Minutes

• Wouter (UZ Gent) and Sander (VMBV) present themselves. We thank them for joining us today.
• The context and participants of this WG are very briefly presented.
• Setting the medical imaging scene by Erwin. Should this WG start working on a list of questions ?
• There are currently 3 projects linked to medical imaging:

• referral platform, by RIZIV
• Clinical Decision Support
• FHIR profiling

• These projects should be handled separately
• Status of referral platform: tender is in preparation, planned for publication in April/May
• Status of CDS: tender was previously published, applications are under review
• The FHIR modelling is happening in this working group. We do liaise with RIZIV, Arnaud is often present here.
• Robin gives an overview of the logical model for diagnostic referral. This raises some questions/remarks

• what is the difference between procedure and previousRelevantExaminations: both could have the same information. Guidance on this in the profile seems necessary
• it should be useful and less time consuming it he phone number from the prescriber can be in the referral
• there definitively seems to be a need for links to previous examinations

• Arnaud says this is not the goal of a referral
• example: when an anomaly from a previous examination has to be followed-up

• Wouter has prepared some important keypoints in this workflow. His presentation can be found here
