Try to indicate why it's urgent

Near Term: For Upcoming Meeting

Describe near term topic

• XDS.b Document Management and Privacy
  • Review the XDS.b options on the Document Consumer and Document Source
    • They address use cases that are analagous for Imaging Reports and Images
  • Need to analyze RAD use cases and consider a work item to address them
    • Possibly by adopting/tweaking the XDS.b options (e.g., XDS.b named options for the Document Source)
  • This overlaps heavily with the issues being considered by IHE Canada/Infoway
    • Try to involve David Heaney, Peter Bak, etc.

• Post-Processing and Reporting Workflow
  • Review current status
  • Discuss appropriate plans
  • Consider using the Evaluation of Published Profiles Process to organize discussion

"Parking Lot": For Someday

Review these from time to time for activation

• Targetted Webinar Invites
  • Consider identifying profiles we want to specifically promote (e.g. new TI)
  • Assemble a mailing list of likely implementers
  • Send a targetted email identifying the profile and a bit of a business case and provide info to attend the webinar for the full story.

• NEMA DICOM Library
  • Vendors who create objects have not been populating the library
  • One reason may be lack of a carrot
  • IHE has played with the idea of making Products (vs Prototypes) a more prominant part of Connectathon
  • Combining these, perhaps vendors could sign up to do Product Testing vs Prototype Testing (similar to the current supportive vs comprehensive)
  • One requirement for passing the Product level could be to post objects to the NEMA Library

• Marketing Review
  • Review coverage at relevant conferences and supplement as necessary
    • RSNA
    • SIIM
    • AHRA
    • Europe?
    • Asia?
    • More?

• Consider refactoring XDS-I.b into:
  • An XDS Content profile - for the sharing of the DICOM manifest and the PDF or CDA-wrapped reports
  • A "workflow-type" Profile that orchestrates the sharing of the DICOM Manifest with the retrieval of the DICOM objects referenced by the manifest.
  • Also consider if/ how XDS-SD (XDS for Scanned Documents) can be used in place of (or in conjunction with) the current specification for sharing reports.
