PCD Profiles

Overview

The IHE PCD develops standards-based interoperability profiles that address specific integration problems within the domain charter. It does this by following the IHE technical framework develoment process., which can be simply stated as:

• Describe the integration problem (profile proposal) - detailing one or more real-world use case scenarios (brief 2-page documents lead to more detailed documents)
• Develop Profile Supplements, which contain the specific content that will be published and ultimately included into the PCD Technical Framework (volumes 1 - 3)
• Publish the Supplements for Public Comment and update the Supplements based on the feedback
• Publish the Supplements for Trial Implementation - which is accomplished at annual Connectathon events
• Finalize (freeze) the Supplement once its content has stabilized and been thoroughly validated.
• Eventually integrate the Supplement into the PCD Technical Framework volumes

This page provides a launching point for the various PCD profiles.
