What is “Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise”?
• A 9-year public-private initiative • Driven by end-users, 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• The IHE Global Standards Adoption process as
approved by the International Standards Organization (ISO) as a Technical Report 28380 in August 2007
How does IHE work?
• Clinicians and IT professionals identify key Clinicians and IT professionals identify key clinical and business workflow problemsclinical and business workflow problems
• Clinicians, IT professionals, consultants, and Clinicians, IT professionals, consultants, and vendors jointly solve those problems by vendors jointly solve those problems by standardizing the way existing standards are standardizing the way existing standards are implemented in HIT productsimplemented in HIT products
• IT professionals follow the IHE guidelines in IT professionals follow the IHE guidelines in purchasing and integrating effective systemspurchasing and integrating effective systems

Who benefits from IHE’s work?
• Patients– Enhance care’s quality, safety, efficiency & effectiveness
• Clinicians– Improve workflow & information reporting– Fewer error opportunities; Less repeated work
• Vendors & Consultants– Satisfy customers’ interoperability demands– Decreased cost & complexity of installation & mgt
• SDOs– Rapid feedback to address real-world issues– Establishment of critical mass and widespread adoption
• Government– Reduced costs of implementing EHR systems– Increased patient information interoperability
