Consolidated Cardiology Report Content Profile Planning

Four profiles were initially submitted for consideration in the 2016-2017 cycle. As the process developed, two profiles were removed, and the remaining two profiles, CRC and CIRC, were considered to blend into one structured reporting profile to address diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The implementation of the separate profiles has been limited, so the thought was to make the profile more applicable to a wider audience. This would also leverage the work done with EPRC-IE which strengthens all of the profiles, and will harmonize all three profiles in the long run.

Project Goals: 1. Update CRC to ver 2.1 2. CIRC update to CRC and EPRC and base it on CCDA templates

The harmonizes with the ACC Registry, and industry approaches of one way to submit data to any registry. One consideration is the planning for bandwidth to complete the work.This will further encourage the standardization of terminology. It make help the NCDR to have a recommendation from IHE regarding this process. The Cath PCI 5.0 Update, from 4.4, is vital to make this profile a success as vendors will not spend the time and money to implement a version that has a brief lifespan.Any ACC comment from would need to be provided by the end of Jan 2017 for inclusion in this release.

AbdulMalik shared a presentation regarding the work process for Consolidating the RCS-C and RCS-EP. Including description of the primary template containment structures and codes. Oozeki-san shared the IHE-Japan experience and how the national extensions differ from the CV registry submission process.

Consolidated CRC, Part 1

Chris Melo presented the CIRC Templates and reviewed the details regarding the three base use cases and areas to be considered for update in 2016, and the document level data elements to assess where probable work objects would be needed. Some are CCDA and some are not. This may led to developing a common set of templates for cardiology, could be an asset to the Radiology Domain, though some variances exist in workflows between areas.
