Editors: To convert your Brief Proposal to a Detailed Proposal:

• Use the new link above (Changed "Brief" to "Detailed")
• Copy your Brief proposal text into the new page (don't forget to save)
• Copy the Delta Proposal Template into the bottom of the new page
• Update as necessary
• Your goal is to give sufficient detail for the Tech Cmte to be able to evaluate the technical feasibility and effort required.

Brief Proposals

The following brief proposals were selected on Sept 17 for expansion to detailed proposals.

This first group will be evaluated in the context of a Radiology Image Sharing Roadmap to be sketched by the Planning Cmte.

• XDS-I Using XDS.b Technology - Brief Proposal
• PDI Extensions - Brief Proposal
• Basic Image Review - Brief Proposal
• Cross Community Access for Imaging (XCA-I) - Brief Proposal
• Image Management Enhancements - Brief Proposal

• Scheduled Workflow II Phase 2 - Brief Proposal was accepted. The detailed proposals will be re-drafted to focus on the first step of transitioning to HL7 2.5.1 and the drivers for doing so.

• Mammography Reporting Workflow - Brief Proposal was referred to the Mammo Subcmte. The detailed proposal should clarify the need for bidirectional integration rather than individual product features. A discussion issue should also be added about whether Mammo industry attention should be focused on a new profile or on rolling out the recently completed Mammo Acq. Workflow profile. The proposal must reviewed by the Mammography technical subcommittee.

• Enhanced DICOM Objects - Brief Proposal was accepted for the short list.

Call for Proposals

Interested parties were invited to submit proposal pages based on the Brief Proposal Template by Sept 15, 2008.

You are also welcome to update and resubmit proposals from prior years.
