IHE Mission

IHE improves patient care by harmonizing electronic health information exchange

Enables approved standards to seamlessly pass health information among care providers on a local, regional and national level

IHE Frameworks are freely available to all

Ok, now translate – what does that really mean?


5www.ihe.net

Big concept = package approved standards into usable “tool kit or package”

Package standards in usable packages (called profiles)

Standards are a great thing to have, but how to best assemble and use them? Example: Child car seats

Standard = All children younger than certain age had to be in a car seat

Location: Not prescribed Front seat - OK New standard packaged the concept Child in car seat + strapped in + facing backwards +

better sizing
