• It was announced that ICDO is currently already implemented within Athena and folks should try mapping their ICDO data.

• The group discussed the plan to adopt NAACCR as OMOPS's standard vocabulary of cancer diagnosis modifiers and the plant to transition NAACCR from a standard vocabulary to source vocabulary by mapping NAACCR to the Nebraska Lexicon.

• Concern was expressed regarding the timeline for when the Nebraska Lexicon would be completed.

• There was consensus in the group that the OMOP community needs to standardize the representation of cancer diagnosis modifiers. Some members of the group might take a swipe at recommending cancer diagnosis modifiers ahead of the Nebraska Lexicon completion date.

• The group discussed the current state of the Hemonc.org vocabulary. Regimens and regimen components mapped to RxNorm ingredients. Plus a better drug oncology classification system.
