Semantics not clear for ETP Vendor Identifier

url:

The semantics around this data element are not clear. Specifically, the barcodes associated with current electronic prescription exchange services are a mechanism for obtaining and decrypting a prescription or dispense payload. It is not clear whether this is necessarily an identifier for the prescription.

Suggestion:
Suggest clarifying the semantics (including removal of the suggestion that it is the barcode in ETP solutions) or removing the data element.

Unclear what the requirement for the au device profile is

url:

This profile appears to only specify support for the PAI-D identifier which is not in widespread use in Australia. The description of the profile is pretty broad too: "A device in an Australian healthcare context" and this does not agree with the use of the PAI-D identifier which is specific to devices which generate My Health Record documents on behalf of an organisation.

I think it might be too early to include this profile in the IG and it may be misunderstood or cause confusion.

Suggestion:
Recommend removing this profile, or updating the description to align with the intended use of the PAI-D identifier.

Clarification required around concurrent use of HPI-O, CSP, and PAI-O identifiers for a single organisation

The profile allows a single organisation to have any combination of CSP, HPI-O, and PAI-O identifiers concurrently. It is extremely unlikely that an organisation would be eligible for (and have) an HPI-O and then also have a CSP number and/or PAI-O.

Clarification required around use of multiple HPI-Os single a single organisation

The profile allows multiple HPI-Os for a single individual organisation which is unusual. However, if the IG is recognising that an organisation can be part of a network and associated with multiple HPI-Os, then perhaps this might make sense. However, that would require explanation and guidance on correct use.

Suggestion:
Describe intent and correct use.

All ValueSet and CodeSystem instances defined in this Implementation Guide should conform and assert conformance with their associated NCTS profiles

Not all of the ValueSet or CodeSystem resources assert conformance with the "NCTS Composed Value Set" and "NCTS Complete Code System" profiles. This is desirable as it would ensure best practice in the construction of these resources and also ensure national alignment with the NCTS ecosystem (including support in NCTS conformant server applications including the Conformant Terminology Server Application spec).

Lastly, many of these resources are probably not far off conforming and this should be a largely non-technical/content exercise.

FHIRpath query - needs absolute element reference relative to root?

url:

Many of the invariant FHIRpath expressions are written on the basis of orientation from the element within which they reside. For example, the IHI identifier slice has an invariant to force that the value is prefixed with "800360" which is found on the value element within the IHI identifier slice. The relevant FHIRpath is "startsWith('800360')".

My understanding is that the FHIRpath should rather be written from the perspective of the root element within the profile including a determination of which slice should have the rule fired off with. Ie, only when a slice has the system namespace for IHI, then apply this test.

I have figured out the correct expression syntax but I am away from my main PC at the moment.

Anyways; I gather that is what is required, although am happy to be corrected by others who understand FHIRpath & validation against profiles better.

Note that, if this is an issue, then it affects most profiles that have invariants added.

Please review "Binding: PBS Medicines Item Codes (required)".
Suggest the use of the Agency's PBS value set that will be regularly updated with a QA process to ensure high quality data. Although the publication date is unknown, the URI is known and may be utilised in this binding. The Agency is currently discussing an agreement with the legal team at DoH to have permission to publish this value set, and we are working hard to have this happen as soon as possible.
