XPOST: RouteOfAdministration Expansion Proposal Meeting Deck and Follow-up

Greetings folks,
Many thanks to those who were able to make the meeting today. I have posted the slide deck to the documents folder of the HTC forum, which can be accessed here .

As discussed, please provide all feedback before April 13. If you have no concerns about the proposed definition and membership, please let us know as well: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. A summary of the proposal is provided below:

RouteOfAdministration – Enhanced Definition Proposed on the April 11 call
This describes which path the administered medication or immunization takes to get into the body or into contact with the body; the route of entry or the course the medication or immunization must take to get to its destination. For example, an oral antibiotic may be used to treat a severe infection on a toe; the oral route is used to get the medicine to be able to reach and treat the infection in the toe. Examples: intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM). The route of administration of a medicine should only be a description of the path taken and not the form.
This subset is intensionally defined using the set of subtypes of 284009009 | Route of administration value (qualifier value)| and a set of pan-Canadian members. This is a broad data exchange subset that supports interoperability and conformance testing, and can be constrained to meet local use cases.
