Description | The Patient Administration work group began work on the V3 Patient Encounter messaging standard nearly ten years ago. The Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) passed ballot in December 2003. An updated version passed DSTU ballot in May 2007. Implementer feedback from the May 2007 DSTU was incorporated into another update that passed DSTU ballot in September 2009. Implementer feedback from the 2009 DSTU convinced the work group that it should take a new approach. This new project proposal signals the end of the previous project (#489 Patient Encounter) and the start of this new approach. The work group will reduce the size of the standard by combining the current nine encounter-related topics into a single Patient Encounter topic, reduce the complexity of the standard by eliminating constraints that are not appropriate for the universal standard and implement changes requested by implementers and approved by the work group. This streamlined version of the standard was put to DSTU ballot in May 2011 with normative balloting begun and completed in May 2012. Unfortunately, due to communication issues and new rules requiring publication within a 12 month period, the ballot needed to be withdrawn and re-balloted. Hence, the need for this new project. |
