Project updates:

  • APSR 2.0:
    • Have created the pdf document and have set up a call between François and Mary Junger on Friday – still fixing a few bugs in pdf creation
    • End product will be handed over to IHE wiki for publication, then editing can be handed over to approved IHE editors
  • Digital Pathology white paper:
    • Sharing the word document from Raj: APW_modification_for_Digital_Pathology_1.1.docx
    • Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) solution was just approved in US by FDA for diagnostic use
    • Sweden is the lead in the development for this technology
    • Did some research on existing work in the radiology DICOM specification:
      • Want to share a smaller amount of the entire DICOM document to capture the multi-frame aspect of the WSI
    • Reach out to David and Marcial for follow up
  • Digital anatomic pathology workflow development considerations.docx
    • Vendor participants – Mary reached out to Michael and found out, that there was no further development:
    • DICOM WG 26 is meeting October 1 – collect questions for them = share the APW specifications and modification proposal to the DICOM WG meeting
    • Looking for more input from across the globe
    • Goal is the modified APW draft for review at F2F
    • EPIC is interested (Connect with David Beckman) – give update on where they are, Raj and Dan will meet next week
    • Recommended modifications to APW as working title for the white paper
    • Will need to coordinate with DICOM folks
    • Mary to reach out to Bruce Beckwith - main focus at the DICOM WG will be connectathon
  • Structured Reporting Profile for Data Capture project
    • Sharing Raj’s word document: PALM_SR_v09202017.docx
    • Enhance interoperability between disparate system
    • Rather political than technical, so we will describe the problem first – in white paper
    • Happy to see the work that has been done in Art Décor, as that supports this kind of federated development and tooling of what we try to do here
    • Collected use cases and prioritized those
    • Describes standards and systems
    • Potentially using SDC
      • eCC protocols are now published in SDC fomat (beta version)
      • Public specification
      • Open for use in crowd source development
      • IHE in radiology working on structured reporting – would be good to do cross-domain collaboration; need to find out what tools are used there
      • Cancer Care Ontario has been working on development in SDC in radiology domain (David Quan? Sandy to share)
    • Share this white paper with DCC to get better exposure
    • Development for common data element registry to be addressed cross domain
    • Tooling available in Art Décor
      • Some education on how to use, but potentially needs to be improved – try out a pilot
      • Consider the technical framework as well as the semantic interoperability layer – so we will need to set up IP licensing / agreements – so need to get some legal help with that
      • Synoptic reports from CAP were moved into the SDC, but not identified as such and then also map into some of the questions in the forms to LOINC / SCT – all of that will have to happen to make that work – need to have the data element identified in a globally unique manner
        • CAP is using the CQ? In SDC – so if you track them back they should be the same, as long as the semantic meaning hasn’t changed
        • Also working on mapping into SNOMED CT – working with university of Nebraska– large task; also the granularity of SCT will have to be considered when we do this mapping and the utility for coding the data element level – as pre-coordinated or post-coordinated approach – they have some examples of the mappings for eCC
        • Nebraska created some local codes to create the pre-coordinated concepts
        • EPIC interested in that development
        • Discuss at user group meeting next week
    • Next update at F2F
