Minutes
Scheduled Worflow II: Reviewed the open issues in Chris Lindop's draft document with comments from Christoph Dickmann to expand discussion in preparation for creating revised version of profile.
- Open Issues:
1. Image Manager/Image Archive Actor Grouping
- The question is whether to modify the way Image Manager and Image Archive are defined to either add transactions between them or possibly remove Image Archive from the profile
- Transactions between Image Manager and Image Archive might be non-DICOM (eg, HL7 or SQL)
- Use Cases for Defining Behaviors Between Image Manager and Image Archive:
- 1. Enable "plug and play" interoperability so sites could easily add or replace archives
- 2. Allow replacement of Image Manager without migration/replacement of Archive
- 3. General purpose archive that could store reports and other medical documents as well as images
- 4. Federation of Archives: Does this use case belong in a workflow profile? Federation of Image Managers is probably not feasible.
- 1. Enable "plug and play" interoperability so sites could easily add or replace archives
