Active as of 2023-03-08 Computable Name: IHE_RAD_IRA

The Integrated Reporting Applications (IRA) profile helps applications that are used together during reporting (e.g. image display, report creator, clinical applications, AI tools, etc) to share information using a standard called FHIRcast. Each application can share what it is doing and the data it is creating, referred to as Context and Content, respectively. Other applications are notified so they can then intelligently synchronize their behavior or use the new data.

IRA uses FHIR R5 for the resources used in FHIRcast events. Specifically this includes the FHIR ImagingSelection resource. FHIR R5 is currently under development.

IRA also uses FHIRcast 3.0.0 which is currently under development.

Links to FHIRcast will be updated to the final version when the official version is published.

Conformance Expectations

IHE uses the normative words: Shall, Should, and May according to standards conventions.

Must Support

The use of mustSupport in StructureDefinition profiles equivalent to the IHE use of R2 as defined in Appendix Z.

mustSupport of true - only has a meaning on items that are minimal cardinality of zero (0), and applies only to the source actor populating the data. The source actor shall populate the elements marked with MustSupport, if the concept is supported by the actor, a value exists, and security and consent rules permit. The consuming actors should handle these elements being populated or being absent/empty. Note that sometimes mustSupport will appear on elements with a minimal cardinality greater than zero (0), this is due to inheritance from a less constrained profile.
