Frameworks

IHE Technical Frameworks

IHE Technical Frameworks specify the technical details of the Integration Profiles.

Each IHE Domain publishes a Technical Framework used by engineers to implement IHE functionality.

Technical frameworks are published in volumes. The first volume typically defines each Profile, the use cases, the actors involved and the requirements for conformance. Subsequent volume(s) specify how to implement the transactions used in the Profiles. The last volume is usually reserved for National / Regional extensions.
