Profile Overview Template

This is a template page. CLICK HERE if you're not sure how to use it. DO NOT MODIFY this page unless you are changing the template for all future users.

This template is for the one or two page user-oriented overview of an IHE Profile that is in Final Text, Trial Implementation or perhaps Public Comment.

<Your page name should simply be Full Profile Name Profile with spaces, with capitals, without the acronym. e.g. Scheduled Workflow Profile>

<Tell a user in one sentence what the profile is about (including the acronym) so they can decide if they're on the right page (and copy this one sentence description into the Profiles page as well), e.g. Scheduled Workflow (SWF) integrates ordering, scheduling, imaging acquisition, storage and viewing for Radiology exams. >

<If you are adding a Profile, you may also want to add a section to the pages for existing Actors or copy the Actor Template if creating a new Actor.>

Summary

<Describe the profile in about a paragraph using user-oriented language.>

<Include a simple graphic that, at a glance, gives an impression of what the profile does. The actor/transaction diagram usually requires an understanding of IHE actors and transactions and what they mean so it's not exactly "at a glance" but failing a more user-friendly graphic, it is acceptable.

<See Help - Tips and Tricks for details on including an image/graphic.>

Benefits

<List the key benefits the profile provides. Try to indicate HOW the profile provides benefits. E.g. SWF reduces patient errors due to mistyped demographics at the modality by transfering them electronically from the Order Filler.>

Details

<Detailed discussion (a few paragraphs) of what the profile does and how it works>

Systems Affected

<List (in user terms) systems that would be likely candidates for implementing this profile, e.g. RIS, PACS, HIS, CAD Workstation, etc. >
