Elevating Imaging-Related FHIR Resources to First Class Status
画像診断の相互運用性向上：FHIRとUSCDI v7による進展
Summary
SIIM discusses the implications of adding 'Diagnostic Imaging Reference' to USCDI Version 7. This enables standardized information access for diagnostic images, highlighting efforts to solve challenges in existing standards like DICOM and HL7.
Details
This webinar aims to elevate imaging-related FHIR resources to first class status. With the release of USCDI Version 7, 'Diagnostic Imaging Reference' has been added, providing information used to access a diagnostic imaging study. While established standards such as DICOM and HL7 have the technical capability to support this new data element, challenges can arise due to varying organizational implementations. The session covers testing results from the SMART Imaging Access Argonaut Project, along with current work like upcoming DICOM security supplements and HL7 updates to the US Core Implementation Guide. Attendees will learn how to locate supporting information within standards and what requirements to specify when engaging vendors or preparing RFPs, aiming for overall industry workflow improvement.
