2012-2013 ITI, PCC, PCD, QRPH & RAD Call for Proposals is now open until October 5, 2012

It is with great pleasure we announce that IHE International’s annual planning cycle has begun! The IT Infrastructure (ITI). Patient Care Devices (PCD), Quality, Research & Public Health (QRPH) Patient Care Coordination (PCC) and Radiology Domains are soliciting work item proposals for the 2012-2013 Publication Cycle.

The Call for Proposals is now open and concludes October 5, 2012. Interested parties are invited to submit a brief proposal for new IHE Profiles and/or White Papers to be considered for development in the 2012-2013 Publication Cycle.

This information below describes the entire annual planning cycle process from August – December 2012.

Help Promote IHE Call for Proposals: All IHE members and industry partners are invited share this announcement with their committee mailing lists and other interested parties.

All Proposals must follow the structure and format of the Brief IHE Proposal Template, specifically addressing the following:

• What is the problem you propose to solve by this proposal, and how is that problem expressed in practice (e.g., a use case)?
• How would fixing this problem improve health care in practice?
• What specific components of standards could be used to solve this problem?
• Your proposal should identify one or more potential editor(s) in the event that the proposal is selected for further evaluation and possible development. If possible, please include some indication of the business and/or clinical case surrounding the situation when describing the problem. For example, is there an economic motivation for addressing this problem immediately?
