4. 4 Short Introduction My name: Harm-Jan Wessels Active in Healthcare IT since 1990  Applicare Medical Imaging (‘90-’99) Co-founder, Technical Director Co-founder, Technical Director  GE Healthcare – Netherlands (’99-’05) Engineering / General Manager Engineering / General Manager  Forcare – 2006 Co-founder / Managing Director Co-founder / Managing Director Involvement in IHE since ’98 Representing IHE-Netherlands as Vendor-chair since January 1 st, 2006

5. 5 What is Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise? IHE is a global initiative, providing a common framework for passing health information seamlessly:  within the healthcare enterprise  across multiple healthcare enterprises  for local, regional & national health information networks. IHE is sponsored by healthcare professional associations: HIMSS, RSNA, ESC, ACC, BIR etc. IHE is user-led and vendor-driven IHE drives standards adoption to address specific clinical needs.

6. 6 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 The IHE Process

7. 7 Key IHE deliverables Techical Frameworks  Integration Profiles “A standard way to solve a standard problem using standards” Testing and Demonstrations Integration Statements Real-world Implementations

8. 8 Benefits to IHE Participants Care Providers (Clinicians and IT staff)  Improved workflow  Information when and where needed  Decreased cost and complexity of interface installation and management Vendors  Accelerate product development  Expand your market potential by leveraging European/ International developments Standards-Developing Organizations (SDOs)  Rapid feedback to adjust standards to real-world  Establishment of critical mass and widespread adoption

9. 9 Over 150 vendors involved world-wide, 8 Technical Frameworks 55 Integration Profiles, Testing at yearly Connectathons 55 Integration Profiles, Testing at yearly Connectathons Demonstrations at major conferences world-wide IHE 2006 – Eight Active Domains 1 Integration Profile

11. 11 Back to the overview Focus: IHE inside the Enterprise Care Setting Starting with Radiology First IHE domain (1998) Wide variety in available systems, but relatively streamlined and global process

12. 12 Main external Process Radiology order result Acquisition Reporting patient

13. 13 report results Radiology Dept Mgt patient modality Acqui- sition radiologist Repor- ting order scheduling images patient status updat. Main Internal process

14. 14 IHE Actors / Transactions Key terms  Actor: A system performing a particular transaction  Transaction: A single interaction between systems (actors) A system can host multiple actors Product A Product B Product C Product D IHE Transaction IHE Transaction IHE Transaction IHE Actor IHE Actor IHE Actor IHE Actor IHE Actor

16. 16 Radiology Process Captured in Scheduled Workflow (SWF) Integration Profile Backbone of IHE Radiology Integrates Registration, Scheduling, Acquisition Workflow and Image Content Bridges HL7 and DICOM Spaces

17. 17 Benefits of Scheduled Workflow Preserve Order Continuity / Improve Order Tracking  “Close the loop” Improve Demographic Integrity  Eliminate manual entry and correction Improve Workflow Efficiency  Worklists Reliable Storage  Storage Commitment End result: Reduce Integration Effort On site

18. 18 So how does this apply... to other domains then Radiology? The key to understanding IHE is to see the process and the data flow Taking a few steps back...

20. 20 Reviewing IHE Integration Profiles “Process View” and “Data View” apply across the domains The generic process chain shows a great deal of overlap for the domains IHE promotes the re-use of standards and transactions across the domain
