About IHE
IHE is an initiative by healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. IHE promotes the coordinated use of established standards such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical needs in support of optimal patient care. Systems developed in accordance with IHE communicate with one another better, are easier to implement, and enable care providers to use information more effectively.,
What is the IHE initiative?
Optimal patient care requires that you and your patients be able to create, manage and access comprehensive electronic health records (EHRs) efficiently and securely. Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) improves the way healthcare systems communicate with one another and accelerates the adoption of EHRs.
IHE brings together users and developers of healthcare information technology (HIT) in an annually recurring four-step process:
Clinical and technical experts define critical use cases for information sharing. Technical experts create detailed specifications, called IHE Profiles, which optimize established standards for communication among systems in these use cases. Vendors implement IHE Profiles into their healthcare IT systems. Vendors' systems are tested at a carefully planned and supervised event called IHE Connectathon.
Who is involved?
IHE committees work to address interoperability in a variety of clinical domains:
These committees work in annual cycles to expand the capabilities addressed by IHE Profiles.
More than 650 member organizations—professional societies, government agencies, provider organizations, HIT companies and others—have joined the IHE initiative worldwide.
