PCD Brief Profile Proposal 2008 DPI-DR

1. Proposed Workitem: Device Point-of-care Integration - Data Reporting (DPI-DR)

• Proposal Editor: Todd Cooper
• Editor: <Name of candidate Lead Editor for the Profile, if known>
• Date: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
• Version: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
• Domain: PCD

2. The Problem

Within the framework of Device Point-of-Care Integration (DPI) profiles, a basic function is for one device to report its information to another. This information reporting includes not only parametric information (e.g., heart rate), but operational settings, alarm conditions, waveforms, and device configuration.

This profile shall support those functions needed to support basic data reporting by systems in a DPI network.

3. Key Use Case

<Describe a short use case scenario from the user perspective. The use case should demonstrate the integration/workflow problem.>

<Feel free to add a second use case scenario demonstrating how it “should” work. Try to indicate the people/systems, the tasks they are doing, the information they need, and hopefully where the information should come from.>

4. Standards & Systems

<List existing systems that are/could be involved in the problem/solution.>

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

5. Discussion

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>

<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>
