IHE North America Connectathon 2010
The healthcare IT industry’s only large-scale interoperability testing event took place in Chicago, January 11-15. The annual IHE North America Connectathon tests HIT systems to foster compliance with standards, electronic health record system connectivity and interoperable exchange of patient health. Many of the capabilities tested at the Connectathon are closely aligned with the criteria for achieving “meaningful use” of electronic health records recently published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. More than 3,500 tests of IHE Integration Profiles were successfully completed by more 150 HIT systems at this year's event.
Connectathon Conference
This year’s Connectathon included a one-day conference featuring experts in the deployment of health IT and electronic health records. More than 120 attendees took part in the conference, which included guided tours of the Connectathon testing area.
Webinar Series
IHE North America is presenting a series of Webinars in the Summer of 2009 designed for implementers of IHE profiles. These presentations address profiles in IHE clinical domains.
