Summary
The IHE Result Distribution Profile (RD) defines the communication of imaging results like radiology reports between Report Creators, Managers, and Consumers.
Benefits
The RD Profile provides key data in a structured format to trigger downstream activities like
- Follow up of non-critical actionable findings
- Additional billing
- Consults
- Submission to registries/analysis
- Submission for inquiries to clinical trials
- Business analysis
RD is a gap solution to bridge result communication until structured formats like CDA and SDC are more widely supported. It is designed to maximize communication between a wide variety of existing systems
Details
The Report Distribution profile facicitlates communication of imaging results (i.e., radiology reports) between physicians, medical staff, and various facilities. It provides a consistent mechanism, and definition of metadata, to simplify the distribution of imaging results. When a radiologist creates an interpretation, or a “result”, of an imaging study, the imaging result is often sent to an EMR for review by the physician who ordered the study. These imaging results are used to determine the on-going care, or “clinical care pathway”, for the patient. Additionally, radiologists often use prior (comparison study) imaging results in the interpretation of a new imaging procedure. Imaging results may also be used for data mining for public health studies or clinical trial evaluations.
Use cases addressed by this profile include:
- Send an imaging result to an EMR
- Send an imaging result to a Follow-Up Source (i.e., Non-Critical Actionable Findings)
The profile is using an HL7 2.5.1 Observation Results (ORU) message to maximize compatibility with existing installed systems.
