Secure Peer Review and Feedback on Medical Findings via IHE XDS. 2021
BACKGROUND There is a lack of secure official communication channels for peer review and peer feedback on medical findings. OBJECTIVE We aimed to utilize the existing Austrian eHealth infrastructure to enable review and feedback processes. METHODS We extended the IHE XDW workflow document to enable the exchange of text messages (i.e., comments on documents or images) over an XDS infrastructure. RESULTS The workflow enables the exchange of comments on specific sections of CDA documents or radiological images and was verified in an XDS test environment. CONCLUSIONS The presented solution is a proof of concept and the potential basis for the specification of a new IHE workflow definition.
