1 INTEGRATING THE HEALTHCARE ENTERPISE Contribution to the Meaningful Use of Interoperability World-wide International HL7 Interoperability Conference Orlando, May 2011 John Moehrke, IHE IT Infrastructure, GE Healthcare

Base Standards eHealth Projects 2 The Health IT Interoperability Challenge IHTSDO IETF How can we realize the promise of HIT Standards?

Profile Development Base Standards eHealth Projects 3 Interoperability: From a problem to a solution IHTSDO IETF Profiling Organizations Have Emerged Specific Extensions

4 IHE: A Framework for Interoperability A common technical 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

How much is IHE adopted ? ISO Health Informatics:   TR28380 Global Standards Adoption – IHE Process and Profiles Worldwide IHE Adoption by National and Regional Projects   23 Country European epSOS Project   US Nationwide Health Information Network Exchange   Over 60 regional communities operational worldwide   Large scale (5-30 Million) national projects (Austria, France) on-line & ramping up   Products broadly available US: over 40 EHRs More than 10 HIE infrastructure products in clinical use Multiple Open Source Offerings   Home Health   CONTINUA and IHE are work together 5

6 IHE Standards Adoption Process Adopted by International Standards Organization: TR Document Use Case Requirements Identify available standards ( e.g. HL7, DICOM, IETF, OASIS) Develop technical specifications Testing at Connectathons IHE Demonstrations Products with IHE Timely access to information Easy to integrate products 6

18 To learn about IHE, what can you do? Go to: Insist on relevant IHE profiles compliance in your RFPs and contract documents:  Select Integration and Content Profiles, and Appropriate Actor(s)  Ask vendors for their products “IHE Integration Statements”. Need more interoperability ?  Contribute to IHE Committees  Support or create your national IHE (IHE International and IHE- Europe will help)
