ITI Strategy and Liaison Activity

This page documents the activities of the ITI domain in doing strategic planning.

Categories

The IHE IT Infrastructure (ITI) domain has defined the following categories of profiles and organized the existing profiles (as of 2010) into this set of categories. It is believed that a few additional categories are appropriate for other domains but this is the minimal set that ITI has defined for profiles within the ITI domain.

Category	Description	ITI profiles (2010)
Patient and Provider Identity	Profiles in the Patient and Provider Identity category support the management of patient, provider and healthcare organization identity including their localization. This includes the ability to look up, cross-reference, update, remove, merge, link and general management of identities.	PIX, PDQ, PAM, PWP, XCPD, HPD, PIX/PDQ HL7 v3
Health Record Sharing	Profiles in the Health Record Sharing category support the ability to share patient specific healthcare information within and across Enterprises. This includes the ability to submit, locate/list, push, pull and retrieve patient specific healthcare information.	XCA, XDM, XDR, XDS, XDS-SD, MPQ, RID
Security and Privacy	Profiles in the Security and Privacy category support the ability to ensure that healthcare information is managed consistent with a reasonable set of security and privacy policies.	ATNA, BPPC, XUA, DSG, EUA
Workflow Enablers	Profiles in the Workflow Enablers category support standard sequences for performing workflow activities.	DRR, DSUB, NAV, PSA, RFD
Support Management	Profiles in the support management category support the ability to share information needed for interoperable healthcare management such as clinical coding, technical or IT management information	CT, SVS
