Impact Assessment

Basic Elements Coverage:

• 7-10 core elements cover 90%+ of real-world imaging report value
• Focus on clinical content and essential metadata
• Supports primary use cases: clinical care, patient records, basic interoperability

Beyond Basic Impact:

• 35+ additional elements add administrative and technical capabilities
• Support advanced workflows: legal documentation, quality management, research
• Enable comprehensive DICOM integration and institutional processes
• Required for complex multi-institutional scenarios

Implementation Recommendation:

• Basic Profile: Focus on 7-10 core elements for initial implementations
• Enhanced Profile: Add clinical enhancement elements based on use case needs
• Full Profile: Include all elements for comprehensive institutional deployments

This analysis provides evidence-based guidance for prioritizing Xt-EHR element implementation based on real-world usage patterns.
