1. HL7 2.5 Refactoring
2. Joint ITI/WG 26 DICOM Webservices Review and Discussion
- Radiology presented an update on its current relevant activities and its use cases for image sharing
- Currently revising XDS-I profile to use XDS.b only
- Tracking progress of supplemental profiles in ITI needed to support Web services model--such as XUA for role-based access control--but not currently confident that these solutions are ready for implementation
- Radiology Use Cases for Image Sharing
- Access to prior images and reports
- Access to diagnostic images and reports for referring physicians
- Point-to-point transfer of images and reports from site to site or from a site to an outside provider of longitudinal patient record, such as a Personal Health Record system vendor
- Remote reading model employed frequently requires access by radiologist to multiple image sources
- Moving Radiology to shared model of ITI XDS for Web services
- Can Radiology replace DICOM/Wado transport mechanisms with same Web Services transactions defined in ITI?
- Can Radiology simplify the "three-layer" model of XDS-I: registry/repository (with manifest only)/image source by enabling storage of images themselves in the repository layer
- Images need to be
