Nathan (of CMH, not KUMC) asked me what it means to lead on labs. My current expectation is two things:
1. Set the standard for lab metadata in babel, especially the concept paths. Deliver both a metadata CSV file and details on how it's built (from LOINC materials) and where to get the data for these terms (which workflows and perhaps i2b2 modifiers, which Epic clarity tables, etc.) Ideally work with cohort leads to develop queries that exercise labs. Work out any essential details around units etc. For bonus points, supply test data that we can put on babel. 2. Help other sites match this standard so that, for example, babel can show aggregate counts at each level of the hierarchy across all sites. We had agreed on a standard for lab metadata (#68<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/68>) but now we're trying to find something with better usability (#158). Currently diagnoses, vitals, and cancer cases are resolved and the others have details pending: * GPC Demographics (#67<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/67>) * Pediatric Weight and Health CC needs contact info? * GPC Diagnoses (#63<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/63>) * GPC Encounters (#155<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/155>) * GPC Enrollment * GPC Procedures * GPC Vitals (#23<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/23>) * GPC Labs (#68<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/68>) * GPC Medications (#78<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/78>) * GPC Cancer Tumor Registry For aggregate counts on babel, I'm thinking of a separate i2b2 project so that the paths don't collide. I have been talking about it with Nathan (@KUMC) a bit but we haven't made any tangible progress. Anybody who wants to help, please let me know. Meanwhile, you could, for example, get familiar with the status of LOINC coding at each site. And you could narrow the target from all labs to some prioritized list of labs by collaborating with the cohort groups. I'm tracking this effort (for all domains) as trac milestone data-domains2<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/milestone/data-domains2>, currently scheduled for mid November to match PMO milestone 2.4. -- Dan ________________________________ From: Dan Connolly Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 6:55 PM To: gpc-dev@listserv.kumc.edu Subject: 10 Sites x N Domains and the GPC Interoperable Standardization Measurement Framework Since Russ returned from vacation, he and Nathan and I have had a couple catch-up/planning discussions. The whiteboard evolved into a spreadsheet that looks at where we are on standardization of our data domains (Demographics, Diagnoses) as well as deployment of the standard at each site: * sites_gpc_ontology<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uW2hod63gdlNlLAkhleuMvnQG6zNaw2jd-CAhSLqkk/edit#gid=208670379> (open for view and comment; current copy attached) I don't expect it's self-explanatory, but please do have it handy on the call tomorrow, and if you get a chance to look at it in advance, please do. -- Dan
