Profiles

IHE Integration Profiles describe the solution to a specific integration problem, and document the system roles, standards and design details for implementers to develop systems that cooperate to address that problem.

IHE Profiles are a convenient way for implementers and users to be sure they're talking about the same solution without having to restate the many technical details that ensure actual interoperability.

For convenient reference, each Profile has a short acronym.

Each domain specifies a collection of Profiles for problems directly related to their domain.

Profiles available for implementation (i.e. released as Final Text or for Trial Implementation) are listed below.

Alternatively, see the alphabetized index of Profiles.
