- CP-RAD-306 accepted as amended by Kinson
- MRRT Conditional Logic and Repeating Sections:
- Investigating general direction of IHE RAD CP-RAD-307 (MRRT support for conditional logic):
- There is general agreement that MRRT can leverage IHE SDC/xml for complex report templates that require conditional logic and repeating sections while maintaining the current html5 format for basic report templates.
- The method in which that will be accomplished is still in flux; this could be a Named Option (e.g., "Advanced Template") in MRRT or an MRRT.b profile.
- MRRT restful transport will still be used to transport SDC template.
- The editor/renderer that want to support both formats will need to support both formats simultaneously. No conversion from one format to another will be mandated. Having two formats without conversion will be a source of incompatibilities so in the long run the plan is to discontinue html5 in favor of SDC.
- Existing implementations of MRRT and existing report templates using MRRT HTML5 format (e.g. radreport.org) will continue to work.
- The MRRT Dublin Core elements will need to be mapped to SDC.
- A followup conference call will be scheduled to discuss additional details.

Post-PC Prep Assessment
MAP Management of Acquisition Protocols
No risky open issues?
- Basically
Did we get sufficient input on use cases
- Yes, good input from AAPM participants among others.
How is the work fitting in the allocated bandwidth? (Time to spare? Just right? Things were left undone?)
- About right.
Did we line-by-line the entire document
- Yes
Is it ready to go out for PC
- A few paragraphs to add as discussed, otherwise yes
How does the scope feel? (Room to expand? Just right? Pretty ambitious?) in terms of being a useful chunk of work
- Good.
If you had to reduce scope, what would you drop?
- NA
Have the promised resources manifested?
- Yes.
What tasks would benefit from additional expertise?
- Nice to have some community hosp input and tech input. Will seek during PC.
What vendors are engaged for each actor?
- Modalities (T, P, )
- (VNA would like a test object)
When will we have sample data/objects
- Good question, will look into it.
How many tcons would you like between now and the Trial Imp Meeting?
- One before PC and 1 before Trial Imp
Where was the profile at at the start of the PC Mtg and would you have preferred to have more, if so what
- Written with a few gaps in use cases and open issue.
Where was it at at the end of the meeting, are you comfortable with that, if not what more
- Would have been nice to be fully complete but it's OK where it is.
Did you know what feedback you needed and did you get the answers you needed
- Yes
Public Comment Plan:
Need AAPM CTAQ (Cody, Supanich), CT Subcommittee of AAPM (McNitt-Gray, McCullogh), AAPM Informatics (Bevins via Tim S.), RSNA RIC, Technologists (Dawn…), AHRA – Dianna can look into a contact, GE-Ken Denison, Siemens, Toshiba, Philips, Elliot Fischman, Stanford, Mike Bohl – non-academic imaging site,
Profile Name: SOLE
No risky open issues?
- No landmines.
Did we get sufficient input on use cases
- Pretty good.
How is the work fitting in the allocated bandwidth? (Time to spare? Just right? Things were left undone?)
- Some things still undone, not TOO far behind.
Did we line-by-line the entire document
- No. Skipped use cases, Concepts.
Is it ready to go out for PC
- Not until a few more things done, maybe a week of work.
How does the scope feel? (Room to expand? Just right? Pretty ambitious?) in terms of being a useful chunk of work
- About right
If you had to reduce scope, what would you drop?
- could drop events, but doesn't change much. Some scope creep in BI analysis. Keeping a lid on.
Have the promised resources manifested?
- More or less. More editing would be nice but schedules were tight.
What would benefit from additional expertise?
- Writing volume was underestimated but expertise availability was as needed.
What vendors are engaged for each actor?
- Spectators. Some gaps in ACTIVE involvement. We're asking many different systems to pitch in. Not asking a lot but it's asking something new and it reopens code without a HUGE individual benefit for the extra work. Will have to be customer driven.
- BI Vendors are interested and get the most value. This will improve their situation a bit.
When will we have sample data/objects
- Good question. How big?
- Will put the one event sample on the FTP during Pub Cmt.
- Would be a good student project to work some up.
How many tcons would you like between now and the Trial Imp Meeting?
- Want 2 but will only have time for 1.
Where was the profile at at the start of the PC Mtg and would you have preferred to have more, if so what
- It was a first draft of all the sections but the contents were not completed. Did a fair bit of work finishing population of the list of events and the event details.
- Would be nice to have a 5 day meeting. Would have needed more pre-meeting tcons.
Where was it at at the end of the meeting, are you comfortable with that, if not what more
- Role tables are missing. Some of the tables are not populated yet so reviewers need to help complete the table rather than review it.
- Need a bunch of radlex codes. General formatting
Did you know what feedback you needed and did you get the answers you needed
- Yes. Got the answers needed from this meeting.
What are the biggest risks now?
- Not enough time to get a clean PC draft together
- Asking lots of vendors to make small changes to lots of products - profile risk
- Worried about dashboard lag - deployment risk
Profile Name: FUNC
Opening comments; Would have benefited from:
- a whitepaper in the first year, profile second
- experienced author from the get go
- high level powerpoint two to three weeks earlier would have gotten Mildenberger feedback and done better analysis on tcon to start the do over earlier
- good to have fundamental structural tcon early
- people like sending out powerpoints so they get feedback
- due to level of interest from many people and complexity of profile concept, have a PPT during PC to help reviewers.
- between language and concepts it's hard to review
- many people have put in time
- maybe have an orientation tcon DURING public comment which can be recorded
- effort was underestimated, understanding was not as complete
- input was a bit too US centric
- Lynn feels like we're rushing, can we slip 6 months
- Google docs is great for collaboration - need to get the back to word conversion
- Teri and Steve had good work contacting vendors at HIMSS, although they didn't show up this week.
- Having chairs of institution going with the PC will help
- how did we miss the Euro interest during profile selection
No risky open issues?
- A few yes. mACM is a bit new.
Did we get sufficient input on use cases
- Yes. Lots
How is the work fitting in the allocated bandwidth? (Time to spare? Just right? Things were left undone?)
- Running behind+++
Did we line-by-line the entire document
- No.
Is it ready to go out for PC
- No.
How does the scope feel? (Room to expand? Just right? Pretty ambitious?) in terms of being a useful chunk of work
- Took a bit to grapple, but it feels on target now.
If you had to reduce scope, what would you drop?
- Bail to whitepaper and do 2 years.
Have the promised resources manifested?
- Not fully, lots of good use case input and lots of support, but needed to transfer author.
- Supposed to get some Critical Results vendors input and didn't at all.
What tasks would benefit from additional expertise?
- We're good
What vendors are engaged for each actor?
- Rmanager - MModal
- FollowupSource - Primordial, AscendHIT, McKesson
- AlertReproter/Agg - Epic, McKesson
When will we have sample data/objects
- Someday after TI
How many tcons would you like between now and the Trial Imp Meeting?
- 3. 2 for review, 1 for PC kickoff, 1 for triage PC
Where was the profile at at the start of the PC Mtg and would you have preferred to have more, if so what
- Debacle, Needed more time to prep. Development comments came in too late.
- Would have wanted everything except use cases needed more
Where was it at at the end of the meeting, are you comfortable with that, if not what more
- need more time to finish writing.
- Not done.
- Volume 1 is done-ish. Vol 2 needs a lot of work, half transactions not written
Did you know what feedback you needed and did you get the answers you needed
- Lots of good input. Needed more earlier.
