RSNA is inviting vendors and research institutions to participate in its imaging informatics demonstration at this year's annual meeting in December.
The RSNA Image Share/Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) demonstration will be based on five key developments in radiology informatics:
- Structured reporting using RSNA RadReport reporting templates, RadLex terminology, and the Management of Radiology Report Templates (MRRT) profile
- Communication of actionable findings to referring physicians
- Clinical decision support for radiology
- Efficient management of imaging protocols
- Patient-focused image sharing through the RSNA Image Share network, a pilot project funded by the U.S. National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
The demonstration will simulate advanced clinical capabilities such as the following:
- Creating template-driven structured radiology reports based on report templates in the RadReport template library and procedure codes selected from the RadLex Playbook
- Identifying critical findings for follow-up between radiologists and referring physicians
- Clinical decision support for radiology ordering based on the IHE Clinical Decision Support for Radiology (CDS-R) profile
- Centralized management of imaging protocols using emerging DICOM standards
- Exchanging images and reports between care sites in a health information exchange environment based on the IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS.b) profile
- Access to images and reports through an electronic health record (EHR) system
- Sharing imaging records with patients using personal health records (PHRs)
Interested participants must complete this form by July 28. RSNA staff will then contact applicants to discuss the scope and technical details of the demonstration. A kickoff call will be held on August 3 to discuss the process of preparing for and performing the demonstration, RSNA said.
