2. The Problem

The public health cancer registry has several requirements in order to transmit a report accurately. These requirements are implemented in a variety of ways by each vendor, which is resource intensive in terms of creation and validation, and difficult to maintain. Requirements include case identification and criteria for when to report. This problem exist for ambulatory EMR vendors and Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Information System Vendors.

<Now describe the Value Statement: what is the underlying cost incurred by the problem, what is to be gained by solving it>

3. Key Use Case

1. See Public Health Reporting Use Cases in the IHE-QRPH RPE Profile.

<Feel free to add a second use case scenario demonstrating how it “should” work. Try to indicate the people/systems, the tasks they are doing, the information they need, and hopefully where the information should come from.>

4. Standards and Systems

<List existing systems that are/could be involved in the problem/solution.>

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

5. Discussion

The authors of the IHE-QRPH PRPH (Scharber, Blumenthal) and the IHE-AP-ARPH (Scharber, Jones (formerlyThames) ) supplements propose to evaluate and implement appropriate portions of RPE.

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>

<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>

<This is the brief proposal. Try to keep it to 1 or at most 2 pages>

<Delete this Category Templates line since your specific Profile Proposal page is no longer a template.>
