Topics:  Summarize feedback to the larger Working Group 

  1. OCA Core Data Types
    1. Will require a type mapping from FHIR 
    2. This work effort and team has concerns with this conversions on healthcare data
    3. We understand that the BIT attributes will remain OCA base schema
    4. Projection Overlays - Extensions - still WIP
      1. Projection overlay definition:  "The projection overlay should describe the transformation of external schema / data object representations into an OCA formatted schema instance. The projection overlay would require a source and destination schemas.

General Business: 

  • JW - In the conversion of the DSWG to ISWG, it seems the working notes from 2 meetings have been 'misplaced' - we'll inquire if they can be re-inserted?

Topics:  Summarize feedback to the larger Working Group 

  1. Following up from the last working meeting on the topic of taking a complex, nested json object and render that into OCA Base + Overlays
    1. Simple demonstration of an example FHIR resources expressed as JSON-LD 
      1. ex: Immunization resource instances
        1. Use these instances to demonstrate the potential variations in valid instance within the same bundle 
        2. Ex: What is the syntax for selecting Immunization/vaccineCode/coding/code?
        3. How does this work with array fields: Immunization/performer is an array of objects, how do you select all of them? How do you select a particular one?
        4. Use this example to explain the use of a "projection overlay" for instance mapping
    2. Overlays - Extensions 
      1. Blinding Identity Overlay - Assume that the BIT attribute assignment in the base schema is a union of all potentially attributes needing 'blinding' 
      2. Demonstrate the use of  'conformance-type' and 'conformance spec'  as the specification mechanism to identify blinded attributes → drive the related RFC discussion
        1. Agreement on handling profiles/extensions via conformance-type and conformance-spec headers v/s separate overlay for handling conformance to profiles such as us-core etc.
        2. [Burak] Overlay selector idea based on use cases (to be explored: tags, fhirpath or some such spec to identify the use cases/context for use of overlays)
      3. Demonstrate the use of the Masking Overlay to apply blinding to an FHIR OCA instance
        1. Projection overlay for flattening. Sub-setting overlay may not meet all the needs. Barak shared ideas around a "mapping" format that can be used in the definition of the Projection overlay, so as to simplify the "flattening" problem, for the purposes of data capture/display in OCA "forms".
      4. Potential uses of the Subset Overlay 
        1. Discussion

  1. Following up from the last working meeting on the topic of taking a complex, nested json object and render that into OCA Base + Overlays
    1. Source FHIR EHR → Base 
      1. Burak - "how do we bridge schema to data?"  Solution could be a capture schema to limit the fields, and use a projection overlay to map to the OCA form.
      2. New
    2.  Overlays - Extensions / updates 
      1. Blinding Identity Overlay - Assume that the BIT attribute assignment in the base schema is a union of all potentially attributes needing 'blinding'  - ? from 10/29 meeting notes - the suggestion is to use 'conformance-type' and 'conformance spec'  as the specification mechanism to blind specific attributes ?  Yes, working group proposal is to create or update the existing RFC's to propose the addition of 'conformance-type' and 'conformance-spec' as attributes in both the OCA SB and OCA Overlay specification.
        1. How is this implemented? Application (FHIR) bundle specific contexts for blinding attributes
      2. Need a better way of selecting fields in overlay specifications, especially for nested data structures like JSON/XML
        1. Ex: What is the syntax for selecting Immunization/vaccineCode/coding/code?
          1. How does this work with array fields: Immunization/performer is an array of objects, how do you select all of them? How do you select a particular one?

  1. Use Case 1: Remotely Accessible Patient EHR - patient expressly requests creation of a FHIR based EHR representation to be used by different Health Care providers in different (same country) locale. (This use case can evolve to support crossing national boundaries thus adding complexity)
