IHE Domains are responsible for the development and maintenance of the IHE Technical Frameworks that document the Integration Profiles. Each Domain manages Integration Profiles in a particular part of healthcare. For convenient reference, each Domain has a short acronym.
New Domains are added as more fields of healthcare adopt the IHE process.
Each domain carries out its work in two Committees.
The Planning Committee for a domain:
- Recruits vendors of relevant information systems and users with clinical and operational experience
- Develops long-term goals and roadmap
- Identifies integration and information sharing problems and priorities
- Gathers and reviews proposals for new problems/profiles.
- Selects proposals for technical/effort evaluation by the Technical Committee
- Approves proposals for Profile development by the Technical Committee
- Develops educational materials for the domain and profiles
The Technical Committee for a domain:
- Recruits vendors of relevant information systems and users with clinical and operational experience
- Assesses the feasibility and estimated effort of selected profile proposals
- Builds concensus on the appropriate standards-based solutions to approved proposals
- Develops Integration Profiles to document the solutions in detail
- Maintains the Technical Framework for the domain
Each domain is sponsored by a professional society.
The Sponsor for a domain:
- Oversees vendor meetings within IHE
- Recruits domain professionals to act as clinical advisors for the domain committees
- Hosts or arranges facilities for meetings and teleconferences of the domain committees
- Serves as secretariat for the domain committees
- Maintains the copyright for the IHE domain materials (TF, etc)
- ...
Coordination among domains is the responsibility of the Domain Co-chairs Committee, comprising representatives from each of the domain planning and technical committees.
