Education Workgroup
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 "Certified Professionals" in the IHE space (CP IHE). 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.
CP Drafts
As a first step in Q1 2015 we want to develop a small series of CP profiles. This exercise will help us to better understand what a CP actually is and how this activity fits into IHE as a whole.
The "CP IHE Foundation" might be intended for many as a first step. The "CP IHE Document Sharing" (working title) might be very advanced, building on and extending the "foundation" into a specific direction. A "CP IHE 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.
This work is in part drawing from the way DICOM defines profesional expertise: http://www.siim.org/?page=become_ciip
Go here for the drafts of CP IHE profiles:
CP IHE Foundation (first raw draft)
CP IHE Document Sharing (very early, needs more work)
