• Call for proposal announcement
  • Open Dec to end of January – review in Feb call

(see File:20171213 IHE PaLM DomainReport.docx )

 

• Call planning proposed schedule for second hour:
  • Jan 10: Digital Pathology
  • Feb 14: LCC comment review, SET
  • Mar 14: TMA
  • Apr 11: Digital Pathology
  • May 9: Digital Pathology
  • Jun: F2F meeting

 

• Digital Pathology (Raj)
  • Reviewing White paper draft (track changes on):
  • Change scope to Digital Medicine to make broader (EDM)
  • Some additional audience
  • Definition of Anatomic Pathology needs to be expanded (Pathologist to do)
  • Result in EDM – the report or the digital asset or both?
  • Result = report should be handled by APSR and other profiles
  • Digital asset here and then define profiles
  • Analytics on top of the digital asset, where the digital asset is treated like the specimen = stand-alone result in a report, when outside of the AP lab vs component inside the lab may get different treatment
  • Any result reported outside of the filler lab should be part of report
  • Need to add to ILW to support digital pathology specific data elements
  • Do we need APW middleware workflow – AP and tracking in automation (Leica/Ventana?) =>  Raj and JD to draft
  • More detail in histologic events
  • Parents for digital assets
  • In general from single patient for all derivatives
  • Tissue marker array (DICOM has use case, since multiple different tissue types from multiple patients on single slide)
  • Open issue, because this may be more for research than direct care provision / need to look at the specimen model in HL7 DAM and DICOM
  • Donor tissue review = also as open issue
  • Environmental testing (public health outbreak testing
  • Add legacy images as a use case
  • Raj will draft responses to additions and share this among the authors
  • Select the sections you want to work on
  • DICOM has asked if we know vendors that will attend the joint meeting with DICOM – reach  out to your contacts to attend the meeting in Jun
  • Roche is working on getting contacts from Ventana – Raj to connect with Mario about who they are working with and join forces
  • Need to finalize agenda for June meeting and send request for participation
  • Mary has been contacting Clarista pathologists – include Dan R so that can be coordinated
  • Dan CICOM Co-Chair (May 29 in PM for joint meeting)
  • UPMC started digital pathology reference lab – Inspirata / solutions vendor
  • Raj sent communications to these – Leica, Roche, Philips, Inspirata, Sectra, OptraScan
  • NCI also interested in including AP/Digital Pathology in the BRIDG model for balloting at HL7/DICOM and ISO

   

  Second hour:  An extra quarter taken on second hour with SET discussion led by Alessandro

  • SET (Alessandro)
    • Thirst gap analysis of the base standard HL7 v2 to select the best suited message structures.
    • Some structures better fit some events (like OML for “specimen collected”), and others better fit to other events such as shipping message structures for “specimen accepted”.
    • We have a choice to make between two paths:
  1. Work with existing message structures from the base standard and pick as many as needed, but with clear one-to-one mapping from specimen event to message structure.
  2. Build a new message structure suiting all SET event needs with HL7.

  Next call will give the facts and arguments of both ways, to facilitate the choice.
