1. Proposed Profile: Scheduled Workflow II

  • Domain: Radiology

Summary

The Scheduled Workflow Integration Profile pioneered the use cases for interoperability of Healthcare systems for Radiology Imaging. It is based on HL-7 v3.2.1. The current balloted version is HL-7 V 2.5.1. New systems in development are using the current version and not the version profiled in Scheduled workflow. This impedes new adoption of this profile.

The original scheduled workflow has interoperability gaps since it was originally published. Many of those gaps were published as options. New integration profiles were published, including Patient Administration Management, Post-Processing Workflow and Review Workflow designed to address many of the gaps associated with Scheduled Workflow. This new integration profile needs to review the options and integration profiles

The original scheduled workflow has interoperability gaps with the order placer. The order granularity and feedback from the order filler is not sufficiently designed to profile the expectations of the clinical environment when placing orders.

The original scheduled workflow does not address specific interoperability requirements of the order filler. Many of the options do address the order filler interoperability. However specific clinical data and human intervention to confirm that an imaging tack is claimed as well is completed is missing.
