The Post-Processing Workflow integration profile is a part of the IHE Radiology Technical Framework, and is a continuation of the Sheduled Workflow integration profile.

The Post-Processing Workflow profile addresses the need to schedule, distribute and track the status of the typical post-processing workflow steps, such as Computer Aided Detection or Image Processing. Worklists for each of these tasks are generated and can be queried, work items can be selected, and the resulting status returned from the system performing the work to the system managing the work.

Typically the work items will involve the creation of objects such as images and evidence documents. The created images and evidence documents contain the necessary references for maintaining continuity of order information.
