epSOS in ART-DECOR

This representation of epSOS does not replace the normative specification found at http://www.epsos.eu, but is intended as the basis for future developments based on the epSOS specifications.

About epSOS

epSOS aims to design, build and evaluate a service infrastructure that demonstrates cross-border interoperability between electronic health record systems in Europe.

Cross-border eHealth Services

epSOS attempts to offer seamless healthcare to European citizens. Key goals are to improve the quality and safety of healthcare for citizens when travelling to another European country. Moreover, it concentrates on developing a practical eHealth framework and ICT infrastructure that enables secure access to patient health information among different European healthcare systems. epSOS can make a significant contribution to patient safety by reducing the frequency of medical errors and by providing quick access to documentation. In emergency situations, this documentation provides the medical personnel with life-saving information and reduces the (sometimes needless) repetition of diagnostic procedures. The technical, legal and organizational concepts developed within the framework of the project are subject to an extensive practical testing phase over a period of one year. epSOS will test cross-border eHealth services in the following areas: In a first phase:

Notes for reading this specification:

Please note: The transcription to ART-DECOR of the normative master specification for epSOS was originally done by the Dutch National IT Institute for Health Care (Nictiz) end of 2013 / beginning of 2014 as part of an official agreement between the epSOS project and Nictiz.

The specification as of now is the result of a review of the original epSOS specification. This was done within the EXPAND project WP5, before moving the specification to CEG. The activity was supported by HL7 International / HL7 International Foundation / HL7 Europe.

  • Issue 59 "Optionaly of template IDs" with status "Open". Last event (2015-11-09T15:26:26):
    Finding:

    The current specs requires that all the IHE PCC (simple obs ad socila Obs) and the CCD template IDs are provided .

    IHE PCC template just says that "These <templateId> elements identify this as a Social History observation." without indicating any optionality.

    Suggestion:

    Evaluate if is really needed that all of them would be required.

    Further explanation:

    This applies to several other templates

  • Issue 60 "Update example" with status "Closed". Last event (2017-05-17T14:39:29):
    removed the not used elements
  • Issue 61 "types of social observation" with status "Open". Last event (2015-11-09T15:43:47):
    Finding:

    the conceptual model consider only three types of social observation:

    • Smoke

    • Alcohol

    • Diet

    Suggestion:

    Evaluate if we need to specialize the IHE PCC template considering three different specialized template for each of them

    Further explanation:

    in the case of diet a coded element is excpected in the obs.value , but the epSSO MVC doesn't define such a type of value set

    The code is thus declared to be mandatory 1..1 M, ie no null flavors are allowed. That is correct in spec and ART-DECOR.

    The phrase "the code should come from this list" equals to a binding to the value set 1.3.6.1.4.1.12559.11.10.1.3.1.42.9 epSOSPregnancyInformation (Dynamic) with CWE coding strength (coded with exceptions), saying that if a concept fits one of the codes in the value set this code must be used, otherwise other codes may be used (from other code systems).

    Changed codings strength to CWE
  • Issue 107 "cardinality observation/value" with status "Closed". Last event (2015-11-25T11:03:18):
    Then the spec needs to be corrected.
    M means no null flavors are allowed (mandatory). This is in principal equal to SHALL.
    R means null flavors are allowed (required).
    Null Flavors should be allowed here for sure.

    Changed to 1..1 R
  • Issue 108 "section code is for document, details to be added" with status "Open". Last event (2015-11-25T11:02:56):
    Finding:

    - The LOINC code used here signifies a document, not a section. Furthermore, it asks for specification of {setting} and {Author Type}. Not sure if this is appropriate code here.

    Suggestion:

    - Check for alternative, possibly request new code from LOINC

    Further explanation:

    Finding:

    Only a few concepts in associated value set Obs.code

    Suggestion:

Only for Healthcare Facilities there are stricter rules (R1.10.9.3). From the information on optionality it can be inferred that the intention was to make only country mandatory here. Changed accordingly.

    • The CC portion SHALL be an ISO-3166 country code in upper case derived by the value Set epSOSCountry
    Suggestion:

    Since MVC 2.2.1, the epSOSLanguage Value set contains already the languageCodes in the form nn-CC, so the hl7:languageCode won't be composed by the epSOSLanguage and the epSOSCountry codes with a hyphen in between.

    - It is good practice that one entry contains one Act containing one Problem. So for multiple past illnesses we need multiple entries.

  • Issue 199 "doseQuantity: value set binding for units" with status "Open". Last event (2017-07-27T20:46:38):
    I suggest to remove the requirement to have a unit attribute.
    a) in the present form it precludes the use of IVL_PQ (with low and/or high elements)
    b) In section 11.1.1.2.3. of the PDF spec for the case of "countable items" it is stated that "In this case, only the unit count is specified , no units are specified." (which I prefer over the curly bracket kludge)
    c) the value set binding has to be discussed in the light of the option to use those curly brace expressions. Probably needs to be CWE, so we get schematron warnings, but not errors.

    Also, the levels of originalText and translation are strange. I believe they should be under manufacturedMaterial/ingredient/[@classCode='ACTI']/ingredient/code.

    I changed the template, moving originalText and translation under code, and moving name to the same level as code.

  • Issue 233 "Value Set differs from original normative CDA Spec" with status "Open". Last event (2017-10-30T13:56:47):
    sorry. The referenced value set is 2.16.840.1.113883.1.11.10901. And apparently it contains concepts that were not present in the original CDA vocabulary.

    The base standards validation complains:
     Test : CDATEMP019(Validation Level : FLATTEN_VOCAB , Type : FATALERROR) 
    Location : //rules/template[14]/element[1]/element[18]/attribute[1]

  • Issue 234 "The maximum multiplicity SHALL be lower or equals to the maximum multiplicity from the CDA model [CDATEMP-005]" with status "Closed". Last event (2017-10-31T08:55:15):
    I won't take any action on this:
    The template I changed ( 2.16.840.1.113883.3.1937.777.11.10.111 ) is the generic epSOSCDAOrganization, used for all kinds of Organizations.
         The bug was that Custodian should have a specialized template, more restrictive than the generic one that you changed.
  • Issue 235 "hl7:assignedPerson contains twice the element hl7:name" with status "In Progress". Last event (2017-10-31T18:09:56):
    The hl7:assignedPerson has a containment and and "overriding" inline definition. This is illegal. It should be either one.
    For the hl7:representedOrganization our recommendation is to name the representedOrganization element and the include the template (rather than contain).
    The same should be done for hl7:assignedPerson if appropriate.
  • Issue 236 "Relaxation of constraints for EntryAllergyAndIntolerance template" with status "Open". Last event (2017-11-03T11:18:21):
    Finding:

    - In the Template EntryAllergyAndIntolerance   [1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.4.6]   in ART-DECOR, the hl7:id element is not consistent with the inheritance from the template Problem [1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.4.5]

    - The template EntryAllergyAndIntolerance   inherit from the template Problem, the template EntryAllergyAndIntolerance   says that hl7:id is 0..* , however the template Problem says that hl7:id is 1..1. This is not permitted to relax constraints.

    Suggestion:

    - Change the EntryAllergyAndIntolerance template and make the id a 1 ... 1 (with a conformance M?)
