• People getting involved now are not necessarily involved with Public Health, and there is confusion around the different groups and what they do / where they overlap

Hot Topics

Location Extension

• Discussion over adding the Geo Coordinates as an extension in MeasureReport
  • https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/226195-Covid-19-Response/topic/Location.20extensions.20for.20Beds.2C.20Helipads.2C.20.26.20Trauma.20Centers
• Don't want to duplicate data that's already publicly available (ArcGIS data)

Measure.subject

• "What individuals this report is for."
• A collection of values telling us the measures for a facility/state/group/etc.
• The subject can be that location/facility/group
• Austin:
  • CDC needs Location of an Organization
  • Specific facility
• Once we have the physical location, summaries are computable
• Discussion about Hospital Referral Regions
  • Divide the US into zones based on where patients go to hospitals
  • e.g., where does this hospital pull patients from
• Do we want to keep the extension
• Dave Pyke:
  • Want to make sure we are considering patient-based stratums as well
  • Considering alignment with work from Logica
• Keith:
  • Look at MeasureReport.type: summary (CDC, FEMA), subject-list (used to identify a population used)
  • Then populate MeasureReport.group.stratifier.stratum.population.subjectResults
  • If you're using subject-list

Connectathon Session
