IHE needs SOLE!StandardizedOperationalLog ofEvents Bradley J Erickson, MD PhD Mayo Clinic / RSNA
The Problem • Effective and Efficient Practice Management Requires Good Business Intelligence • Until SWIM, there were no standards for representing the workflow steps in medicine • A consequence is that it is hard to • Combine information from different systems into 1 BI tool for 1 enterprise • Compare information from different enterprises to determine best practices
What is SWIM? • SIIM Workflow Initiative in Medicine • First effort was set of about 140 events in imaging department, about 10 states, and about 10 KPIs defined in terms of events • SWIM was adopted by RadLEX and now have RadLEX IDs • But, a Lexicon is not enough, just as DICOM was not enough to allow image interoperability
Basic Use Case • Systems which perform events send messages to an event logger • Time, EventID (RadLEX), SystemID • Events Consumers query Event Logger • BI tools for dashboards • WFEs for practice management
The Pieces vs Standards • Event Creators: must use accept list of event terms (RadLEX – SWIM for medical imaging events. May expand outside imaging) • Event Log: similar to ATNA Log? • Event Consumers: Query mechanism that may mirror the ATNA log / REST?
