Discussion

• F2F Meeting Agenda May 2-4 in Ghent, Belgium
  • Mary to post RSVP for meeting and include draft agenda
  • Proposed Agenda
    • Digital Pathology:
      • FHIR diagnosticReport (possibly with HL7 Belgium) / DEMIS reporting (ask Sylvia Thun) (https://simplifier.net/demis- from January 12, 2022 PaLM call) = 4 hours
        • Digital Evidence profile creation
        • Proficiency Testing profile creation
        • Preparation for meeting with DICOM WG 26
          • F2F IHE PaLM meeting at ECDP in June in Berlin (also virtual)
          • Agenda for joint meeting: How to support DICOM annotations with vendors; terminology, standardization and reporting
    • Continuation of Transfusion Medicine discussions
      • Two new profiles to be discussed:
        • TMO: Transfusion Medicine Ordering
        • TMD: Transfusion Medicine Dispense
      • Feedback on profile:
        • TMA: Transfusion Medicine Administrator
    • eXHealth discussions around CDA / FHIR
    • Meeting with Netherlands company = 4 hours
    • Updates from around the world = 1-2 hours
    • Changes to the IHE LAW / SET / Technical Framework = 1-2 hours\
    • Preparing for joint meeting with DICOM at ECDP
• Invitation for ECDP in Berlin in June to meet with DICOM WG26
  • Riki will be there in person, but maybe others can join
  • Main agenda points – how to support DICOM annotations going forward with vendors
  • Evidence creation profile needs a vendor to help move that forward
  • Once dates/times are finalized, Mary will send a poll to ask who will be there in person and who will attend virtually
  • Time difference is +6 hours to ET – expect meeting to be in the afternoon
  • For the pre-conference day could be making virtual attendance possible for the IHE PaLM sessions, but not for the scientific sessions
  • Have dedicated sessions on terminology, standardization, and reporting
  • Have a lot of vendors for PACs and middleware in the exhibition hall - harder to have LIS vendors, most of them are only in 1-2 countries at the most
• Ruben Fernandes (Sectra) – Spain project
  • Has been working on digital pathology but hurdles with DICOM, LIS companies and the transactions between LIS and PACs
  • DPIA is first one; using APW instead until DPIA is more built out.
  • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8240547/
  • Order filler to image manager is missing
  • https://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Anatomic_Pathology_Workflow
  • Looking for the transactions we need to use for these
    • Specifically order filler and image manager – reviewed DPIA doesn’t include that transaction
      • Has LIS – Scanner and Scanner-PACS, but not PAC to LIS (match data between LIS and scanned slide data; missing between order filler and image manager = PAT-4 in APW)
  • Will implement APW for now, since that has only = https://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Anatomic_Pathology_Workflow
  • Several of these have not been written – here is the link to the white paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8240547/
    • Figure 4
      • Also missing this transaction in that figure – compare to PAT-4
      • There is some difference between the requirements by DICOM and the lab order workflow – will need to study the differences
  • This project is required to use HL7 standards, so will be working on that
  • Sectra may be interested in helping with the evidence creation profile at a later date
• Updates on current projects
  • No one on for Telemedicine
  • SET Connectahon test scripts due next month
• eXHealth
  • not on
