PCD Profile Device Point-of-Care Integration (DPI)

Overview

The Device Point-of-care Integration (DPI) profile proposal is concerned with use cases that involve the interoperability of equipment around the point-of-care, often patient connected. In previous PCD development Cycles, this profile was named "plug-and-play (PnP)"; however, after further consideration, this was seen as a bit too narrow and thus the DPI moniker more accurate and inclusive. The profile will focus primarily on technical interoperability (e.g., Volume 2 - Transactions) but will integrate with device specialization "semantic content" profiles to provide for interoperability from the physical connection to abstract device data and services.

It should be noted that the DPI profile is viewed as foundational (e.g., as the ITI XDS profile set), and additional profiles shall be added. For example, DPI-PNP vs. DPI-XC (external control). Therefore, some of the current discussion will look at the overall scope of DPI, and generate a roadmap of profiles, some of which are intended for the next PCD profile development cycle (e.g., basic Plug-and-Play), and some that will come in future cycles (e.g., closed-loop control).

Action Items

(add newest items to the top of the list)

No.	Action Item	Owner	Participants	Due	Open/Closed	Description/Update
6	Add Decisions table to DPI wiki page	Todd Cooper		2008.09.22	Complete	See below. The minutes need to be more consistent regarding the capture of key decisions.
5	Schedule DPI meeting on 2008.09.22	Todd Cooper		2008.09.12	Complete	Only one day during the week of 2008.09.22 is available for meetings. Schedule one for that Monday (i.e., draft a Doodle poll for this). Doodle Schedule poll Scheduled for 2008.09.22 @ 10:00 Eastern.
4	Clearly define the relationship between DPI and other IHE TF Profiles (existing & proposed)	Todd Cooper		2008.09.12	Open	Create a graphic representation of these profile relationships. This should be similar to diagrams provided by IHE domains such as ITI.
3	Change mail groups etc. to reflect "DPI"	Todd Cooper		2008.09.12	Complete	Change the PnP Google Group to reflect the decision for DPI. Harmonize also with any related wiki information.
2	Migrate Current PCD "PnP" Detailed Profile Proposal Content	Todd Cooper		2008.10.01	Open	Move the content that was previously in the the PCD PnP detailed profile proposal into either a white paper for DPI or one or more profile proposals. To reduce duplication, profile proposals may reference use cases identified in the white paper.
1	Add White Paper proposals for PCD Consideration	Todd Cooper		2008.09.12	Open	Add white paper proposals for: Device Point-of-Care Integration Regulatory Considerations (esp. for medical device related profiles) Medical Device Semantic Architecture NOTE: The process for white papers will reviewed from domains such as ITI, which has developed quite a few of these papers

Working Group Decisions

NOTE: These decisions are in addition to the action items listed above.

No.	Decision	Date	Description
1	Profile Name	2008.09.09	Name of profile set shall be "Device Point-of-care Integration" (DPI)
2	Device Scope	2008.09.09	DPI shall include: All equipment around the point-of-care (as much as possible), not just traditional critical care devices. Not only acute care contexts, but per the PCD charter, other use cases that include at least one medical device.
3	ICE Use Case Support	2008.09.22	As appropriate & agreed upon, the DPI White Paper should include / reference use cases identified in the ICE document. It is the intent that PCD DPI profiles will directly support ICE compliant networks.
