Patient Care Coordination 360 XL
The 360XL Profile addresses the needs for data exchange and workflow management when patient care requires a transfer from one care setting (most commonly an acute care setting) to a skilled nursing facility. The profile is a workflow and content profile.
The workflow part of the profile enables multiple destinations to receive a referral request, allows each destination to accept or decline the request, and facilitates the selection of the actual destination of the transfer among those which accepted the request.
The content part of the 360XL Profile describes the way clinical information is shared as part of the request in order for the possible destinations to evaluate the patient’s needs before they make the decision to accept or decline. The specific needs to document the patient’s condition at the time of transfer are also described in the content part.

Patient Care Coordination Paramedicine Care Summary (PCS) When a patient is transported for a medical emergency to a hospital, scene information, transfer information, patient assessments, and interventions are only verbally available to hospitals when the patient arrives. This results in inefficiencies and potential errors in the patient care process. This profile will map the flow of the patient information from the ambulance patient record, commonly known as the electronic Patient Care Record (ePCR), to the hospital Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
PC 2021-01-12 2021-xx-xx
Patient Care Coordination Routine Interfacility Patient Transport (RIPT) Transport organizations must record information about patients being transferred under their care so that the organizations can minimize errors in their patient care record and the patient can have accurate and an appropriate level of care for their condition. This information is either gathered verbally through nursing staff or by perusing extensive paperwork to find the information needed for the transport patient care record. Once the transport is completed, the same information is also communicated as part of the transport summary. While this is often done in electronic information systems today, a lack of standards means that duplicate entry is commonplace, leading to a higher chance for data entry errors by transport staff. In fact, there is approximately a 67% error associated with manual entry of patient information transferred into an electronic system, not to mention various other errors when there are misspellings. Creating a patient summary for the transport team is a low-cost approach that builds on existing functionality as it reuses much of the information that is typically documented in hospital systems today. This will make it easy to find an efficient way to transfer information that is already in the EMR system and only needs to be efficiently transferred to another system. Once the current transfer of information issue is solved, the transport team’s time spent gathering information in the hospital can be greatly reduced and the team can spend more time providing care to the patient, rather than spending prolonged periods of time searching for, and manually re-entering, the needed information for patient transport and informed patient care. Improved throughput for Emergency Department (ED) and inpatient bed availability become a hospital benefit, by creating a faster turnover rate for hospital discharge. This profile specifies the CDA and FHIR transactions that will be used to carry out this transaction.

Radiation Oncology Deformable Registration in Radiation Oncology (DRRO)
The DRRO Profile defines the content necessary for exchanging DICOM Deformable Spatial Registration (DSR) objects between radiation oncology systems. In addition to defining the data required to accomplish deformable image registration, it provides requirements on data elements so that DSR objects can be  appropriately handled by radiation oncology systems that test to this profile.

Radiation Oncology Treatment Delivery Workflow-II (TDW-II)
The Treatment Delivery Workflow-II Integration Profile describes the necessary workflow between a Treatment Management System (TMS) and Treatment Delivery Device (TDD) for treatment delivery. This profile grew out of the Radiation Oncology Technical Committee’s work on the Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow (IPDW) Integration Profile, which was found to specify too many required elements for some Treatment Delivery Devices. A number of commercially available delivery machines either do not handle positioning interactions at all or they are not externalized in significant or easily modifiable ways. This profile describes the workflow between the TMS and TDD and when the TDD is largely only concerned with delivery scheduling.

Radiology Contrast Administration Management (CAM) The CAM Profile records contrast agent administration details for imaging and image-guided procedures. CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and Projection X-ray (including angiography, fluoroscopy) commonly use contrast agents. Captured contrast details can be useful for investigating adverse events, driving regular QA processes, serving as evidence for medicolegal activities, or supporting charging and management of drugs and consumables.

Radiation Oncology Exchange of Radiotherapy Summaries (XRTS) The purpose of the Exchange of Radiotherapy Summaries (XRTS) Profile is to provide a standard approach for exchange of information related to radiation treatment at a high level, such as would be suitable for software systems that are not specific to radiation therapy. This kind of exchange enables greater unity between a patient’s Radiation Oncology Information System (ROIS) chart and the corresponding chart in a broader Health Information System (HIS). This assists providers who work primarily in the HIS to remain aware of information about their patients’ radiation treatments, and providers who work primarily in the ROIS to receive relevant patient details before planning radiation treatment.
Moreover, administrative functions run from the HIS, like data analytics, chart coding, and release of information, can also include radiation information without requiring users to log in to multiple systems and manually synthesize data from multiple sources.

Eye Care Key Measurements in DICOM® Encapsulated PDF Eye care devices commonly generate PDF reports (i.e., OCT optic disc, OCT RNFL, Visual
Field, etc.) that clinicians store in a patient’s medical record, for example within an EMR and/or PACS. The DICOM® Encapsulated Document IOD provides the specification for eye care implementers to transmit these displayable PDF reports. When generating the PDF reports, eye care devices also have the ability to output a broad range of numeric measurements (i.e., key measurements). Certain of these measurements are critical for the long-term care of patients, clinical quality management and other use cases. The original release of DICOM Encapsulated Document IOD did not provide the ability to include discreet data therefore this important information was not available for import into receiving systems. DICOM has enhanced the Encapsulated Document IOD with an optional feature to provide discreet structured data by leveraging the DICOM structured reporting encoding format. The IHE Key Measurements in Encapsulated PDF Option utilizes this new DICOM feature to encode structured data. It is required for a well-defined list of eye care reports. The initial scope of this option targets eye care clinical workflow automatons to reduce and/or eliminate manual entry burden for long-term care of patients and for existing clinical quality measures programs. IHE Eye Care expects this list to expand based upon additional use cases. Each supplement undergoes a process of public comment and trial implementation before being incorporated into the volumes of the Technical Frameworks.

Cardiology Extensions to Cardiac Procedure Note Cardiologists across all subspecialties face an increasing need to exchange reports and discrete clinical procedure data across different care settings and stakeholders with the goals of enabling cardiac procedure notes to be more easily shared and used between care givers and systems, enabling population-based outcomes-based research on procedure effectiveness, and harmonizing data collection for procedural reports with data registries for data exchange. This supplement provides an Implementation Guide consisting of a library of templates to be used for various cardiac subspecialty procedure notes and clinical data exchange. It is based on the HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Consolidated CDA Templates for Clinical Notes (US Realm) Draft Standard for Trial Use Release 2.1 (C-CDA R2.1). It consolidates work that has been done in the Cath Report Content (CRC) Profile and the Electrophysiology Report Content Implant/Explant (EPRC IE) supplement, harmonizes templates and value sets defined in those supplements, and updates those templates to the C-CDA R2.1 specification. 2018-05-18 2018-08-17

IT Infrastructure Asynchronous AS4 Option for XCA, XCPD, XCDR This supplement introduces a new Asynchronous Web Services (WS) Exchange stack based on the OASIS Applicability Statement 4 (AS4). The current Asynchronous WS Exchange stack is an IHE specialization of the asynchronous capabilities of the WS stack that has not been widely implemented. It is based on WS-Addressing and MTOM/XOP and is left unchanged by this Supplement. It has been renamed WS-Addressing Asynchronous WS Exchange to distinguish from the AS4 Asynchronous WS Exchange.

Providing a more robust Asynchronous WS Exchange Option is attractive for upcoming cross-border ehealth information exchange, such as the European eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure that deploys the XCA, XCPD, and XCDR Profiles and for countries where the adoption of the OASIS AS4 reliable and secure messaging is common when cross-sector (beyond the health sector) applicability is needed.

This new AS4 Asynchronous Web Services Exchange stack: 1) Relies on the OASIS AS4 WS Stack that has been natively designed to support Asynchronous WS Exchange and offers: a) Message packaging governed by ebMS 3.0 and message security governed by WS-Security
Support for both push and pull message exchange choreographies b) Payload compression c) Non-Repudiation of Origin and Receipt (NRO/NRR) d)Reception Awareness – simple and effective reliable messaging with no known interoperability issues 2) Is introduced as a) An option to the XCA, XCPD profiles where the current WS-Addressing based Asynchronous WS Exchange is available b) A new option to the XDR and XCDR Profiles.
The end result will be that XCA, XCPD, XCDR and XDR Synchronous Web-Services will stay the same as they are today. This new AS4 Asynchronous WS option is proposed to be introduced alongside the existing WS-Addressing based Synchronous Web-services, that may be retired in the future if this new AS4 Asynchronous WS is widely adopted in environments where asynchronous exchanges are important.

IT Infrastructure Restricted Metadata Update (RMU) Where documents are maintained in a XDS Affinity Domain or a federation (XCA) of communities, there are times when authoritative and authorized changes need to be made to the metadata. These documents may be published within a local Health Information Exchange using Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing, or the documents might be distributed among many communities accessible using Cross-Community Access. For example, a Patient may have received treatment while on vacation or might simply live/work on a boundary between communities. To receive treatment, the patient allows their records to be shared among these communities. When treatment is completed, the patient instructs authorities to change the confidentiality code of their documents to restrict access to their personal medical records.
In order to focus the effort, the Technical Committee agreed to limit the changes to stored DocumentEntry metadata elements that are descriptive in nature and do not affect how the metadata is stored within a Document Registry. The experience with the more comprehensive supplement, Metadata Update, shows that managing lifecycle and interrelationships between Registry entries is much more complex. The difficult changes includes Transforms, Appendments, Signatures, etc. The current effort has put these out-of-scope, but IHE will continue to work on them in the future.
The approach separates out these more ‘lightweight’ metadata elements from the more ‘heavyweight’ metadata elements (structural) and provides additional flexibility for storing the metadata updates. The RMU profile does not require full implementation of the Metadata Update supplement. These limits will be enforced by separate actor being asked to persist the change to the document’s metadata. If that actor can persist the change, the transaction succeeds. This actor is enabled to reject any request that does not meet the requirements within their community. A rich set of error codes is provided for various potential rejection reasons.

Depending on use case, a Document Summary Section can be added to a CDA document if the document template is open. A Document Summary Section can be constructed by: 1.) Dynamically populating the section with data found in existing section(s) in the document. The data is used to create a composite, single summary section that summarizes pertinent information. The data that goes in the Summary Section can be user defined or can be based on specified use cases in this profile and 2.) Use of a pre-defined section template such as the Notes Section or the Care Team Section, etc.

Patient Care Coordination Paramedicine Care Summary (PCS) Currently, interventions and assessments are written into an ambulance ePCR, and are either manually updated by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) crew, or collected from electronic devices (e.g., hemodynamic monitor). The ePCR is updated with treatments and interventions that are administered during the transport. The hospital will not typically have access to paper or electronic versions of this patient information until the report is finished and signed in the ePCR and it is requested by the hospital. In this profile, the prehospital and paramedicine interventions and patient assessments are made available to the hospital/emergency room IT system electronically when the patient arrives, or in advance of patient arrival to the hospital. This informs medical decision making during the hospital treatment and provides the opportunity to save patient lives.
This profile provides a mechanism for paramedicine systems to send relevant patient data captured during transport (e.g., patient medical history, medications, allergies, updated vitals, interventions) to the hospital EMR systems ahead of the patient’s arrival to the hospital. This allows for the hospital staff to understand the patient condition prior to arrival providing much greater opportunity for life saving decisions.

IT Infrastructure Non-patient File Sharing This supplement defines how to enable the sharing of not-patient related documents. Those documents can be created and consumed by many different systems involved in a wide variety of data sharing workflows (clinical workflow definition, domain policies sharing, stylesheets management, etc.). This supplement identifies three actors: File Server Actor, File Consumer Actor, File Source Actor. In order to fulfill use-cases requirements, this profile defines three new transactions: Submit File, Search File, Retrieve File. The goal of this supplement is to identify protocol requirements for the sharing of files, primary focusing on three types of files: 1) Workflow Definitions: structured or unstructured documents that define the processing rules for a specific clinical/administrative workflow; 2) Privacy Domain Policies: structured or unstructured documents that describe a specific privacy policy that can be subscribed by the patient; 3) Stylesheets: structured documents that can be used by user-agents (e.g. Web Browsers) to render the content of an XML document. In addition, this profile defines a mechanism that enables the sharing of other types of files. TI 2017-05-17 2017-08-04
IT Infrastructure Mobile Document Data Element Extraction Patient-centric Data-element Location Service The Mobile Document Data Element Extraction (mXDE) Profile introduces health data location discovery and fine grained access to health data to coexist and complement coarse grained (document as a coherent set of fined grained data elements) access. TI 2017-05-26 2017-08-04
IT Infrastructure Mobile Care Services Discovery The mCSD Profile supports queries across the following related care services resources: 1) Organization, 2) Location, 4) Practitioner, 4) Healthcare Service. Because it maintains interlinked directory information, the mCSD Profile is able to respond to queries such as: 1)Which locations are associated with which organizations? 2)What services are provided at specific locations or, conversely, where are the locations that provide a specified service? 3) Who are the practitioners associated with a particular organization; what services do they provide; at which locations do they provide these services, and when? The mCSD Profile’s loosely coupled design and flexible querying capability means it can be deployed within a number of eHealth architectures and support a wide array of care workflows.

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PaLM) Laboratory-Clinical Communications The communication and resolution of needs for order replacement, result confirmation and result interpretation are integral parts of quality laboratory service that are currently managed on an ad hoc basis outside of information systems. Communications can be delayed or lost and summary data about ordering and resulting problems is difficult to compile. Thus recognition and correction of the immediate or systemic problems indicated by these communications is time consuming and error prone. This new profile will enable rapid, standardized, automated capture of and response to problems related to orders and questions about results, and will allow this information to be logged, tracked, and included in QA studies and process improvement projects. PC 2017-11-29 TBD
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PaLM) Laboratory Specimen Handoff Passing of specimens between Laboratory Automation Systems (LAS) and Specimen Processing Devices (SPD) is an integral part of clinical laboratory operation. But current LAS and SPD vendors have little guidance on how to implement specimen handoff. HL7 and CLSI AUTO3-A provide some direction, but do not provide specific guidance for individual handoff workflows.
In the absence of any industry guidance, specimen handoffs are defined on an ad hoc basis. This approach tends to ensure that each vendor will take a unique path, even though specimen handoff interfaces share a high degree of commonality among most vendors.
There clearly exists a need for fully specified interface protocols to reduce the time and costs associated with managing specimen handoff in clinical laboratories. The Laboratory Specimen Handoff (LSH) profile will provide standardized workflows for the most common laboratory specimen handoff use cases.

Radiology Cross-Enterprise Remote Read Workflow Definition This supplement addresses Cross Domain or Cross Enterprise Remote
Reading Workflow. This workflow is the practice of having medical images
interpreted (read) by a reading specialist who is not present at the
site where the diagnostic imaging study was acquired and is not
reporting using the local PACS and dictation system at the acquiring
site. Specifically, the Radiologist or reading specialist is requested
to read an exam from another organization with a separate Hospital
Information System, Radiology Information System and PACS. The profile
workflow includes the Request’s Creation, Dispatch, Perform
(Interpretation) and Completion (report delivery) of diagnostic imaging
study.

Radiology Follow-Up of Non-Critical Actionable Findings The Follow-Up of Non-Critical Actionable Findings Profile supports the communication and monitoring of follow-up of non-critical actionable findings identified on radiology imaging examinations. The profile describes transmission of the necessary follow-up parameters including: patient information, discrete information on the finding, recommended downstream test(s), and recommended time interval to a designated “home” facility that can take responsibility for resolution of the follow-up recommendation. The profile describes requirements for closing the follow-up loop, either by completing the recommended testing or returning a message describing why follow-up is not clinically indicated. It provides for repeated, escalating reminders if the initial recommendation is not acknowledged within a specified time period and considers issues of how to communicate such information both to known local providers as well as those outside the local affinity domain. TBD TBD
Radiology Management of Acquisition Protocols The Management of Acquisition Protocols Profile supports the collection of scan protocols from acquisition modalities, their review on a protocol manager and re-distribution to modalities. Protocol managers are permitted to edit attributes marked safe by the creating modality. Such attributes will likely include protocol names, dose notification thresholds and series names for generated images.
The transactions are based on storage, query and retrieval of DICOM® instances containing scan procedure protocols and protocol approvals. Although the profile is agnostic to the type of modality, as of 2016 DICOM has only published the specification for a CT Protocol Storage object. Other modalities are being investigated but the specifications have not yet been published.

Radiology Clinical Decision Support – Order Appropriateness New U.S. legislation mandates the use of clinical decision support (CDS) when ordering imaging exams. As of January 1, 2017, CMS will withhold payment unless the referring provider documents use of CDS in the claim for the exam. We must have standards for the creation of the required CDS data on the order and the movement of the data through to billing to correctly implement this new rule.
HL7 has a messaging format for orders exchange between order placer and order filler. This is currently profiled in IHE Scheduled Workflow. CDS vendors currently use HL7 segments for their current data.
A CDS Profile could present a standard way to capture the required data and send it through the rendering provider and on to the billing system.
There is high market interest in standardizing, as today over 370 million ambulatory imaging studies are ordered annually in the U.S., plus another share of the over 400 million hospital imaging studies that are considered outpatient. The data-flow and record-keeping necessary to comply would be difficult to do correctly and cost-effectively without automation and integration. Referring and rendering providers, as well as the respective vendors, have shown interest in working on this.
IHE Scheduled Workflow already carries many elements of an imaging order through the radiology workflow. It could be expanded to include new CDS data specific to the mandate. There are additional elements that would be helpful to add as well, such as receiving facility. Other data included in standards could be improved, such as exam priority. The Profiles on PIX and PDQ are very helpful in this as well.

Radiology Web-based Image Capture (WIC) The Web-based Image Capture (WIC) Profile provides a simple, lightweight, mobile-friendly mechanism to encode and send captured images, videos and evidence documents from the mobile device to the Image Manager so that these objects can be easily integrated into the rest of the imaging workflow. TI 2015-02-19 2015-04-21
Radiology Radiology Remote Reading Workflow Cross-Enterprise or Community Diagnostic Image Sharing Services are increasingly part of the infrastructure landscape in the clinical community. Leading the way are IHE profiles and standards, such as XDS-I proving the infrastructure framework for image and document exchange. Cross-enterprise image sharing, beyond the initial step, has the capability to attain efficiencies and reduce cost at a macro-scale level: (a) Improve throughput of radiology departments by allowing any qualified radiologist in the community to read and report a study, (b) Align the number of resources (staff, equipment) with the needs of the community as opposed to considering individual hospitals only, (c) Facilitate assignment of studies to physicians that are best qualified to read them (e.g., a SPECT expert may be leveraged across the community), (d) Provide off-hours coverage by sharing radiologists’ services off peak hours.
