Cardiology strategic planning

Cardiology Strategic Planning

Strategic Priorities

IHE Cardiology is planning work in the following areas:

• Improve information exchange between different healthcare providers by defining CDA implementation guides for different subspecialites in Cardiology (eg. Cardiac Catherization Electrophysiology)
• Usage of structured data through transformation of key data elements into CDA document format for preparation of Quality-Registry submissions (e.g. NCDR-ICD, NCDR-PCI, PINNACLE)
• Define EP Lab workflow and data exchange
• Incorporate information exchange with EMR systems into Cardiology workflows
• Promote use of Cross-Enterprise profiles in the Cardiology field
• Promote use of Cardiology-domain-developed profiles with wider applicability to other domains (e.g. IEO, DRPT)
• Define profiles supporting Meaningful Use

Cross Domain Activities

Domain	Liason	Activity
IT Infrastructure
Patient Care Coordination		Re-use of CDA templates
Patient Care Devices	Bryan Jennings	IDCO Profile
Quality, Research, Public Health	Harry Solomon	Submission to cardiac registries Quality measure reporting for cardiac indicators
Radiology	Antje Schroeder	Re-use of workflow profiles Enhancement to imaging workflow based on cardiology use cases: Intermittently connected modalities MWL Query by Admission ID Document (CDA) references in orders and MWL Issuer of Patient ID / multiple Patient IDs (Dutch BSN, etc.)
