2. IHE Cardiology Page 2 Image Enabled Office Problem Statement An increasing number of clinicians have both imaging equipment and electronic medical records in their offices. The prevalence of imaging equipment is increasing as lower cost systems are being brought to market, and the universal deployment of EMRs is an explicit goal of the U.S. government. Note: The draft U.S. “meaningful use criteria” for 2015 would require EMRs to handle medical imaging objects, although the extent and nature of such support is undetermined. This equipment needs to be integrated into the office environment workflow, and the imaging results need to be seamlessly integrated into the EMR. Note that the systems in an office environment must in may ways be more technically sophisticated than in an in-patient environment, as they must operate with less IT-savvy human supervision, and combine features that would otherwise be distributed across multiple systems.

3. Profile Scope The Image-Enabled Office (IEO) Profile specifies the integration of an imaging suite (modalities, storage server, and workstations) with an electronic health record system in an ambulatory office setting. This is a fully bi-directional integration, including ordering/ scheduling of an imaging exam, status reporting for that exam, report creation, and web-based imaging exam review integration. It also addresses import of referral image exams from exchange media into the integrated office environment. Out of Scope: Exchange with other entities (supported by PDI, XDS and XDS-I functionality), except for image import from media IHE Cardiology Page 3

4. Use Case 1 Andy Carditis, a patient, is referred to Belle Plummer, a cardiologist, for consultation regarding a fever and associated heart murmur (potential infective endocarditis). Dr. Plummer orders blood labs and an echo study, which the patient elects to have performed in Dr. Plummer’s cardiology office. The patient and the cardiology office manager schedule the echo for later that day. At the scheduled time, Sue Skann, the sonographer in the office, preps Mr. Carditis. She uses the ultrasound machine to query for the scheduled exams, and selects Mr. Carditis from the list. She performs the echo study, and makes preliminary measurements on the ultrasound machine. The images and measurements are sent to a local mini-PACS image server. On an imaging workstation, Dr. Plummer reviews the images and measurements, and notes the vegetation on the mitral valve. She selects a representative image, and saves a reference to it in a note that is stored on the mini-PACS. She defers creating a report until the lab results will have been returned. The next morning, the lab results are returned electronically and recorded in the office EMR. On the EMR workstation, Dr. Plummer reviews both the lab results and the echo measurements, and creates a report with findings, selected measurements, and the representative image selected the previous day. She orders a two week regimen of intravenous antibiotics, which will be administered by her nurse practitioner. The report is stored in the EMR, and is also sent to the referring primary care physician. IHE Cardiology Page 4
