1. Summary
An increasing number of clinicians have imaging and diagnostic equipment and electronic medical records in their offices. This equipment needs to be integrated into the office environment workflow, and the imaging results need to be seamlessly integrated into the EMR.
The workflow and result integration efforts of IHE have to this point been directed primarily towards the in-patient environment. However, there is a critical need for simplified integration in the ambulatory environment.
Note that the systems in an office environment must in may ways be more technically sophisticated than in an in-patient environment, as they must operate with less IT-savvy human supervision, and combine features that would otherwise be distributed across multiple systems.
