      DICOM Supplement 150 (Radiation Dose Summary Information in Radiology Reports)

      This supplement to the DICOM standard introduces a template for including radiation dose summary information and relevant section headings (medical content) in DICOM Structured Reports:

      • basic information about the current imaging procedure.
      • relevant medical history data, information on the current request (i.e. clinical question that is expected to be answered by the requested procedure) and impressions on the current imaging procedure that has been performed.
      • Summaries of the radiation dose for imaging procedures using ionizing radiation.

      This supplement also considers transformation into HL7 CDA documents.

      Individual nations may have legal requirements or local content standards that require specific information be present. In Europe the Euratom Directive specifies the general aspects of documentation of the radiation exposure of a person.The transcription of this directive to national German law requires written report for X-ray and nuclear medicine examinations, but the German X-Ray and Radiation Control Regulation („Röntgenverordnung“, „Strahlenschutzverordnung“) does not specify the content of the report. The German national standard DIN 6827-5, „Recording in medical application of ionizing radiation – Part 5: Radiological report“ specifies the medical content of the report and describes how to optionally document radiation exposure and protection content which can be entered manually or automatically populated from documents such as SR modality dose reports. This template is also intended to satisfy California SB 1237.

      The document has been accepted for DICOM letter ballot at the WG6 meeting in Pisa (April 5 and 6, 2011). Comments that were received during the public comment phase have been addressed and a section on the transformation to CDA R2 has been added to the document.

      HL7 CDA: WG20 will be meeting with the HL7 Structured Documents WG at the May HL7 meeting in Orlando to discuss the development of CDA Imaging Report Templates and imaging topics related to the CDA IG Consolidation Project.

      HL7 Messaging: WG20 will be meeting with the HL7 Anatomic Pathology WG at the May HL7 meeting in Orlando to discuss order entry workflow and specimen identification topics.

12. HL7 activities with GS1
    • Christian Hay
13. HL7 activities with IEEE (11073)
    • Todd Cooper
14. HL7 activities with IHE
    • Keith Boone
15. HL7 activities with IHTSDO

16. HL7 activities with NAACCR
    • Betsy Kohler reports:

      In 2010 NAACCR completed a pilot project testing the HL7 CDA for cancer data transmission. A couple of the issues identified during the project are the CDA file size and the transmission of one file instead of batch submissions. NAACCR decided to continue to explore other transmission formats. The next project will use a NAACCR specific simplified XML that will have the ability to transform to CDA.
      The NAACCR Standards for Cancer Registries, Volume V, Pathology Laboratory Electronic Reporting includes implementation guidelines using HL7 2.x message to transmit pathology laboratory reports from pathology laboratories to central cancer registries. Standards Volume V, Version 4.0 (May 2011) expanded Chapter 3 Synoptic Reporting to include guidance on the transmission format of synoptic cancer pathology reports. (http://www.naaccr.org/StandardsandRegistryOperations/VolumeV.aspx).

17. HL7 Activities with NCPDP
    • Margaret Weiker reports on NCPDP – HL7 activity:
      • NCPDP WG2 – Product Identification has a task group, Structure Product Labeling Activities Task, which tracks the activities of the SPL, offers suggestions to improve access and usability of the FDA Structured Product Label and Electronic Drug Listings, and monitors the work of the Guiding Coalition for feedback to the WG. They have completed a letter on Kits that will be sent to the FDA and are working on letters in regards to Marketing Categories, Inner/Outer NDCs and Identifiers, REMS, SPL Vendors and Freeness. They continue to collaborate with the HL7 SPL Leadership Team/SPL Working Group regarding issues with “Last Marketing Date/Marketing End Date”, “June/December Updates of the SPL” and the “SPL Validation Process”. They are also investigating the process whereby the Billing Unit Standard can be added to the SPL Indexing Files.
      • NCPDP WG11 – ePrescribing and Related Transaction has a task group, NCPDP/HL7 ePrescribing Functional Profile, which is monitoring the finalization of NCPDP and HL7 processes on the pharmacist/pharmacy interface functional profile and the standalone profile.
      • NCPDP WG14 - Long Term and Post Acute Care (LTPAC) has 2 task groups that interface with HL7
        • EHR/HL7 Task Group - The task group has begun creating business use cases for additional information that needs to be added to electronic prescriptions by the facility.
        • Automation in LTPAC Task Group –This task group reported they are continuing working on the review of HL7 messages currently used in LTPAC setting automated dispensing systems. They have completed the review of the dispensing log and new/change/discontinue order messages.
