IHE Domains are responsible for the development and maintenance of the IHE Technical Frameworks that document the Integration Profiles. Each Domain manages Integration Profiles in a particular part of healthcare. For convenient reference, each Domain has a short acronym.


New Domains are added as more fields of healthcare adopt the IHE process.


Each domain carries out its work in two Committees.

The Planning Committee for a domain:

  • Recruits vendors of relevant information systems and users with clinical and operational experience
  • Develops long-term goals and roadmap
  • Identifies integration and information sharing problems and priorities
  • Gathers and reviews proposals for new problems/profiles.
  • Selects proposals for technical/effort evaluation by the Technical Committee
  • Approves proposals for Profile development by the Technical Committee
  • Develops educational materials for the domain and profiles

The Technical Committee for a domain:

  • Recruits vendors of relevant information systems and users with clinical and operational experience
  • Assesses the feasibility and estimated effort of selected profile proposals
  • Builds concensus on the appropriate standards-based solutions to approved proposals
  • Develops Integration Profiles to document the solutions in detail
  • Maintains the Technical Framework for the domain


Each domain is sponsored by a professional society...

Coordination among domains is the responsibility of the Domain Co-chairs Committee, comprising representatives from each of the domain planning and technical committees.
