PCD Brief Profile Proposal 2008 DPI-SYM
1. Proposed Workitem: Device Point-of-care Integration - Synchronous Communication (DPI-SYC)
- Proposal Editor: Todd Cooper
- Editor: <Name of candidate Lead Editor for the Profile, if known>
- Date: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Version: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Domain: PCD
2. The Problem
Within the framework of Device Point-of-Care Integration (DPI) profiles, many participating systems not only report their internal information but also have need for discovering, connecting to and retrieving information from external sources. This discovery and retrieval may be a one time occurrance (e.g., current patient weight), or it may be a persistent connection with specific quality of service requirements needed to support internal algorithmic functions.
This profile shall support those functions needed to achieve this bi-directional or "symmetric" communication between systems in a DPI network.
3. Key Use Case
<Infusion pump use case>
<Ventilator use case>
4. Standards & 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
- 1. This profile is one of the set of DPI profiles. It is dependent on the (proposed) DPI-DnA and DPI-DR profiles.
- 2. The associated standards are either in draft form or need some development. Completion of this profile is dependent on completion of those standards.
