Charter
The Education workgroup started as an initiative of the IHE International Board in 2012. On 2014-11-05 it was formally set up as a subgroup of the Global Deployment Coordination Committee (GDC), see the minutes.
Current Work
Users and vendors are increasingly calling out for support in implementation in many ways. Consequently questions arise: What kind of help is needed? Which kinds of services do we see? Which knowledge and skills are needed? Who can do what?
The Education workgroup explores the path to "IHE Certified Professionals" (ICP). On that path we will define business outcomes, content, methods and procedures for assessment and certification. Very likely a modular approach will emerge, from the "Basic" and "Advanced" to the "Expert" level. See you there!!
A first set of concepts were captured into a 2014 white paper. From here the intention is to gradually progress towards an operative certification scheme over the next years.
ICP Drafts
The term "IHE Certified Professional" (ICP) was agreed to be a used to describe IHE related skills of a person. As a first step in Q1 2015 we want to develop a small series of ICP profiles. This exercise will help us to better understand what an ICP actually is and how this activity fits into IHE as a whole.
The "IHE Certified Professional Foundation Level" (ICP Foundation Level) may be as a first step. The "IHE Certified Professional Document Sharing" (ICP Document Sharing, working title) is an example for an advanced set of skills, building on and extending the "foundation" into a specific direction. An "ICP Imaging" may evolve as well, also as an advanced skill profile. We still need to learn in which way a number of modules provides a useful whole.
HIMSS provides a certification for professionals as well, together with documents for training and a test exam : Become CPHIMS Certified
This work is also drawing from the way DICOM defines professional expertise: http://www.siim.org/?page=become_ciip
Go here for the drafts of ICP profiles:
ICP Foundation Level (work group draft, had some review rounds)
ICP Document Sharing (early work group draft, had review, needs more work)
Structure and Process
Work is now starting on how to implement a certification program within IHE. Based on existing schemes we want to explor the "how".
