Roadmap
2006 - IHE Eye Care Year 1 - Focus is to initiate IHE Eye Care, building upon basic profiles of workflow, charge posting and evidence reports and begin introducing this to the vendor and user community.
2007 - IHE Eye Care Year 2 - Focus is on building upon the beginning efforts and expand participation of vendors, particularly acquisition modalities. One new profile was added, Eye Care Displayable Reports, to enhance the usability to users.
2008 - IHE Eye Care Year 3 - Focus is on expanding participation of vendors, particularly electronic health record systems, to build critical mass in IHE Eye Care and building up physician/user understanding of the needs for IHE/interoperability
2009 - IHE Eye Care Year 4 - Focus is on expanding participation of vendors and building upon the awareness/education of the physicians and by expanding usage of IHE Eye Care by extending the Framework to include a new actor, Legacy Acquisition Modality Importer, which allows physicians to use their existing devices, instead of having to purchase new devices.
2010 - IHE Eye Care Year 5 - Focus is on continuing to expand participation of vendors, both acquisition modality vendors, legacy acquisition modalities, and electronic health record systems to reach a critical mass. Work in future years will be to build in more Information Technology Infrastructure profiles into the Technical Framework.
2011 - IHE Eye Care Year 6 - Focus is on continuing to expand participation of vendors to reach a critical mass by developing a new supplement, Basic Eye Care Workflow. Also, work in future years will build Eye Care specific CDA templates.
Current Activity
IHE Eye Care has been working on the 2011 Basic Eye Care Workflow Profile. The Trial Implementation Version will be published in spring 2011 and available here under Technical Frameworks. Correction Proposals are accepted by the Technical Committee for consideration.
The Technical Committee is also working on Eye Care. Comments are accepted by the Technical Committee for consideration.
