04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting6

3D/4D Echo Workflow3D/4D Echo Workflow• Address the need to exchange volumetric US data between different vendors

based on DICOM Suppl. 43

• Key use case:

• Exchange 3D US data between Scanner, PACS and Post Processing workstation for image review and 3D measurements

• Existing Standards and Profiles

• DICOM Supplement 43

• IHE Echocardiography Workflow

• Discussion

• Handling of the blending pipeline in order to adequately display the different data types

• Lack of nD presentation state object to represent derived views

• Supplement 43 was only recently approved, nevertheless it would be good to start working on this right away.

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting7

Image Enabled OfficeImage Enabled Office• Address integration of medical imaging equipment into an office environment,

in order to fulfill the meaningful use criteria for image integration in 2015

• Key use case:

• Scheduling, Image acquisition, reporting, access to EMR, document exchange with referring physicians in an ambulatory cardiology office.

• Existing Standards and Profiles• IHE workflow profiles like ECHO, CATH, SWF, STRESS• IHE Evidence Document and Key Image Note profiles• IHE XDS, XDS-I, XDS-MS, PIX, PDQ profiles for cross enterprise sharing of

information• DICOM WADO

• Discussion• Further clarification on scope needed• Address ECG use in this context• White paper or profile• Since it is crucial for meaningful use criteria 2013/2015, it should be tested at

Connectathon in 2011

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting8

Cardiology Report ContentCardiology Report Content

• Based on the ‘Health Policy Statement on Structured Reporting’ and the associated ‘Key Data Element Definition for Cardiac Imaging’ from the ACC a standard template for Cardiac Imaging Reports should be developed

• Key use case:

• Cardiac Referral• Trigger for clinical decision support

• Existing Standards and Profiles• IHE Evidence Document and DICOM SR templates (Cath, Echo, Stress, …)• XDS-MS for medical summaries for referral and consultation report content • HL7 CDA Basic Diagnostic Imaging Report Implementation guide

• Discussion• Close coordination with Radiology and PCC domain necessary• Just Cardiac Imaging Report• Has to be harmonized with the EHR lexicon work of the ACC Informatics

Committee.

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting9

CDA Implementation Guide for CDA Implementation Guide for Cardiology Use of XD*Cardiology Use of XD*

• Based on XD* the transfer of information between EHR systems is defined, however the content is not specified. This profile should leverage CDA to define the content exchanged, including an agreed set of document types

• Key use case:

• Similar to Cardiology Report Content profile

• Existing Standards and Profiles• IHE ITI format codes and XDS coding system• HL7 CDA Release 2 and Basic Diagnostic Imaging Report Implementation

Guide• IHE PCC CDA Release 2.0 Content modules

• Discussion• Overlap between this proposal and Cardiology Report Content.• Scope clarification needed with respect to other domains• Should be discussed with HL7

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting10

Resting ECG WorkflowResting ECG Workflow

• Define a profile similar to Scheduled Workflow to address patient registration, ordering of a resting 12 lead ECG test, performing the test, reporting and storage of the ECG data in a standardized format

• Key use case:

• Similar workflows as described in scheduled workflow, but used for resting ECG

• Existing Standards and Profiles• Based on actors and transactions of scheduled workflow. Intermittently

connected acquisition device needs to be covered.

• Discussion• Focus on resting ECG only• Was considered necessary and critical during Planning committee

discussions

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting11

EP LabEP Lab• EP Lab is a multi-modality environment and uses equipment from

multiple vendors, which up to now are mostly unconnected. Coordinating the different devices within the EP lab and the information exchange between them is the objective of this profile

• Key use case:

• Ablation Procedure

• Existing Standards and Profiles• IHE workflow profiles like CATH• IHE Evidence Document • IHE XDS-MS (medical summaries) • IHE RID (Retrieve Information for Display)

• Discussion• Workflow or Document exchange: It was decided that this would be a

workflow profile• Scope boundary issues – might be necessary to split into two parts: Data

exchange in EP lab and reporting

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting12

Urgent Implantable Rhythm control device Urgent Implantable Rhythm control device identificationidentification

• Address the problem of identifying the implantable device of patient through a single query to multiple various registries for implantable device patients

• Key use case:

• Identification of IRCD in an emergency scenario for immediate reprogramming

• Existing Standards and Profiles• IHE PDQ

• Discussion• Considered very important by the Heart Rhythm society.• Ownership of this profile.

04/18/23 IHE Cardiology TC Meeting13

Implantable Cardiac Device InterrogationImplantable Cardiac Device Interrogation

• Define standardized method to translate and transfer summary device interrogation information (device identification, therapy settings, diagnostics, …) to the information management system

• Key use case:

• In clinic follow up• Device Implantation• Remote follow up

• Existing Standards and Profiles

• Discussion• Currently under development by PCC domain and will be tested at the

connectathon in 2010.• Should be merged with NCDR in order to enable monitoring of implants.
