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

- Serves as secretariat for the domain committees
