Profiles

IHE Profiles describe specific solutions to interoperability problems. Profiles specify how "Actors" use standards to address a specific healthcare use case.

Each domain defines and publishes profiles to address interoperability issues related to its clinical and operational scope.

For ease of reference, each Profile is given a full name and a short acronym. Referencing IHE Profiles gives implementers and users a common language for solutions backed by detailed specifications to ensure interoperability.

The list of Profiles below is organized by the IHE Domain that produces them. The list of IHE Profiles can also be viewed:

• Alphabetically
• By Standard: CDA, DICOM, DICOMweb, FHIR, FHIR-Doc, HL7v2, HL7v3, RFD, XDW
• By Focus: Document Sharing, Security & Privacy, Patient Identity Management

Full documentation for each Profile is contained in IHE Technical Frameworks published on https://profiles.ihe.net/.

Symbols Key

Profiles are listed in one of the following states:

- Final Text (FT) - stable

- Trial Implementation (TI) - frozen for trial use; changes permitted prior to FT

- Public Comment (PC) - a TI profile republished for PC (not implementation)

- Public Comment (PC) - a new profile published for PC (not implementation); not all PC profiles are listed here
