Background:
There is a lack of secure official communication channels for peer review and peer feedback on medical findings.
Objectives:
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.
Conclusion:
The presented solution is a proof of concept and the potential basis for the specification of a new IHE workflow definition.
