IHE Success Story - Mainz • Johannes Gutenberg-University • Department of Radiology , Mainz, Germany • Peter Mildenberger, MD, Radiologist • Topics • Infrastructure (Hospital / Radiology) • IHE Profiles in use / further developments • Conclusions
University Hospital Mainz • 1500 beds, ~100 wards • 53.000 inpatients/year, 190.000 outpatients • >30 examination rooms • ~ 500 exams / d • ~ 15 clinical conferences / d • RIS since 1988 • PACS since 1996(Rad, Neurorad, NUK, Endo, Dent..) • >80 modalities (e.g. 5 CTs, 5 MRs, 5 CRs, 3 DRs..) • 70 - 100 GB / d new data • ~ 45 TB online (>70 million images)
The IHE Radiology Workflow X N, Wisrz, PhD, Siemens
IHE on the National Level • The idea of IHE is recognised by the „Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft“(DFG), which is responsible for funding medical equipment and IT-Infrastructure in Universities • Strategic Paper in 2005: „..Zur Erleichterung der Kommunikation zwischen verschiedenen IT-Anwendungssystemen einschließlich der Medizintechnik werden die Inhalte der IHE-Initiative unterstützt und müssen bei Beschaffungen zunehmend Bestandteil von Ausschreibungen werden…“ • > Means IHE-Profiles should be respected for interoperability and must be used for proposals
Advantages of IHE – User Perspective • Useful for RFPs • reduces the workload of specifications and possible errors • Choice of systems (CT, MR..) depending on their functionality – not the interfaces • IHE profiles (e.g. SWF) • improve the clinical workflow, • Increase data consistency and quality of documentation,... • IHE Process fits also outside Radiology (e.g. Cardiology, IT..) • IHE PDI is part of a national activity of the DRG (German Roentgen Society) regarding interoperability of DICOM-CDs • Acceptance of IHE on a national level
