Scheduled Workflow:The First Profile Kevin O’Donnell Toshiba Medical Systems
Scheduled WorkflowScope • Genesis 1: In the beginning, … • [ or better yet ] • Genesis 11: Tower of Babel • “and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. “
Scheduled WorkflowScope • Backbone of IHE Radiology • Integrates Registration, Scheduling, Acquisition Workflow and Image Content • Bridges HL7 and DICOM Spaces
Scheduled Workflow: Use Case report Registration Film Lightbox Image Manager & Archive Orders Filled Film Folder Diagnostic Workstation Film Report Repository Orders Placed AcquisitionModality acquisitioncompleted acquisitionin-progress imagesprinted Modality acquisitioncompleted
Scheduled WorkflowValue Proposition • Preserve Order Continuity • “Close the Loop” • maintain accession number, avoid confusion with Filler #, Placer #, etc. • Improve Demographic Integrity • Data entry errors • significant occurrence • significant consequences • Enter once, pass from system to system
Scheduled WorkflowValue Proposition • Improve Workflow Efficiency • Use of Worklists • less time spent doing data entry/selection • enables semi-automation of setup • Reliable Storage • Storage Commitment • fewer lost studies • more confidence in results
Scheduled WorkflowValue Proposition • Improve Order Tracking • MPPS from Modality to RIS & PACS • more timely feedback • more precise feedback • Reduce Integration Effort at Site • Get Vendors on the Same Page • Provide Implementation Guidance • Pre-test at Connectathon
IHE Workflow Concepts IHE has selected three UNAMBIGUOUS HL7/DICOM TERMS : PROCEDURE STEP : The smallest unit of work in the workflow:Scheduled Procedure Step: ‘A unit of work to do’Performed Procedure Step: ‘A unit of work done’ ORDER : A request for radiologic service REQUESTED PROCEDURE : A Unit of work resulting in one Report (with associated codified, billable acts)
CLINICIANOR REFERING DOC:The Imaging Dept Customer RADIOLOGIST : In Charge of producing theReport TECHNOLOGIST(and RADIOLOGIST)In charge of acquiring images, etc. Workflow Concept Mapping This 3 level workflow structureis useroriented: ORDER:A request for imaging service (Accession Number) REQUESTED PROCEDURE : Units of work resulting in one Reportwith associated codified, billable acts(Requested Procedure ID) PROCEDURE STEP :The smallest unit of workin the workflow (modality worklist entry)

Scheduled Workflow“HL7 Actors & Transactions” HL7 Actors: • ADT/Patient Registration • Order Placer • DSS / Order Filler • Image Manager
Scheduled WorkflowStandards Used HL7 V2.3.1 Patient Registration • Admit: A01 (In Patient), A04 (Out Patient), A05 (Pre-Admission) • Cancel: A11 (Cancel Admit), A38 (Cancel Preadmit) Patient Update • Transfer: A02 (Patient Transfer) • Update Patient Class: A03 (Discharge), A06(Outpatient becomes Inpatient), A07 (Inpatient becomes Outpatient) • Update Patient Information: A08 (Update) • Merge Patients: A40 (Merge) • Cancel: A12 (Cancel Transfer), A13 (Cancel Discharge)
Scheduled WorkflowStandards Used HL7 V2.3.1 Order Management • New Order: ORM/NW & ORM/SN (New Order) • Order Status: ORM/SC (Status Change) • Cancel: ORM/CA, ORM/DC & ORM/OC (Cancel Order) Procedure Details • Scheduled: ORM (Procedure Scheduled) • Updated: ORM (Procedure Updated)
Scheduled Workflow“DICOM Actors & Transactions” DICOM Actors: • DSS / Order Filler • PPS Manager • Image Manager /Archive • Acquisition Modality • Evidence Creator • Image Display
Acquisition Workflow Management DICOM: • Modality Worklist Management (MWL) • Modality Performed Procedure Step (MPPS)
Image Management DICOM: • Image Storage • Storage Commitment • Query/Retrieve
Patient Information Reconciliation Expect the Unexpected
Patient Information ReconciliationAbstract / Scope • Extension of Scheduled Workflow • Coordinated update of demographic information in workflow and content objects
Patient Information ReconciliationValue Proposition • Handle “exception” cases • Trauma/Emergent Cases • Patient Unknown or no time for Registration • Entry Errors by Operator • Other Demographic Changes • (e.g. married name) • Multiple sources/destinations for updates • High risk of unsynchonized/inconsistent data • Workflow must continue • Need to pull together past & current patient records
Use Cases • Local policy calls for ADT to pre-register ER patients (“John Doe”, “Jane Doe”): • Case 1: Unidentified Patient registered at ADT and order is placed at Order Placer. • Case 2: Unidentified Patient registered at ADT and order is placed at DSS/Order Filler. • Case 3: Unidentified Patient registered at ADT but acquisition completed at Modality prior to order.
Use Cases • Local policy allows departments to register ER patients with Departmental IDs: • Case 4: Unidentified Patient assigned temporary Departmental ID and scheduled at DSS/Order Filler. • Case 5: Image Acquisition completed prior to assigning temporary Departmental ID or Order (Patient ID entered at the Modality).
