IHE Technical Frameworks

• Anatomic Pathology
• Cardiology
• Eye Care
• IT Infrastructure
• Laboratory
• Patient Care Coordination
• Patient Care Device
• Pharmacy
• Quality, Research and Public Health
• Radiation Oncology
• Radiology

The IHE Technical Frameworks, available for download below, are a resource for users, developers and implementers of healthcare imaging and information systems. They define specific implementations of established standards to achieve effective systems integration, facilitate appropriate sharing of medical information and support optimal patient care. They are expanded annually, after a period of public review, and maintained regularly by the IHE Technical Committees through the identification and correction of errata.

Submit and Review Comments

Each draft Technical Framework document and supplement is published initially for a period of public comment. Documents currently in release for public comment are available here.

Comments from implementers and other interested parties are invited on an ongoing basis. Please submit comments through the links provided below.

• Public Health Data Standards Consortium White Paper

We invite public health professionals to join our collaborative efforts at IHE between the public health and HIT vendor communities to guide the development of the IHE Integration Profiles for interoperability among and between Electronic Health Record and Public Health Systems. These profiles will facilitate the necessary linkages, standardization and integration of health data between clinical care and public health to create robust overarching health information exchanges.
