'''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), and work on moving the current Trial Implementation profiles forward to Final Text status. The domain membership can, in principle, engage in maintenance work on existing (trial implementation, and approved final text) 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 can (and should) still demand ''existing'' IHE Integration Profiles in their RFPs, and vendors will continue to work on bringing these to market and supporting them.  In addition to the Cardiology Domain profiles, many profiles from the IT Infrastructure, Patient Care Coordination, and Radiology domains are also applicable to the cardiology environment.
 
Note that under the new IHE Governance structure, the management of Connectathons and demonstrations is the responsibility of the national and regional IHE deployment organizations (not the technical Domains).  Therefore, the existing IHE Cardiology Profiles will continue to be tested and demonstrated.
 
'''Q2 - Is this decision final?'''
 
A2 - Things can always change, but until a formal 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 can and should proceed using the standards-based approach encouraged by IHE:
* Use the existing IHE Cardiology Profiles
* Use Profiles from other IHE Domains, particularly IT Infrastructure, Patient Care Coordination, Radiology, and the new Quality domain.
* Use DICOM and HL7 under local (site negotiated) implementation guides or agreements
 
'''Q4 - How will I know if things change?'''
 
A4 - Check back on this wiki (which is being kindly hosted by HIMSS and RSNA).
 
'''Q5 - What can I do to help?'''
 
A5 - Please use your influence to inform the cardiology 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.

NOTICE : THE IHE CARDIOLOGY DOMAIN IS OFFICIALLY DORMANT

The American College of Cardiology, formerly the sponsor of the domain, discontinued its funding and staff support in 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.

In March 2009, the ACC submitted a proposal to the IHE International Board to re-establish the IHE Cardiology Domain. For further information, see the main page for the Cardiology Domain.

In conjunction with the re-establishment of the Domain, there will be a call for participation on the Planning and Technical Committees. The roster below reflects the 2007-2008 membership. New chairs will be chosen from the new memership.
