ItemWhoNotes

Child Health & Development Checks
Analysis for Harmonisation

FG
  • FG presented an overview of the harmonisation document
  • TB noted that just because fields are in medium or low usage, that does not preclude them from being included in the informatics models being created in the Child Health WG
  • RD queried whether we would be able to go back to the expert group to ensure our FHIR modelling maintains the intent of the harmonisation work. Response was that follow-up would be desirable and should be possible.
  • RTO queried whether we have any information on completed books.
  • TB queried who captures the information. Responses from FG:
    • health assessments generally captured by providers. 
    • consumer's complete information regarding development milestones which is later checked by providers.
  • CR commented regarding IP restrictions around ages and stages

Action items

None.

Comments:

Thanks for the meeting minutes. I support Tim's comment regarding field usage, for example something like birth complications do not occur very often, but when it does, it is extremely important to capture that information (to guide clinical treatment post birth for mother and child and clinical considerations for subsequent pregnancies and labours). I was concerned that the low use category would not be included (included in what?) unless a good case is made.
