Rad Reporting Tables

[Kevin O'Donnell]

Hi,

 

Attached is a draft of the profile and format tables for Clinical

Reports from the Radiology point of view.

 

It was generated during the Rad. Tech Cmte meeting earlier

this month. 

 

In particular, we tried to add Data Flow Tables (See pgs 7 & 8)

which map the flow of data (in this case clinical report related data)

in and out of the various systems in an example hospital.  Some

of the inputs and outputs are profiled in IHE profiles, but it is not

a pre-requisite for being shown in the Data Flow tables.  It was

a useful exercise to see how it could all come together and where

the gaps, dangling wires and duct tape were.

 

Futurama Hospital represents how things might look years down

the road.  The table for Springfield General tries to show a "typical"

community hospital today, and then we were going to add a table

showing Springfield General one year into a transition plan, 2 years

in, etc.   

 

I handed off editing at that point so there should be one later version

of this document which includes the Year 1 and Year 2 Springfield

tables.   It's clear that two areas needing attention (and vendor

participation) are transcription and transitioning paper distribution.

 

It would be interesting to see a Cardiology, Lab, or ITI take on this.

 

Til Later,

  Kevin
