Card Tech Minutes 2010.02.04

Minutes

Topic of this call was a joint discussion with IHE Radiology Technical committee to discuss the image enabled office profile:

• Based on the Actor Transaction diagram the basic concept was introduced:
  • Basic concepts of Echo/Cath workflow with simplified ordering.
  • No ADT and order placer, but basic functionality is taken over by the Practice Manager / EMR actor, grouped with a DSS/OF and Display actor
  • Image Manager grouped with PPS manager
  • Acquisition Modality / Image Display / Evidence creator as in Echo/Cath.
  • Report creator to submit reports to EMR system
• Discussion surrounding card specific transactions vs Radiology transactions:
  • Somehow content profiles for the different medical specialties need to be represented. In this context, Kevin O Donell is planning some refactoring of some of the existing transactions in order to better support domain specific content profiles. An example is to take specific display functionality out of the retrieve image transaction.
  • This is partially a marketing question as how to market and define in integration statements
• Communication with systems/actors outside the office:
  • XDS-I as is addresses this topic and therefore is not in the scope of this profile
• Some mechanism for handling standing worklist as offen happening for ECG is needed. In this context a PDQ query is needed.
• Discussion regarding the image generating image enabled office or the image receiving image enabled office:
  • The scope of this profile is the image generating image enabled office.
  • The question is whether Import Reconcilliation workflow is sufficient to address the Image Receiving part.
