General Implementation Guidance is provided on this page for people trying to implement software/systems that support IHE Profiles.
Profile implementation guidance is also available for some specific Profiles.
Deployment Project Summaries outline several real-world IHE implementation/deployment projects.
Implementation Guidance
Change Proposals reflect modifications to a released Technical Framework or Supplement. It is important for implementors to monitor CPs and keep their implementations up to date.

IHE-RO Test Tools
Developer: ICT Embedded BV, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
URL: http://www.dvtk.org/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=IHE+Downloads&cmenu=downloads
Contact:
Licensing: Public Domain
Development Platform: DICOM Validation Tool Kit (DVTK)
Delivery Method: DVTK Definition files/Reference Data/Test Cases
Description: The IHE-RO Test Tools are based on the DVTK platform (www.DVTK.org) and developed under contract to ASTRO by ICT Embedded, BV, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The first release of these tools, supporting the IHE-RO Basic Integration Profile, was released in January, 2008. Additional tools to support 2008 IHE-RO profiles are currently in development.
Profiles and Constructs: IHE-RO Basic Integration Profile
Test Tools by Profile and Actor
The list of tools above gives you the location of the software and a general description of the scope of the tools. For testing a specific IHE profile, you may find it helpful to use these links.
IHE Tools by Profile lists each Integration Profile and provides links to the software and documentation.
IHE Tools by Actor lists each IHE Actor with links to the software and documentation.
In some cases you will find that two different software implementations are used to test a single actor.
Connectathon Milestones
Need to add a table, updated annually, of the Connectathon events in Europe, North America, Japan, etc.

Mailing Lists exist for all IHE Domains, most IHE Regions and most implementation projects (such as IHE Connectathons and IHE Demonstrations).
The NIST IHE Wiki is particularly useful to those implementing IHE Profiles from the IHE IT Infrastucture Domain.
OHF-dev is a mailing list with useful discussions for IHE developers.
