This Wiki page is currently the "live" version of the whitepaper. It will later be re-integrated with the Word Document.
There seems to be some Really Good, Really Relevant material discussed at the Intersociety Summer Conference, July 27-29, 2007. <Upload Program and Link Here>.
The optimistic goal of the whitepaper is to:
- Describe the “problem” and related details
- Break it down into component pieces
- Document some technologies that could improve things
- Propose some steps forward for coming years, including:
- New IHE Profiles
- IHE Profiles to be modified
- IHE Profiles to be retired
The plan is to facilitate discussion with other IHE Domains and hopefully reach some cross-Domain consensus so we are moving in compatible directions.
Since this whitepaper is a contribution of IHE Radiology to the IHE Reporting Taskforce, the focus and viewpoint may reflect its origins. Contributions from other Domains to fill in blind-spots and balance the viewpoint are welcome.
Whitepaper Structure
Section 1 presents working premises so any disagreement about the thinking/biases underlying the whitepaper can be challenged and discussed directly.
Section 2 describes the Report itself (content).
- what information does it contain and how is it structured
Section 3 examines the Reporting Process (workflow/dataflow).
- identify the tasks surrounding reporting, the data produced and the inputs required
Section 4 describes technical issues which need to be addressed.
Section 5 presents and evaluates parts of the solution.
- for each data, identify formats for encoding and mechanisms for transport
- select mechanisms for managing the workflow that surrounds the creation, manipulation and transportation of the data.
Section 6 introduces several real-world (Radiology) reporting environments
- describe the current typical practices (baseline expectations) and associated problems
- describe how the solution would be applied to their workflow/architecture
- Section 6.1 A Radiology Department (i.e. Hospital)
- Section 6.2 An Imaging Center
- Section 6.3 A Reporting Service (e.g. Nighthawk, NightShift)
Section 7 proposes activities to implement/deploy the conclusions above.
