HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop IHE Workflow Concepts Procedure Steps : The smallest unit of work in the workflow: SCHEDULED PROCEDURE STEP: ‘A unit of work to do’ PERFORMED PROCEDURE STEP: ‘A unit of work done’ IHE identifies four fundamental workflow information units : : A Unit of Reporting Work with associated codified, billable acts REQUESTED PROCEDURE : A Unit of Reporting Work with associated codified, billable acts A request for radiologic service ORDER : A request for radiologic service

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop IHE Workflow is User Driven Information Unit has its Prime User ORDER: A request for imaging service (Accession Number) REQUESTED PROCEDURE : Units of work resulting in one Report with associated codified, billable acts (Requested Procedure ID) PROCEDURE STEP : The smallest unit of work in the workflow (modality worklist entry) CLINICIAN OR REFERING DOC: The Imaging Dept Customer RADIOLOGIST : In Charge of producing the Report the Report TECHNOLOGIST (and RADIOLOGIST) In charge of acquiring images, etc.

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Is Grouping of Procedures a common need ? CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis Neuroradiology: CT Neck & CT Chest MR Imaging of different sections of the spine MRI and MRA of vessels acquired together MRI of the head and neck with specialized coils Direct radiography (DR) in a trauma patient: AP images, then move the patient once to acquire a set of orthogonal images, and then regroup by body part Sonographic evaluation of the kidneys and of the abdomen CT of the pelvis with CT angiographic runoff Angiographic studies of multiple vessels mixed with therapeutic interventions on selected segments.

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Why Grouping of Procedures ? Maintain the link back to each one of the grouped procedures without breaking the acquisition apart. Ensure that each image subset related to a requested procedure is identified and ready to be presented. This is key for quick display of new and prior studies. In the film world, images are manually sorted. In the film-less world, images should be sorted automatically when displayed Optimize patient comfortOptimize patient comfort Optimize time of image acquisition.Optimize time of image acquisition. But, there is also the need to:

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Grouping of Procedures in IHE Group Case support is required by the IHE Scheduled Workflow Integration Profile on Image Managers (PACS) and Order Fillers (RIS). Its support is optional on Modalities.
