Welcome to theInteroperability Showcase brought to you by IHE Sponsors and Committee Members
What is “Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise”? • A 9-year public-private initiative • Driven by end-users, IHE improves patient care by harmonizing electronic health information exchange • Enables approved standards to seamlessly pass health information among care providers on a local, regional and national level • IHE Frameworks are freely available to all • The IHE Global Standards Adoption process as approved by the International Standards Organization (ISO) as a Technical Report 28380 in August 2007
How does IHE work? • Clinicians and IT professionals identify key clinical and business workflow problems • Clinicians, IT professionals, consultants, and vendors jointly solve those problems by standardizing the way existing standards are implemented in HIT products • IT professionals follow the IHE guidelines in purchasing and integrating effective systems
Who’s involved in IHE? • Users - Clinicians, Staff, Administrators, CIOs, Gov’t agencies (e.g. NIST, VA, DoD, CDC, CMS) • Professional Societies representing 270,000 individual members: • HIMSS, RSNA, ACC, ACP, AAO, ACCE, ASTRO, etc • Standards Development Orgs (SDOs): • HL7, DICOM, ISO, CDISC, ASTM, W3C, IEEE, IETF, etc • Vendors & consultants (e.g., imaging, EHRs, cardiology, medical devices)
Who benefits from IHE’s work? • Patients • Enhance care’s quality, safety, efficiency & effectiveness • Clinicians • Improve workflow & information reporting • Fewer error opportunities; Less repeated work • Vendors & Consultants • Satisfy customers’ interoperability demands • Decreased cost & complexity of installation & mgt • SDOs • Rapid feedback to address real-world issues • Establishment of critical mass and widespread adoption • Government • Reduced costs of implementing EHR systems • Increased patient information interoperability

Proven Standards Adoption Process Testing at Connectathons IHE Demonstrations Develop technical specifications Products with IHE Identify available standards (e.g. HL7, DICOM, IETF, OASIS) Document Use Case Requirements Easy to integrate products Timely access to information
How to Use IHE As a Vendor Implementer • Participate and Implement IHE Integration Profiles • Test systems through Connectathon process • Publish an IHE Integration Statement for products As a User Implementer or Consultant • Use IHE Integration Profiles to develop interoperability strategy • Use Connectathon Results and Integration Statements to evaluate vendors • Require IHE Integration Profile compliance in RFPs
