A vendor related a problem he encountered while testing, I think it
results from an incompatibility between two PCC documents.
In Vol 2 of PCC Technical Framework, Care Plan Section
(1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.3.31) is defined in 6.3.3.6.1. The parent
template comes from CCD. The LOINC code is 61145-9. There are no
required/optional entries described.
However in CDA Content Modules, Care Plan Section
(1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.3.31, same template ID) is also defined in
6.3.3.6.15. The parent template is the same one from CCD as in the
TF-defined Care Plan Section. However, the LOINC code is 18776-5.
There are five optional entries included.
My guess is that the CDA Content Modules is correct (since that LOINC
code matches the LOINC code described in the CCD parent template) and
that the TF Vol 2 language is just legacy language. However, I wanted
to run this by you guys just to make sure my assumption is correct.
Thanks for your time.

"The PCC Care Plan section makes reference to the LOINC code for
Treatment Plan. At the face to face meeting in July the committee
agreed that Care Plans and Treatment Plans do not represent the same
thing and a new code is needed for Care Plan."
So, it seems that the intent would be to for "18776-5" to no longer be
the LOINC code for PCC's Care Plan... but in that case, I believe the
reference to CCD Section 3.16 should be removed as well.
What should implementors be using as a LOINC code and parent template
for PCC Care Plan Section?
Thanks.

It is limited to prospective, unfulfilled, or incomplete orders and requests only, which are indicated by the @moodCode of the entries within this section. All active, incomplete, or pending orders, appointments, referrals, procedures, services, or any other pending event of clinical significance to the current care of the patient should be listed unless constrained due to privacy issues. The plan may also contain information about ongoing care of the patient and information regarding goals and clinical reminders. Clinical reminders are placed here to provide prompts for disease prevention and management, patient safety, and health-care quality improvements, including widely accepted performance measures. The plan may also indicate that patient education was given or will be provided.

For testing purposes, I think I'll put the template back to its
pre-CP-85 definition so that the LOINC codes do not conflict. But I'm
curious about what the intent was...
Thanks.
