SIIM U - Section 12: Enterprise Integration Strategies toward the
Multimedia EHR
Sunday, May 18, 2008
8:00 am - 9:30 am
Ballroom 6C
Section Head: Paul J. Chang, MD
University of Chicago,
Pritzker School of Medicine
Section Description:
Medical images play an important role in patient management. These images must
be seamlessly integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) to realize
maximal utility. This course will introduce participants to strategies and
approaches to successfully integrate electronic medical images from radiology,
cardiology, and other sources into the EHR. The requirement to properly
understand and accommodate domain specific workflow models cannot be
underestimated.
Domain specific workflow models from radiology, cardiology, and visible light image producers will be introduced. While extremely useful,
edge protocols such as DICOM and HL7, as well as integration initiatives based
on these protocols (IHE, can be augmented by incorporating newer integration
approaches such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), web services, and XDS-I
(Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging). Examples of these newer
integration approaches will be discussed.
112: Image Management beyond Radiology
Gary J. Wendt, MD, MBA
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain the advantages and limitations of image management outside of
radiology being structured and administered FROM radiology.
2. Describe image management challenges specific to cardiology.
3. Describe the current status of solutions for pathology image data, and
functionality of in-development commercialization of these applications.
212: Image Workflow beyond Radiology
Paul J. Chang, MD
University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine
Learning Objectives:
1. State at least three differences in imaging workflow processes in clinical
settings outside of radiology.
2. Choose a specific imaging process, and compare and contrast strategic
determinants for workflow optimization in radiology, vs another clinical
environment.
3. Explain how non-electronic "triggers" for tasks and workflow processes
constrain true optimization or re-engineering of workflow outside of radiology.
312: Advanced Integration Strategies beyond DICOM and IHE
Paul J. Chang, MD
University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine
Learning Objectives:
1. Review current integration strategies of DICOM and IHE.
2. Define Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
3. Define Cross-enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging XDS-I.
4. Describe integration strategies beyond DICOM and IHE.
