The authors recognize HL7 sponsorship and input from Cross-Group Projects.

The development of this IG was sponsored by the CodeX™ FHIR Accelerator, a member-driven community with a core goal of leveraging FHIR-based standards to achieve interoperability within the healthcare community to improve health for all.

Many organizations have been involved in the modeling and defining of the radiotherapy FHIR profiles that are defined in the CodeX™ RT IG: 

  • AAPM
  • ASTRO
  • MITRE
  • Varian, a Siemens Healthineers Company
  • COMP
  • Telligen
  • Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)
  • Wemedoo

The RTTD team also receives significant input and participation from:

  • University of Michigan
  • Veterans Health Administration
  • McGill University
  • University of Pennsylvania
  • Virginia Commonwealth University
  • IHE-RO
  • Epic
  • RaySearch
  • Elekta
  • University of California San Francisco

The published content of this guide was developed using FHIR Shorthand syntax and the SUSHI tookit, a free, open source toolchain from the MITRE. Generous guidance on FHIR Shorthand and SUSHI was provided by Chris Moesel.

The capability statements were rendered using a script originally developed by Eric Haas that has been extended and maintained by Corey Spears. The generated html is integrated into the FSH source using the transferdiv.rb script.
