We have officially started the effort of defining an informatics st= andard for orthodontics, and have deadlines! We decided to divulge the = ;news through a scientific posterboard at the biggest orthodontic conv= ention in the world. Software vendors, doctors or anyone interested sh= ould know about this project.
Our posterboard got accept before we started to collaborate with the&nbs= p;American Dental Association = (ADA) Standards Committee for Dental Informatics (SCDI). What this means is= that the course of the prject changed quite a bit from when we wrote the i= nitial abstract for the poster until when it was up on display. The title o= f the project, for instance, probably would have never been PANIO<= /em> had I been introduced to the ADA SCDI earlier. But we figured&nbs= p;PANIO actually sounded pleasing to the ear in all languages= , and that we should therefore take advantage of this opportunity and keep = the name.
The scientific poster occupies the full 8=E2= =80=99x4=E2=80=B2 provided tackboard. It provides the viewer with a broad p= erspective of what a software standard is and why it is needed in the field= of orthodontics. At it=E2=80=99s center there is a description of the ADA = SCDI and DICOM structures. This = part was influenced by the newly established collaboration with them.
In addition, PANIO: The First= Orthodontic Standard (handout) was provided for the more interest= ed. All four sides of the handout were printed on a single Letter size book= let, and provided the reader with a little extra information such as refere= nces, more names on collaborators and more detail on the individual working= groups.
Abstract
Plan: 1) extend DICOM to accommodate all orthodontics data needs. 2)
Include the instructions of the extended DICOM standard in an ADA
Techincal Report; 3) prove the functionality of the standard by writing
a program that directly implements it. The final products (all standard
definitions and the implemented software) are meant to be pucliblicly
available free of charge to facilitate their distribution. We hope our
presentation will stimulate interest among individuals and institutions
to joins us in this project.
