IHE International PCIM Committee Meeting

January 29, 2026 11:00 AM Central Time

Attendees

Eldon Metz, Tom Kowalczyk, Al Engelbert, Paul Schluter, Jacob Braschler, Kurt Elliason, Brendan Burke

Agenda

• Scheduled downtime impact on PCIM actors (reporters vs manager vs consumer)
• Unscheduled downtime (e.g. network downtime)
• Multiprotocol Refactoring
• Requirements

Notes

• Schedule downtime (e.g. fall daylight savings time requirements as one example for some systems)
  • Manual device patient associations occur during this time
  • Is there a need for a clear all / reset patient device associations option? Not needed at this time.
  • What if a heartbeat or active indicator is present between reporter and manager? If reporter goes down, what happens to reporter specific associations? Might generate a ton of work for the provider. Defer consideration of this.
  • Keep sending association events but mark them as wrong if disassociate time is before associate time (PRT-11 and PRT-12).
