Domain Coordination Issues

1. Domain Timeline Coordination

Updated Supplement Template

3. Review of definitions of R2 and RE (see discussion in 2008-08-18 minutes)

• There is no clear distinction between the definitions provided of R2 and RE in Technical Framework documents
• Perception of PCC, per Keith Boone, has been that RE is stricter than R2
• No distinction has been made in testing of R2 vs. RE elements per Steve Moore
• ITI uses both R2 and RE in PAM profile
• IHE Radiology created R2 designation based on Type 2 requirement definition in DICOM; however, R2 is only applied to HL7 elements in Rad TF; Rad would be amenable to adopting RE definition
• HL7 is working on refining RE definition for release of HL7 2.7 (timeline unknown)

• Action Item: Chris Carr to coordinate a meeting of interested parties during HL7 meeting in Vancouver to resolve disagreement and confusion and develop consistent definitions to be used in all TF documents
• Participants to include: Todd Cooper, John Moerhke, Rob Horn, Keith Boone, Francois Macary, Kevin O'Donnell

• Remaining questions:

• Is a "send if known" designation (R2 or RE) appropriate at all or should these elements simply be optional?
• Is there any meaningful distinction to be made between R2 and RE?
• Would it be useful to be more precise in defining behaviors of sending and receiving actors; perhaps including behavior of human actors?

4. HL7 Task Force Update

• Call took place on 2008-08-28
• Paul Seifert has submitted CP to Rad TF to fix conflict in HL7 versions and requirements for Acknowledgment Mode
• Other Radiology-specific issues to be addressed in updating Scheduled Workflow
