Discussion items

ItemDescriptionOwnerNotesAction
1Methicillin Resistant StaphylococciMatt Cordell

  • Matt Cordell has forwarded a request for "Non-multi methicillin resistant S. aureus (organism)”  (aka, nmMRSA).   See December 2015 meeting page for details.

  • Jeff Wilcke will provide details of suggested course of action. See Meeting Files for powerpoint presentation MRSA.pptx
  •  Jeff Wilcke will communicate group decision to editors.
2Fastidious anaerobic gram negative bacteriaFarzaneh Ashrafi

Farzaneh has asked for consideration of this SIRS request:

  • FSN: Fastidious anaerobic gram negative bacilli (organism)
  • Parent: Anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus (organism)
  • Definition: specific growth requirements for generic reportable organism
  • Justification: Customer need

Most fastidious bacteria are facultative anaerobes not obligate anaerobes (descendants of Anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus are obligate anaerobes).

Farzaneh Ashrafi has asked submitter for additional details. Examples would be particularly helpful. Awaiting response.
3Use of ConfluenceJeff WilckePG Chair would like to use Confluence (only) to conduct PG business and communicate with team members.
  • Jeff Wilcke will contact IHTSDO tools group for additional guidance.

Decisions

Item 1:

  • "multi Methicillin Resistant S. aureus" (mMRSA) and "non-multi Methicillin Resistant S. aureus" (nmMRSA) will be added as PRIMITIVE subtypes of 115329001 | MRSA
    • Specific FSNs were not discussed.  Literature uses terms quoted above.  Jeff Wilcke does not think that these names are REALLY "fully specified."  Suggestion: create text definition (descriptions).
    • add "mMRSA" and "nmMRSA" as synonyms (if consistent with editorial guidelines).
  • retire 445107002 | Community Acquired MRSA and 445262003 | Hospital Acquired MRSA as ambiguous.
    • refer to 115329001 | Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (this is technically true and the simpler alternative, but does not make specific reference to the real ambiguity - that these two subtypes may actually belong to either of the two newly created concept classes.

Item 2:

  • Requester was the US.  Request was withdrawn per Jim Case

Item 3:

  • There were no specific objections to the use of Confluence for PG business
  • Several PG members on the call do not seem to have a login to Confluence
  • Chair is uncertain how to add them.  
  • No progress can be made until PG members can adequately access and use Confluence
