Business Outcomes
The business outcomes describe how a CP IHE Foundation typically contributes to activities in the healthcare enterprise
A competent CP IHE Foundation will:
- provide training and introduce teams into the concepts of IHE
- assess the available IHE related skills within a team, identify gaps, provide guidance on how missing knowledge can be acquired
- identify components in existing IT systems that conform to IHE profiles
- conceptualise IHE based extensions of existing IT systems
- support teams to identify and understand the base standards that are necessary to implement IT systems based on IHE
- capture the interoperability requirements of users in healthcare and formulate specifications using IHE profiles
- plan, manage and perform pre-Connectathon and Connectathon testing of IT systems
- adress interoperability issues that arise during implementation and answer them using IHE resources and contacts
- follow the continuous extension and development of TFs within IHE securing long term investments
- contribute to IHE profile development, representing the requirements of the institution
- perform a market analysis of products and vendors regarding conformance to IHE profiles
- negotiate specific issues of IHE conformance e.g during procurement, development or maintenance
- map user and system requirements to IHE profiles throughout the software life cycle
- together with legal and administrative experts conceptualise how specific regulatory requirements can be addressed using IHE security and privacy profiles
