Radiology Year 7: Strategy Planning • Decide what activity areas the Planning & Technical Cmtes should focus on in Year7 • Questions: • Which part of the process needs attentions? • Which area of activity needs the most focus/bandwidth right now? • What can we do to improve each area? • Which Committee would be involved in each activity?
Develop New Profiles Motivation: There are still Profiles worth addressing Activities: Continue Addressing Radiology Issues such as Dept. WF, Federated PACS, Teaching Files, Clinical Trials, (Anonymization), New CT/MR Content, Dose Recording, CT/PET Fusion, etc. Follow the usual proposals/tech review/selection process Tech Cmte work might be reduced to advice/review/finalization if text is written by “side-committees” Consider a large profile takes 40-60% of TC Bandwidth, a small profile 20-40%
Consolidate Domains Motivation: The Domains aren’t very well integrated We need to promote convergence and interaction amongst the Domain groups Activities: Concerted Review of IT, Card, Lab Profiles to spot divergences Maintain/cleanup Technical Framework(s) Document some general models (e.g. Dept. WF, content flow) Apply/Configure Profiles from other Domains to Radiology (Audit Trails, EHR, RID, PIX, Config. Mgt., etc) Document Cross-Domain Profile Use Cases/Synergies Work on Multi-Domain Connectathon/Demo Synergies Organize Multi-Domain Documentation (i.e. Tech Framework) Improve Cross-Domain communications Further document IHE processes, guidelines, criteria, etc. Address overlap areas, HL7 Versioning, etc.
Promote Vendor Implementation Motivation: Customers are finding few vendors; few products; few profiles and perceive IHE as risky/not ready yet Vendors need more motivation on the marketing side and more support on the engineering side Activities: Use Plan & Tech Face-to-Face Meetings to Kick-start Vendors (Q: Do we need more vendors or more profiles?) Get Vendor Product Decision Makers to Attend Have Luminaries Speak to the Value “Generate more user demand”, “help them understand value” Collect/Collate some Market Data (product implementations, field deployment); promote “accurate” integration statements Discuss and Resolve Issues with Product People Consider Next-Gen Connectathon Tools
Promote User Understanding Motivation: It’s Still Too Hard for Users to Understand It’s Still Not on the Radar of Most Users Activities: Refine Profile Structure so it’s easier to Understand Continue work on Departmental Workflow Improve Materials for Educating Customers Broader outreach to users who haven’t heard of IHE, e.g. more direct contact materials such as bulk mailing Work on IHE Web Site Development Find ways to make and publish many more success stories Clearly present the end user benefits/business case; leverage success stories
Support User Deployment Motivation: Users Understand IHE and Want IHE but have problems asking for it and fitting it into their current architecture They need purchasing tools, deployment models, case studies Activities: Work on Purchasing Tools/Site Evaluation Tools Help them put things in RFPs with Conviction Practical Deployment case studies Committees should investigate the practical obstacles Site Deployment Guidance/Suggestions Review Case Studies (what is IHE helping, what is IHE missing) Whitepapers on how to handle Legacy systems in an IHE site Engage consultants
