IHE Value Proposition
• IHE Solutions are Driven by Strategic Healthcare Lead Users that collaborate with Healthcare Vendors
• IHE Solutions are Generic, Reusable and Interoperablebased on Healthcare Standards: DICOM, HL7, RFC
• IHE Solutions Optimize the Clinical Workflows
• IHE Deployment process – Connectathon, Integration Statements and Users Success Stories information helps to refine the product “Business Case”
• IHE Technical Framework specification describes the Global IHE solutions at a High Level for Planning & Marketing and in details for products Architects and Engineering development
IHE Benefits• Clinical Users
• Greater access to consistent information
• Fewer errors, fewer tedious tasks
• Administrators
• Increased throughput - Better scheduling
• Reduce Cost
• Buyers
• Specify/purchase RFP’s integration capabilities easily and Freedom to acquire “Best of Breed” systems
• IT Professionals
• Faster, more predictable integration projects
• Facilitate cooperation of competing vendors

IHE Privacy and Security Toolkit
• Accountability Controls – includes security audit logging,
reporting, alerting and alarming
• Identification and Authentication Controls - personal
interactions, Digital Certificates, security assertions,
Kerberos
• Access Controls – Role Based Access Controls
• Confidentiality Controls – encryption or access controls
• Data Integrity Controls – digital signatures, secure hash
algorithms, CRC, and checksum
• Non-Repudiation Controls
• Patient Privacy Controls
• Availability Controls – backup, replication, fault tolerance,
RAID, trusted recovery, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.
IHE reinforces need for basic security functionalities –
through Audit Trail and Node Authentication

Infusion Pump Event
Communication (IPEC)
Pump provides information on
infusion-related events to
BCMA/EMR (PCD-10) such as:
• Delivery Start
• Delivery Stop
• Delivery Complete
Prior to medication
administration, nurse confirms
the 6 Rights of administration
using BCMA/EMR:
• Right Patient
• Right Medication
• Right Dose
• Right Time
• Right Route
• Right Device
Infusion-related events are
displayed, validated, and/or
recorded by the clinician using
the BCMA/EMR
BCMA/EMR
Infusion Pump Event Communication enables reporting of clinical and operational events from an
infusion pump to a Bedside Computer-assisted Medication Administration (BCMA) system or EMR.
Clinicians can then view and validate this information for infusion documentation.

What is an IHE Connectathon?
Cross-vendor, live, supervised, structured tests
All participating vendors’ products tested together in the same place/time
Experts from each vendor available for immediate problem resolution… fixes are done in minutes, not months!!
Each vendor tests with multiple trading partners (actual product to actual product)
Testing of real-world clinical scenarios using IHE Integration Profiles
