IHE Classroom Sessions – RSNA 2003 Introduction Integrating the Healthcare (IHE) is an initiative to stimulate the integration of Healthcare Information and Imaging Systems – Provides Interoperability and Workfolws Optimization. IHE was initiated in the USA (1998) by the RSNA & HIMSS societies. The foundation of IHE is the Technical Framework that contains the Global framework and the national specializations framework (DICOM & HL7) IHE has an international vision encouraging the IHE nationals initiatives to address the National specific Healthcare policies and practices

IHE Classroom Sessions – RSNA 2003 Scope of the International IHE Initiatives International – Global Technical Framework – Define Integration Solutions and Optimize Workflow Profiles – Define the Actors and Transactions to implement the Integration Profiles

IHE Classroom Sessions – RSNA 2003 Scope of National IHE Initiatives North America – Europe – Asia National Healthcare Specializations – Define specific information for the National Healthcare System: Policies, Practices and Information in Native Languages based on DICOM (Latin1, ISO-2022) and HL7 national Patient management, using additional segments: ZFU, ZBE,… Developing Testing and Simulation Tools: MESA – Peer-to-Peer Testing based on Global & National Framework Connectathon – Multi Vendor Testing: – Testing Integration Solution based on the Global & National Framework Demonstrations, Education and Success Stories in each country
