  1. The IHE InitiativeMission, Process, Achievements, Plans Raymond Peter Zambuto, MS, CCE, FASHE, FHIMSS, FACCE President, Technology in Medicine, Inc. Co-Chair, IHE PCD Domain

  2. Presentation Objectives • IHE: What? Why? Who? How organized? • Healthcare provider role in developing IHE framework • Why standards are not enough • IHE process for standards adoption and implementation • Benefits, growth, strategies, integration • How to leverage IHE to enable interoperability in • Enterprises • Health information exchanges (HIEs)

  3. IHE: A Framework for Interoperability • A common framework for harmonizing and implementing multiple standards • Application-to-application • System-to-system • Setting-to-setting • Enables seamless health information movement within and between enterprises, regions, nations • Promotes unbiased selection and coordinated use of established healthcare and IT standards to address specific clinical needs

  6. IHE Sponsors • 1997: Founded in Radiology (RSNA) and IT (HIMSS) • Many professional societies (stakeholder representation) • American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) • American College of Cardiology (ACC) • American College of Physicians (ACP) • American College of Clinical Engineering (ACCE) • American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) • American Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) • GMSIH (IT France), JAHIS (IT Japan), SFIL (laboratory) • Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) • Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) • And many more….

  7. IHE Participants and Relationships • Participants include: • Users - Clinicians, Staff, Administrators, CIOs, Governments (e.g. NIST, VA). • Vendors - Information Systems and Equipment • e.g., imaging, cardiology, devices • Consultants • Maintains formal liaison with Standards Development Organizations (SDOs): • HL7, DICOM, ISO (Liaison D), others • ISO TC215 (including ANSI) approved IHE Process and Profiles to be published as technical reports • Concerns expressed by some AHIC members not founded

  9. International Adoption of IHE Norway Germany Holland Canada Taiwan France Japan Korea China Spain USA Italy UK Year 7 (2005) Year 8 (2006) Year 1 (1999) Year 2 (2000) Year 3 (2001) Year 4 (2002) Year 5 (2003) Year 6 (2004) • Local Deployment • National Extensions (Local Adaptions) • Promotional & Live Demonstration Events • Funding Pragmatic global standards harmonization + best practices sharing

  10. Standards: Necessary…Not Sufficient • Standards are • Foundational - to interoperability and communications • Broad - varying interpretations and implementations • Narrow - may not consider relationships between standards domains • Plentiful - often redundant or disjointed • Focused - standards implementation guides focus only on a single standard IHE provides a standard process for implementing multiple standards

  11. IHE: Connecting Standards to Care • Healthcare professionals work with industry • Coordinate implementation of standards to meet clinical and administrative needs • Clinicians and HIT professionals identify the key interoperability problems they face • Providers and industry work together to develop and make available standards-based solutions • Implementers follow common guidelines in purchasing and integrating effective systems IHE: A forum for agreeing on how to implement standards and processes for making it happen

  12. Standards Adoption Process Testing at Connectathons IHE Demonstrations Develop technical specifications Products with IHE Identify available standards (e.g. HL7, DICOM, IETF, OASIS) Timely access to information Document Use Case Requirements Easy to integrate products

  13. Stakeholder Benefits • Healthcare providers and support staff • Improved workflows • Information whenever and wherever needed • Fewer opportunities for errors • Fewer tedious tasks/repeated work • Improved report turnaround time • Vendors • Align product interoperability with industry consensus • Decreased cost and complexity of interface installation and management • Focus competition on functionality/service space not information transport space • SDOs • Rapid feedback to adjust standards to real-world • Establishment of critical mass and widespread adoption

  14. Growth in IHE Domains Veterinary Endoscopy Pathology Pharmacy • IHE Global Developments • Integration Profiles (# X) – Solutions to Real-World Interoperability Needs & Problems: • Within Clinical Departments e.g.: • Radiology • Cardiology • Lab • ... • Across Departmental &Institutional Boundaries – XDS • RHIOs (Regional Healthcare Information Organizations) • EHR Enablers Quality Patient Care Devices (1) Patient Care Coordination (5) Radiation Oncology (1) Eye Care (3) Laboratory (6) Cardiology (7) IT Infrastructure for Healthcare (17) Radiology (18) Year 5 (2003) Year 6 (2004) Year 8 (2006) Year 9 (2007) Year 4 (2002) Year 7 (2005) Year 1 (1999) Year 2 (2000) Year 3 (2001)

  15. IHE Implementation Strategy • Leverage established standards to allow rapid deployment and plan for futurePragmatic, Ease of Evolution • Enable architectural freedom (patient vs. provider centric, centralized vs. decentralized, scalable (from office to enterprise to IDN to RHIO) Configurationflexibility • Support breakthrough use cases: variety of care settings, care coordination, public health, PHR, EHRInteroperability for broad constituencies IHE: Offers consistent, standards-based record sharing for EHRs and other information systems
