Electrophysiology Report Content

Summary

This profile specifies the content structure for a clinical report of an electrophysiology procedure recorded in an EP Lab. Such procedures include Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implant, Permanent Pacemaker (PPM)/Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) Implant, Implantable Cardiac Monitor Implant, Lead Implant, ICD Explant, Generator Change, Lead Explant, Lead Abandonment, and Imaging associated with Implant/Explant (e.g., Venogram).

Benefits

<If the profile can improve Cost, Safety, Quality or Efficiency then list the specific examples of that benefit (e.g. error reduction, increased throughput) and how they come about (e.g. SWF reduces patient errors due to mistyped demographics at the modality by transfering demographics electronically from the Order Filler). Consider using a bullet list for readability. Such benefits help users and vendors make the business case for the profile. If the profile does not improve any aspect of Cost, Safety, Quality or Efficiency feel free to talk about something else here.>

Details

This profile provides an HL7 CDA Implementation Guide for an Electrophysiology Implant/Explant Procedure Report, derived from the Procedure Note specifications as defined in the IHE Health Story Consolidation, Release 1. The content is based on the ACC NCDR ICD Registry version 1.2 data set.

<A few paragraphs, if appropriate, providing more details (mostly in user-speak, not tech-speak) on what the profile does and how it works.>

<If the user might be familiar with the mechanisms used by the profile, you can mention them here. E.g. Evidence Documents is based on DICOM Structured Report (SR) Templates.>

<If the user might have an appreciation for the problems addressed in the profile, you can mention them here, but keep it short. E.g. Mapping HL7 Order fields to DICOM Modality Worklist attributes can be inconsistent in the marketplace, so Scheduled Workflow provides vendors with more detailed instructions.>

Systems Affected

<List (in user terms) the types of systems they might expect to have implemented actors from this profile, e.g. RIS, PACS, HIS, CAD Workstation, etc. and for each, how it would participate.>

• PACS systems may store, manage, and/or display Evidence Documents.
• Display systems may query, retrieve and display Evidence Documents.
• Reporting workstations may retrieve, process and include details from Evidence Documents in reports
