Timeline : Previous Development Cycles
Roadmap
The Radiation Oncology Roadmap will outline goals and plans over the next 5-10 years.
Current Activity
The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise - Radiation Oncology (IHE-RO) is soliciting use cases from the radiation oncology community. A use case is a description of how end users will accomplish a goal by performing a task or a series of tasks using systems (or software) and includes the responses of the systems (or software) to user actions. IHE-RO use cases should focus on interoperability issues. If you are aware of an interoperability issue in radiation oncology, please prepare a one-page summary of the use case one of the following ways:
1.Scroll to the bottom of “Use_Case_Wish_List”, click on one of the "add your own" templates and fill in the content.
2.For the more "wiki savvy", use the template at “Brief_Proposal_Template”, fill it out and insert it in the Use Case Wish List table.
These use cases need to be submitted by Friday, May 28, 2010 for consideration in the 2010-2011 development cycle.
Use Case Selection
Please read the Profile_Proposal_Process to understand the process for specifying, prioritizing and selecting profiles. Edit the following table to include new pages (using the above format) and use the Brief_Proposal_Template to create new Use Cases. The Detailed_Proposal_Template can be used later to provide full details. A high level Radiotherapy Process map provides a context for developing Use cases.
COMPLETED Use Cases and their Integration Profiles
| Year Introduced | Use Case | RFP Text | Year Finished |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | Simple treatment planning use case (NTPL-S) illustrates basic functionality for transferring data between treatment planning systems. See [NTPL-S] Normal Treatment Planning-Simple | NTPL-S RFP | 2007 |
| 2006 | Image Fusion for Segmentation* See [MMR-RO] Multimodality Registration for Radiation Oncology | MMR-RO RFP | 2008 |
