Promotion

As IHE Profiles are developed they need to be promoted to:

Vendors who would benefit from implementing the profile in products
Users who would benefit from deploying the profile (by purchasing products/upgrades)
Standards Adoption Groups who could leverage IHE Profiles in their activities

Regional & National IHE Committees are responsible for promoting profiles to vendors and users in their region.

Domain Planning Committees are responsible for general promotion and preparing materials for the profiles they develop.

Some methods and avenues for such promotions are described here.
