Rad Plan Future Agenda Topics
Feel free to add proposed agenda items here.
Urgent: For Next Meeting
Try to indicate why it's urgent
- Engage with nhindirect.org
- They are looking for near-term practical steps forward for the U.S. NHIN
- A number of IHE/DICOM solutions fit the bill.
- We should get them on radar early.
Near Term: For Upcoming Meeting
Describe near term topic
- Radiology entries in IHE Profile Catalog
- The Catalog is intended to be a go-to place for users searching for relevant profiles
- It also provides basic "one-pager" marketing materials for use at trade shows, conferences, etc.
- Half a dozen Rad profiles still need writeups
- XDS.b Document Management and Privacy
- Review the XDS.b options on the Document Consumer and Document Source
- They address use cases that are analagous for Imaging Reports and Images
- Need to analyze RAD use cases and consider a work item to address them
- Possibly by adopting/tweaking the XDS.b options (e.g., XDS.b named options for the Document Source)
- This overlaps heavily with the issues being considered by IHE Canada/Infoway
- Try to involve David Heaney, Peter Bak, etc.
- Review the XDS.b options on the Document Consumer and Document Source
- Post-Processing and Reporting Workflow
- Review current status
- Discuss appropriate plans
- Consider using the Evaluation of Published Profiles Process to organize discussion
"Parking Lot": For Someday
Review these from time to time for activation
- Targetted Webinar Invites
- Consider identifying profiles we want to specifically promote (e.g. new TI)
- Assemble a mailing list of likely implementers
- Send a targetted email identifying the profile and a bit of a business case and provide info to attend the webinar for the full story.
- NEMA DICOM Library
- Vendors who create objects have not been populating the library
- One reason may be lack of a carrot
- IHE has played with the idea of making Products (vs Prototypes) a more prominant part of Connectathon
- Combining these, perhaps vendors could sign up to do Product Testing vs Prototype Testing (similar to the current supportive vs comprehensive)
- One requirement for passing the Product level could be to post objects to the NEMA Library
- Marketing Review
- Review coverage at relevant conferences and supplement as necessary
- RSNA
- SIIM
- AHRA
- Europe?
- Asia?
- More?
- Review coverage at relevant conferences and supplement as necessary
- Consider refactoring XDS-I.b into:
- An XDS Content profile - for the sharing of the DICOM manifest and the PDF or CDA-wrapped reports
- A "workflow-type" Profile that orchestrates the sharing of the DICOM Manifest with the retrieval of the DICOM objects referenced by the manifest.
- Also consider if/ how XDS-SD (XDS for Scanned Documents) can be used in place of (or in conjunction with) the current specification for sharing reports.
