IT Infrastructure
The IT Infrastructure Domain supports profiles which supply the necessary infrastructure for sharing healthcare information. An infrastructure interoperability component represents a common IT function that is used as a building block for a variety of use cases... a necessary ingredient, but rarely visible to the end user!! These components may be imbedded in an application, but are often deployed as a shared resource within a RHIO or Health Information Exchange.
This domain began in 2003, is sponsored by Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and [http://www.rsna.org/ Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The ITI domain supports 18 IT Infrastructure Profiles as well as the IT Infrastructure Technical Framework.
