Patient Care Coordination

IHE Patient Care Coordination (PCC) domain was established in July 2005 to deal with integration issues that cross providers, patient problems or time. It deals with general clinical care aspects such as document exchange, order processing, and coordination with other specialty domains. PCC also addresses workflows that are common to multiple specialty areas and the integration needs of specialty areas that do not have a separate domain within IHE.

The Patient Care Coordination Domain is sponsored by:

HIMSS the Health Information Management Systems Society
ACP the American College of Physicians
