Profiles
IHE Profiles provide a standards-based framework for sharing information within care settings and across networks by addressing critical interoperability issues related to the following important key areas:
Information Access for Care Providers and Patients Clinical Workflow Privacy & Security Administration IT Infrastructure Each IHE Profile describes a clinical requirement and solution for systems integration. It defines functional components, called IHE Actors, by specifying in careful detail the transactions each IHE Actor must perform, based on standards such as HL7FHIR, DICOM, HL7, and many others. This detail allows health IT professionals to implement IHE Profiles in health IT systems.
IHE Profiles are documented in IHE’s Technical Frameworks, detailed technical specifications that serve as implementation guides for effective systems integration.
Referencing IHE Profiles gives implementers and users a common language for solutions backed by detailed specifications to ensure interoperability.
