IHE Workflow Concepts IHE identifies four fundemental workflow information units : Procedure Steps :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 Reporting Work with associated codified, billable acts
IHE Workflow is User Driven CLINICIANOR REFERING DOC:The Imaging Dept Customer RADIOLOGIST : In Charge of producing theReport TECHNOLOGIST(and RADIOLOGIST)In charge of acquiring images, etc. Information Unit has its Prime User 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)

Is Grouping of Procedures a common need ? • CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis • Neuroradiology: CT Neck & CT Chest • MR Imaging of different sections of the spine • MRI and MRA of vessels acquired together • MRI of the head and neck with specialized coils • Direct radiography (DR)in a trauma patient: AP images, then move the patient once to acquire a set of orthogonal images, and then regroup by body part • Sonographic evaluation of the kidneys and of the abdomen • CT of the pelvis with CT angiographic runoff • Angiographic studies of multiple vessels mixed with therapeutic interventions on selected segments. IHE Interoperability Workshop
Why is the Grouping of Procedures a significant need ? • Optimize patient comfort • Optimize time of image acquisition. • Maintain the link back to each one of the grouped procedures without breaking the acquisition apart. • Ensure that each image subset related to a requested procedure is identified and ready to be presented. This is key for quick display of new and prior studies. • In the film world, images are manually sorted. In the film-less world, images should be sorted automatically when displayed But, there is the need to: IHE Interoperability Workshop
Grouping of Procedures in IHE Group Case support is required by the IHE Scheduled Workflow Integration Profile on Image Managers (PACS) and Order Fillers (RIS). Its support is optional on Modalities. IHE Interoperability Workshop

Presentation of Grouped Procedures Improves workflow, overall efficiency of care and reduces costs of providing services: • Lowers barriers to migration to digital radiology practice • Optimizes use of newer & faster acquisition devices • Improves clarity and access to Radiology results • Simplifies and facilitates billing of grouped procedures • Enhances softcopy interpretation throughput IHE Interoperability Workshop
