Proposal Review

The 7 Detailed Proposals were summarized (5 min each) and discussed (10-15 min each).

Tech Cmte Maintenance work was estimated at around 5% this year.

• Few CPs in queue, No major CPs, No urgent CPs, Large numbers of CPs not expected
• Some work may be required for NM
• Significant Editing not expected for Spanish or Japanese National Extensions
• German National Extension possible, but likely not until spring

The Proposals, effort estimates for one or more defined approaches, and and straw poll popularity (choose two favorites) are listed here:

Proposal	Alternative Approaches with estimated % effort	Straw Poll
Radiation Dose	25% .......for dose capture and submission to registries 30-35% ..to also support download of Dose benchmarks/statistics	2
Enhanced DICOM	35% ......for 3 Profiles (General Enhanced, Contrast Perfusion, Multistack Spine) 55% ......for 4 Profiles (General Enhanced, Contrast Perfusion, Multistack Spine, Cardiac Imaging)	3
Mammo CAD Workflow	35% ......Mammo CAD Profile as described (triggers and behaviors)	0
PDI for Large Datasets	30% Note: DVD Compatibility testing to gather concrete information on the scale and nature of the problem will take place at the January Connectathon regardless of whether a profile is scheduled for development this year.	4
Mammo Acquisition Workflow	35-45% .....if Profile based on current SWF 10-15% .....if just a User's Handbook on how to deploy Mammo Acquisition with the current SWF	3
Scheduled Workflow 2.0	200% ...........SWF II over two years. No public comment this year. Interim Whitepaper for Mammography Acquisition. 105%/105% ..Develop Ordering (HL7) this year; Acquisition (DICOM) the next. Risk of missing dependencies. 50%/160% ....Develop Use Cases this year; Profile the next year or two.	6
Critical Results	N/A (PCC plans to evaluate the detailed proposal)	0

Reporting is going to move out of band.
