Minutes
- Update from Technical Committee - Tom Dolan
- Published 3 profiles for testing
- Updated Technical Framework
- Continued work on 3D/4D Echo White Paper
- 1st draft should be coming soon.
- DICOM WG 12 is getting some structure that will help with momentum for the white paper.
- Probably won't be ready for 2011 profile development though.
- Approaching October deadline for vendor registration for 2011 Connectathon.
- The next Technical Committee call is scheduled for 9/30. Will be reviewing proposals.
- Profile Proposals
- EP Data Elements Proposal - David Slotwiner
- Focuses on ICD registry use case since those data elements are common to all EP physicians.
- Heavy overlap with NCRI grant work and EHR data elements publication (due in late 2010/early 2011).
- There is a delay in the update of the EP data elements which may slow work for this profile.
- Moving forward, the Domain needs to engage EHR and device vendors. Presenting to members at HIMSS, CCHIT and the EHRVA were all discussed.
- This proposal may need to be a white paper for 2011.
- CIRC Proposal - Harry Solomon
- Began in 2010.
- Expanding beyond cardiac imaging elements was discussed. This profile could potentially include the EHR data elements once they are published.
- This profile also overlaps with the NCRI grant work.
- Other Business
- The Committee discussed taking on new work, maintaining old work, and marketing. It seemed that the Domain should definitely take on the CIRC profile and develop th EP proposal as a white paper.
- Increase focus on marketing and implementation.
- The Domain will be looking into developing a User Handbook, similar to what the Radiology Domain.
- Clinician audience.
- How to identify IT needs and how to articulate requests.
- Education on IHE profiles.
- Focus on how to achieve meaningful use.
- Next Planning Committee call was tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 21st, for 4 PM ET.
