[Intl_DxMedPhys] Your "Use of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) radiology profiles"?

[Joshua M Wilson]

I'm curious to know how, if at all, clinical imaging physicists use or interact with IHE Radiology Profiles at your institutions.

As a program director for a CAMPEP-accredited imaging residency, I try to faithfully meet all the CAMPEP standards, one of which lists under Informatics, "Use of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) radiology profiles". At my institution/enterprise, I would describe myself as heavily involved in the informatics landscape for more than a decade, but with the rare exception of one individual, I've literally never heard of IHE Radiology Profiles mentioned. However, I go to AAPM meetings and IHE-RO is so high profile as to get a badge ribbon.

When I dutifully check the IHE Radiology wiki and discuss it/IT (pun-intended) with residents, I see that some profiles are actively being worked on, so it isn't defunct. My conjecture about why it is a residency standard for imaging physicists is:

  1.
When the standard was written a decade-or-more ago, it really was something that physicists were involved with, but healthcare/radiology informatics has grown so much that it requires its own specialization now owned elsewhere (e.g., SIIM and CIIP).
  2.
The radiation therapy program's CAMPEP Informatics IHE-RO standard was written, and then it was copy-pasted to imaging and just assumed that IHE Radiology Profiles was as big a thing for imaging physicists.

Or, are all you imaging physicists out there actively involved in IHE Radiology Profiles at your institutions and I'm missing out?

Best,
Josh
