McCormick Place, Chicago

Demonstration/Communication Feedback

• Exhibit floor traffic and session attendance reasonably good
• REM profile potential candidate for 2009 demo
• Refocus on radiology within radiology department

• Renew process of gathering Success Stories
• Provide analysis of financial benefits?

• Canadian projects have done some analysis focusing on MPPS that suggested limited operational benefits
• Need specific focus on profiles/scenarios; difficult to generate broadly applicable numbers; have to include before/after analysis

• Focus on operational efficiency: eg, repeat rate, turnaround time, wait list length (Canada)
• Operations/management may be more interested in participating than physicians
• Create rubric for gathering case study information; provide incentives, visibility
• Develop online presentation/simulation of various IHE profiles/scenarios

• Acquisition workflow?

• Is it worthwhile promoting in current environment?
• Partial, incremental implementations
• 10+ year old technology
• Critical in providing good patient information at the start of the chain

• "Life of an Image" demonstration that covers whole gamut of departmental and cross-enterprise profiles, showing how IHE provides

• Focus group study of radiologists, referring physicians and operational people to gather feedback on perceptions of IHE, etc. AHRA, RDBMA as source of participants?

• Face to face meeting? Survey?
• Focus on before/after, efficiencies achieved

• Focus on referring physicians?

• "Revolt" around CDs

• Online validation software needs to be made more visible
• ACR refining CD validation software
• DRG, AMA and other physician organizations have endorsed PDI

• Reevaluate when new national projects in US are announced: could shift focus strongly to Image Sharing

Profile Development Update

• Basic Image Review

• PDI Extensions - DVD, USB, Compression, Encryption, Viewer and Sending Software

• Enhanced CT/MR Supplement

• Scheduled Workflow II Use Case and Technology Development

• XDS-I.b Supplement
