Upcoming Themis meeting thread

Tomorrow, August 3rd Themis will meet to discuss the following:

  • Review the Themis convention process to ensure no changes are needed before the process is finalized and documentation has been updated
  • Review open issues which have a sponsor for prioritization
  • Review the multiple deaths question on the forum; in 2018 Themis “approved” of multiple death records for a person in CDM v5.3.1; was this changed in v5.4 to only allow one death? Or was the change to allow multiple deaths never documented and therefore not included in the conventions for CDM v5.4? The Death table conventions in v5.4 states “A person can have up to one record if the source system contains evidence about the Death”
