Minutes

• Reviewed profiles in preparation for selecting package of work items for development in 2011

• Management of Radiology Report Templates - Detailed Proposal

• Allows exchange of templates in vendor-independent format, encouraging adoption of structured templates to generate higher quality, more uniform reports

• Would support RSNA Reporting Committee and RadLex work in defining templates and controlled vocabulary for radiology reporting

• Dr. Langlotz willing to lead editorial team and will bring additional resources to work
• Work is likely to be significant for all the diagnostic specialties; radiology will lead but also communicate with cardiology, eye care, lab, etc.

• Imaging Object Quality Control and Maintenance - Detailed Proposal

• Uses DICOM standards to manage image sets across sites, including synchronization and acknowledgments, delete and replace functions

• Addresses problems encountered in areas where distributed PACS has been deployed, notably in Canadian Health System

• Agfa willing to lead team; will get help from DICOM experts, including Fred Behlen

• Reporting Workflow Revision - Detailed Proposal

• Uses emerging DICOM UPS worklist standard to streamline reporting and potentially post-processing
• Depends on emerging DICOM standard and SIIM TRIP work outcomes

• Cross-Community Access - Images (XCA-I) - Detailed Proposal

• Rad TF Maintenance 2010-11

• Proposed Slates

The following "slates of work" were proposed, listing a group of proposals and the estimated Tech Cmte bandwith. Slates significantly over 100% must indicate a ("below the line" proposal) which is to be dropped if the Tech Cmte runs into bandwidth problems.

Slate 1 - A1 B D E = 105%

Slate 2 - A1 (A2) B D E = 125%

Slate 3 - B D E = 85%

Slate 4 - (A1) B C E = 115%

Slate 5 - A1 C (D) E = 110%

Slate 6 - A1 A2 B E = 95%

Vote Talley - Slate 1 was selected with 5 votes
