IHERO UseCase 2010 Plan QA
1. Proposed Workitem: Radiation Oncology Plan QA
- Proposal Editor: Andrew Morrow, Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Tx
- Editor: Andrew Morrow, Colin Field
- Date: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Version: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Domain: Radiation Oncology
2. The Problem
One of our options for doing QA for a radiotherapy treatment plan is to check the plan another software product. If plans are not stored locally in a DICOM format, the plan must first be converted from a non DICOM format in a DICOM format and then exported to the system where it will be imported and QA'd. There are a number of problems with this process:
- We are unable to QA the plan as it is actually stored in the ARIA/ECLIPSE server
- It adds additional handling to the patients plan
- It adds time and effort into doing QA for a patient
3. Key Use Case
<Describe a short use case scenario from the user perspective. The use case should demonstrate the integration/workflow problem.>
<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 & 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
<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>
