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.
