IHERO Use Case Submission Overview

We need your help to define radiotherapy interoperability issues for IHE-RO to solve !!

Do you have a problem in your clinic where one type of equipment or software has trouble communicating with another?

Let Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise - Radiation Oncology (IHE-RO) help. We are looking for “Use Cases” to help us define radiotherapy problems of interoperability. The Use Cases we're looking for describe, ideally in a vendor neutral way, interoperability issues between vendors.

These Use Cases need to be submitted by Friday, March 11, 2011 for consideration in the 2011-2012 development cycle. The IHE-RO development cycle for 2011-12 is summarized [[ |here]
