4 | FHIR Server Federation |
| @michael lawley | Use case for fall back lookup when server does not know the answer to any particular question eg a façade server which has knowledge of all services it could potentially delegate to. |
5 | Behaviour on Lookup | 10 |
| What properties are returned? Discussion: Both Ontoserver and Snowstorm are returning EffectiveTime which is not listed here (unlike other SNOMED specifics): https://build.fhir.org/snomedct.html @Peter Jordan to raise a Jira ticket to ask for this to be returned - completed https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-26555 Point of interest: Grahame's server returns a copyright property. Update 7 April - Question about whether this is required / desirable? |
6 | Language Reference Sets in FHIR | 45 | All | |
7 | SNOMED Family of Languages | 10 | @Peter Jordan @michael lawley | Impact of proposed changes (eg text searching in ECL) on FHIR. Questions around which language reference sets to use when there are multiple, especially partial/overriding context (referred to MAG for discussion) |
8 | SNOMED FHIR Implementation Guide | 60 | @Peter Williams | Implementation Guide for using SNOMED CT with FHIR. Update 10 Dec: DK - main problem is URI/Ls which publisher has fixed ideas about. Publisher does not examine all folders - looks in profiles but not subfolders and doesn't seem to look in ValueSet folder. Update 21 Jan: DK and RH have merged commits and these can be seen in the HL7 server build: http://build.fhir.org/ig/IHTSDO/snomed-ig/branches/new-template/ and build errors here: http://build.fhir.org/ig/IHTSDO/snomed-ig/branches/new-template/qa.html Update 11 Feb: Grahame said that he'd show us how to set the URI so that it doesn't have to follow the base URI. Next person to try that can we fire a Zulip off to ask about it? IG Documentation: http://build.fhir.org/ig/FHIR/ig-guidance/index.html Also look at the sample IG https://github.com/fhir/sample-ig see build http://build.fhir.org/ig/FHIR/sample-ig/ @Rob Hausam to speak to Lloyd about extending the base template as per http://build.fhir.org/ig/FHIR/ig-guidance/template.html Update 24 March: Documentation on this is "TODO" @Peter Williams FHIR core content to be copied over to Snowstorm instance. |

Potential Items for Discussion
Description |
| Owner | Notes & Actions |
---|---|---|---|
API for FHIR Resource ↔ Post coordinated expression mapping |
| @Peter Williams | API for FHIR Resource to SNOMED Expression @Daniel Karlsson Thought there might be some documentation from CIMI on this. Also notes from DMarkwell about constructor bindings. @Peter Williams Pull these notes into confluence - can we mention it in the IG? |
Looking up an SCTID in an unknown module |
| @Peter Williams | Problems when dependencies do not align. Multiple code system resources represent multiple editions / versions. ML: See code parameter to code system search. Should return code systems (ie versions) where that code is defined. International concepts would appear in every edition known to the server. eg /CodeSystem?system=htp://snomed.info/sct&code=12345678&_elements=version @Peter Williams Ticket implementing this lookup. Note that this could be implemented more generally for lookups of http://snomed.info/id/<SCTID> where the SCTID exists in an extension. Done - see STORM-262. |

FHIR Shorthand |

$lookup operation - properties returned |
| @Peter Jordan | Using http://ontoserver.csiro.au/vstool/ I noticed that both Ontoserver and SnowStorm return a SNOMED CT $lookup property for effectiveTime, which I don't see listed, as one of the SNOMED CT properties in the FHIR R4 specification at http://hl7.org/fhir/snomedct.html. Should we create a Jira TIcket to add this? Completed - https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-26555 |
