Approval Process for IHE Actors, Transactions and Glossary Terms

Introduction

To promote reuse and reduce duplication, IHE requests the new or updated Actors, Transactions and Glossary Terms be presented to the Domain Coordination Committee for review prior to publication for Trial Implementation.

IMPORTANT:

• Prior to submitting requests for new actors or transactions, please browse Gazelle for existing actors and/or transactions that may meet the needs of your profile. Please see the Gazelle Browsing Wiki page for information on browsing Gazelle.

• Prior to submitting requests for new glossary terms, please search the Standards Knowledge Management Tool (SKMT) as defined on the Standards Knowledge Management Tool Wiki page to see if the term already exists.

• For guidance on naming actors and transactions see the IHE Profile Design Principles and Conventions Wiki page. A few tips from this page:
