PCD Profiles
Overview
The IHE PCD develops standards-based interoperability profiles that address specific integration problems within the domain charter. It does this by following the IHE technical framework develoment process., which can be simply stated as:
- Describe the integration problem (profile proposal) - detailing one or more real-world use case scenarios (brief 2-page documents lead to more detailed documents)
- Develop Profile Supplements, which contain the specific content that will be published and ultimately included into the PCD Technical Framework (volumes 1 - 3)
- Publish the Supplements for Public Comment and update the Supplements based on the feedback
- Publish the Supplements for Trial Implementation - which is accomplished at annual Connectathon events
- Finalize (freeze) the Supplement once its content has stabilized and been thoroughly validated.
- Eventually integrate the Supplement into the PCD Technical Framework volumes
This page provides a launching point for the various PCD profiles.
