NOTICE
THE IHE CARDIOLOGY DOMAIN IS OFFICIALLY DORMANT.
The American College of Cardiology, formerly the sponsor of the domain, has decided to discontinue its funding and staff support for 2008. Under the terms of IHE Governance, without vendor-independent sponsorship the IHE Cardiology domain is now in a dormant state effective April 1 2008.
At the IHE Cardiology Planning Committee meeting of March 30th in Chicago it was confired that the ACC:
- were formally withdrawing from sole domain sponsorship support
- had not secured alternative funding from the wider CV professional societies
Q1 - What does this mean for IHE in Cardiology?
A1 - It means that work on all new profiles is stopped. This includes the current proposals for development in 2007-2008 (see below). The domain membership can, in principle, engage in maintenance work on existing (trial implementation, and approved) profiles. Work is ongoing to see what the level of interest in this is and how the meeting management and infrastructure to support this can be organized.
Customers will (and should) still demand existing IHE-profiles in their RFPs and vendors will continue to work on bringing these to market and supporting them.
Q2 - Is this decision final?
A2 - Things can always change, but until another formal domain sponsor can be found the Domain will remain dormant. Former Members of the IHE Cardiology Planning and Technical Comittees are continuing to pursue support alternatives in a private capacity. If we are successful in securing IHE Board-approved domain sponsorship, then we are committed to reinstating the Domain and continuing to work on Interoperability within Cardiology via the IHE.
Q3 - In the absence of the IHE-cardiology Domain, how will interoperability in cardiology proceed?
A3 - Interoperability in cardiology is and should proceed using the existing standards encouraged by IHE:
- the existing IHE-Cardiology Profiles
- DICOM and HL7
Also many existing and new profiles from the other IHE Domains (particularly Radiology and ITI) are appropriate for cardiology, and these are continuing to be developed and supported.
Q4 - how will I know if things change?
A4 - Check back on this wiki (which is being kindly hosted by the IHE-Radiology domain).
Q5 - What can I do to help?
A5 - Please use your influence to inform your professional bodies of the situation and encourage them to provide support for IHE-cardiology. Please contact any of the former IHE-cardiology co-chairs with ideas or opportunities to get the domain reinstated.
