:51):
A key part of the SANER mission is to provide specific profiles for reporting to CDC and FEMA, right? I just want to make sure we don't lose sight of the practical end-to-end need in the discussion about generalization.
