Agenda
  • IHE Goals, Organization and Deliverables
  • IHE Integration Profiles and Influence on
    Clinical Workflow

3
Goals of IHE
  • Speed up the rate and quality of integration in
    healthcare environments
  • Foster communication among vendors and care
    providers
  • Prove that integration is attainable based on
    standards
  • Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
    clinical practice
  • Improve interoperability among care domains and
    build foundation for the EHR
  • Integration solutions within the healthcare
    enterprise and across healthcare enterprises

4
Understanding the IHE Initiative
  • IHE has a clear focus
  • IHE is a healthcare domain-based initiative
  • IHE creates synergies for interoperability
    testing across domains
  • IHE addresses the standards adoption process
  • IHE is both regional and multi-national
  • IHE is both user lead and vendor driven

5
IHE Domain-based for a stepwise approach
6
IHE 2004 Four Active Domains
4 Technical Frameworks with 31 Integration
Profiles Testing at yearly Connectathons in three
continents Demonstrations at major conferences
world-wide
Provider-Vendor cooperation to accelerate
standards adoption
7
A Proven Standards Adoption Process
IHETechnicalFramework
User Site
  • IHE Integration Profiles at the heart of IHE
  • Detailed selection of standards and options each
    solving a specific integration problem
  • A growing set of effective provider/vendor agreed
    solutions
  • Vendors can implement with ROI
  • Providers can deploy with stability

8
IHE Process
  • Users identify desired functionality that require
    coordination and communication among multiple
    systems
  • E.g., departmental workflow, single sign-on,
    sharing of documents
  • Find and document standards-based transactions
    among systems to achieve desired functionality
  • Apply necessary constraints to eliminate useless
    wiggle room
  • Provide process and tools to encourage vendors to
    implement
  • MESA software test tools Connect-a-thon
    interoperability testing event
  • Provide tools and education to help users acquire
    and integrate systems using these solutions
  • Connect-a-thon results and public demonstrations
  • Integration statements

9
IHE Contributors Participants
  • Societies Representing Healthcare Segments
  • RSNA, HIMSS, ACC, CAR, CHI, ACCE, Many Other
    Professional Societies
  • Any Healthcare Stakeholder Organization
  • Users
  • Clinicians, Medical Staff, Administrators, CIOs,
  • Information Systems Equipment (e.g. imaging)
    Vendors
  • Consultants
  • In addition, active liaison with Standards
    Development Organizations (SDOs)
  • HL7, DICOM, NCCLS, ASTM, ISO, others

10
IHE Organizational Structure
11
Organization of the IHE Initiative
  • IHE distributes its operations between a
    regional/national level and an international
    level
  • IHE is not a standards development organization
  • IHE operates on overlapping yearly cycle
  • IHE leverages dependencies and complementary
    interests between stakeholders
  • IHE is an open and flexible organization

A novel approach to meet these challenges
12
IHE Process
  • Users and vendors work together to identify and
    design solutions for integration problems
  • Intensive process with annual cycles
  • Identify key healthcare workflows and integration
    problems
  • Research select standards to specify a solution
  • Write, review and publish IHE Technical Framework
  • Perform cross-testing at Connectathon
  • Demonstrations at tradeshows (HIMSS/RSNA)

15
What IHE is NOT!
  • A standards development organization
  • Uses established standards (HL7, DICOM, others)
    to address specific clinical needs
  • Activity complementary to SDOs, formal
    relationship with HL7, ISO, DICOM, NCCLS, etc.
  • Simply a demonstration project
  • Demos, only one means to the endadoption
  • Backed up by documentation, tools, testing, and
    publication of information

16
Benefits to IHE Participants
  • Clinicians
  • Improved workflow
  • Information when and where needed
  • Fewer opportunities for errors
  • Fewer tedious tasks/repeated work
  • Administrators
  • Improved efficiency
  • Best of breed opportunities
  • Decreased cost and complexity of interface
    deployment and management

17
Benefits to IHE Participants
  • 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

Plus, IHE meets fixed deadlines
18
IHE Technical Frameworks
19
Key IHE Concepts
  • Generalized Systems -gt Actors
  • Interactions between Actors -gt Transactions
  • Problem/Solution Scenarios -gt Integration
    Profiles
  • For each Integration Profile
  • the context is described (which real-world
    problem)
  • the actors are defined (what systems are
    involved)
  • the transactions are defined (what must they do)

20
Key concept Integration Profile
Solves an Integration Problem A collection of
real world information exchange capabilities
supported by a set of specific Actors using
Standards-based Transactions
  • Examples 
  • Enterprise User Authentication
  • Retrieve Information for Display
  • Laboratory Scheduled Workflow
  • Echo Laboratory Workflow
  • Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing

21
IHE Connectathon
  • Open invitation to vendor community
  • Advanced testing tools (MESA)

IHE approach to standards
  • IHE, starts from user defined needs and
    priorities in a domain
  • Then selects the standards that
  • Best address the problem
  • Have the broadest practical acceptance
    (world-wide)
  • Are Technically stable
  • Offer potential reuse/integration with other
    existing or future integration profiles.

Problem effectiveness drives standards
selection ? On-going dialogue with HL7, ISO
TC215, DICOM, OASIS, IETF, etc.
