==2. The Problem==
 +
Though the IHE PCD scope has included both point-of-care and enterprise integration of medical devices and medical device information, the group's primary focus up to this point has been on the enterprise and end-to-end semantic interoperability.  When discussing integration of medical devices around the point-of-care as the next major area of PCD focus, many questions arise ranging from what exactly is meant by "point-of- care" to the use cases, potential topologies and technologies that should be addressed by this profile.  Indeed, given the breadth of the problem space, it has become clear that multiple profiles will be required to address the proposed subject areas. 
 +
 +
This Device Point-of-care Integration (DPI) white paper is intended to provide an overview of the use cases and integration problems to be addressed by the IHE PCD's future profile development activities.  It will include an exemplary set of '''''use cases''''', '''''care context topological models''''', '''''integration problem''''' and '''''technology''''' specific discussions, and a '''''road map''''' of PCD profiles and white papers that should be developed to support DPI.
 +
 +
In previous development cycles (through 2007.06), the PCD was developing a "Plug-and-Play" (PnP) profile; however, in discussions for this Cycle 4 activity, it was determined that PnP was too narrow and should be extended to DPI, which also balances well with Device to Enterprise Communication (DEC).  Thus, the DPI work is intended to include and go beyond previous PCD PnP profile development. 
 +
 +
 +
==3. Key Use Cases==
 +
The potential use cases to be considered within the scope of DPI are numerous; however, the examples listed below are exemplary (not exhaustive) of those to be considered as part of the white paper and the DPI profile set.  When reviewing the proposed topics & outline below, many other use cases might be suggested.
 +
 +
Additionally, the IHE PCD DPI WG is coordinating with the '''''"ICE"''''' (Integrated Clinical Environment) team (ASTM F29.21) to analyze how its cases and conceptual model might be supported by DPI profiles and existing medical device informatics standards.

2. The Problem

Though the IHE PCD scope has included both point-of-care and enterprise integration of medical devices and medical device information, the group's primary focus up to this point has been on the enterprise and end-to-end semantic interoperability. When discussing integration of medical devices around the point-of-care as the next major area of PCD focus, many questions arise ranging from what exactly is meant by "point-of- care" to the use cases, potential topologies and technologies that should be addressed by this profile. Indeed, given the breadth of the problem space, it has become clear that multiple profiles will be required to address the proposed subject areas.

This Device Point-of-care Integration (DPI) white paper is intended to provide an overview of the use cases and integration problems to be addressed by the IHE PCD's future profile development activities. It will include an exemplary set of use cases, care context topological models, integration problem and technology specific discussions, and a road map of PCD profiles and white papers that should be developed to support DPI.

In previous development cycles (through 2007.06), the PCD was developing a "Plug-and-Play" (PnP) profile; however, in discussions for this Cycle 4 activity, it was determined that PnP was too narrow and should be extended to DPI, which also balances well with Device to Enterprise Communication (DEC). Thus, the DPI work is intended to include and go beyond previous PCD PnP profile development.


3. Key Use Cases

The potential use cases to be considered within the scope of DPI are numerous; however, the examples listed below are exemplary (not exhaustive) of those to be considered as part of the white paper and the DPI profile set. When reviewing the proposed topics & outline below, many other use cases might be suggested.

Additionally, the IHE PCD DPI WG is coordinating with the "ICE" (Integrated Clinical Environment) team (ASTM F29.21) to analyze how its cases and conceptual model might be supported by DPI profiles and existing medical device informatics standards.
