Frameworks
IHE Technical Frameworks define precisely the technical details of the Integration Profiles. These documents are used by engineers to implement IHE functionality.
Technical frameworks are published in volumes. The first volume typically defines the Profile, the use cases, the actors involved and the requirements for conformance. Subsequent volume(s) specify how to implement the transactions used in the Profiles. The last volume is usually reserved for National / Regional extensions.
Change Proposals are fixes and clarifications which get incorporated into the Technical Framework.
The Technical Frameworks published for implementation by each IHE Domain can be found here:

IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework
This page is outdated, but if it were updated, it may still be useful. Please help by correcting, augmenting and revising the text into an up-to-date form.
The IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework (PCC TF), defines specific implementations of established standards to promote appropriate exchange of medical information and to coordinate the optimal patient care among care providers in different care settings. It is expanded annually, after a period of public review, and maintained regularly through the identification and correction of errata.
The IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework identifies a subset of the functional components of the healthcare enterprises and health information networks, called IHE actors, and specifies their interactions in terms of a set of coordinated, standards-based transactions, communicating a variety of content. The actors, messaging transactions, and content exchanged are described in further detail in Volume I and II.
Volume I provides an overview of each profile. Volume II provides detailed technical information about the implementation of the transactions and the content exchanged in each of the profiles. Both volumes are available in PDF form. This material has also been made available on the IHE Wiki through the Web links below.
- Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework Volume I
- Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework Volume II
Web Content is used for development only. The normative content of the Technical Framework and its supplements can be found in the PDF links above and can also be accessed from here: http://www.ihe.net/Technical_Framework/index.cfm#PCC
A download of the IHE Patient Care Coordination Wiki containing the web content necessary to implement the profiles is also available from: ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Patient_Care_Coordination/yr3_2007-2008/resources/pccwiki.zip
This file includes the Web content, and a Schematron file which can be used to validate documents, sections and entries using the templates found in the framework. This file can be unzipped to a folder on your hard drive, with the web content access from the index.htm in the root of that folder.
Supplements
Each profile is also available on the IHE Wiki the form of a supplement, which contains all of the information from both Volume I and Volume II. This includes all of the details necessary to implement the profile.
