Rad TF Maintenance 2015-16

Target Dates:

• Publish CP Ballot in early-Jan 2016 (for CPs needed for IHE-Europe Connectathon in April 2016)
  • Allow adequate time at the Nov F2F Meeting to prep for this
• Publish CP Ballot at end-of-April 2016
• Incorporate FT CPs into updated TF released July 2016

Number of outstanding CPs:

• XX Assigned CPs to work on

• For specifics refer to [1] and sort by Status
• (about 2/3 are stagnant) Should do a review/triage of dormant CPs and cancel or re-start

• X Completed CPs that failed ballot and need to be reworked

• X Submitted CPs to review/assign (as of Sept 24)

• ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Radiology/TF_Maintenance/0.Submitted_CPs

• X Final Text CPs to confirm have been incorporated into TF

List of "non-trivial" CPs:

• CP-xxx :

List of outstanding items not yet submitted as CPs:

• ??

List of other maintenance tasks:

• Repeat TOP TEN CPs process

• note that the list of CPs is increasing, not decreasing
• CP author distribution

• IHE-J National Extension document may need additional work (focus on SWF.b)
• Add 2 (estimated) FT Supplements to TF
• Cleanup of Cross-Referencing to ITI (they renumbered their sections)
• MIMA needs to be updated to SWF.b
• D. IHE Radiology Tech Comm Work Continuation - Proposal -presented by Teri Sippel Schmidt, but withdrawing and transferring to Tech Comm
• Adoption of new IHE Templates for Tech Framework
  • An upcoming forcing function will be when we make Final Text any of the new supplements that have used the new supplement template which is intended to align with the new TF Template.
• Profile Pages on Wiki

• Per the DCC, we are supposed to be including a short description on the wiki for each Supplement as it reaches TI stage. Radiology is 15 supplements behind and we need to get back up to date. The list of late updates is here (in orange): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5aw4hgezmyJpt8eRwk35S6ofu93YU9u03h4LdVOKzI/edit?hl=en&authkey=CID59tIJ#gid=2 This will be enforced going forward. (8/25/2015) The short version goes here: http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Profiles
• This task was originally assigned to the Planning Cmte. Does the Tech Cmte want to adopt it?

7. Risks

• Risk of effort spent on updating existing Supplements and TF to match new templates being low return-on-investment. (although it does have some payoff in terms of easier to read/understand spec for implementers, possibly lower error rate, and it will reduce work for volume editors folding new template supplements into the TF if the TF is aligned.)

9. Tech Cmte Evaluation

Effort Evaluation (as a % of Tech Cmte Bandwidth):

• xx% to do the identified work
• yy% if the Planning Cmte wants us to start dropping bits of maintenance work in favor of new Profile work
