Displayable Reports Integration Profile (DRPT)

A 2005 Supplement to the IHE Cardiology Technical Framework defined a new Displayable Reports Integration Profile (DRPT). It described a means to distribute “display ready” cardiology clinical reports from the department to the enterprise. During the Trial Implementation period of June 2005 through March 2006, inconsistencies were noted between the Profile and current understandings for the use of the HL7 Standard. Indeed, finding such inconsistencies is precisely the point of the Trial Implementation period. However, the IHE Cardiology Technical Committee has decided to reissue the Supplement with a major revision to the DRPT Profile. Because this reissued Supplement introduces substantive changes to the Profile’s Transactions, the DRPT Profile Connectathon results for 2006 will have a note that the Trial Implementation version of the Profile for that year is substantially different from the Profile in 2007 and subsequent years.
