Cerner and the IHE
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) is an initiative by medical specialists, administrators and IT professionals to improve the way healthcare computer systems share information. The initiative:
- Promotes coordinated and consistent use of established communications standards, such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical needs and support optimal patient care
- Stimulates the integration of clinical systems that support modern healthcare institutions.
Cerner Corporation was invited at the formation of the IHE and has maintained an ongoing, active role in the Planning and Technical Committees, while continuing to be a participant in the Connectathon and demonstrations.
The IHE Integration Statement
IHE Integration Statements describe how systems should be designed to interoperate. They identify the specific IHE capabilities a given product is designed to support in terms of the key concepts of IHE: Actors (a role that a given system performs) and Integration Profiles (integration function). The IHE integration statements below describe how Cerner solutions have implemented the IHE technical framework.
