| What is IHE?"Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise" (IHE) fills the "gap" between the creation of e-Health standards and their implementation. IHE is not "Yet Another Standard" but is the missing link between standards development and compliant implementations. IHE supports vendors and implementers in effectively building compliant healthcare computing systems and interfaces based on global standards such as HL7 and DICOM.
Jan. 2011 Connectathon, Chicago, USA Because of its critical function in the systems implementation life-cycle, IHE has since 2004 been supported by leading e-Health organisations in the Asia-Pacific region: HL7 Australia, MSIA, HL7 New Zealand, HISA as well as RANZCR and ADIA.

HL7 Offers Free Ambassador Webinar: Meaningful Use Stage 2 and HL7 Standards Thursday, 26th April 2012 Health Level Seven® International (HL7®), the global authority for interoperability and standards in healthcare information technology with members in 55 countries, will present a complimentary Ambassador webinar titled Meaningful Use Stage 2 and HL7 Standards on Thursday, May 3 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT. Health Level Seven International Project Supports the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Blue Button® Requirements Tuesday, 28th February 2012 Health Level Seven® (HL7®) International, the global authority on standards for interoperability of health information technology with members in 55 countries, today announced a response to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) recent requirement that U.S. Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) health insurance carriers support the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Blue Button® text file format as a means of conveying personal health information to federal employees. In January 2012, HL7 launched a project that defines the conversion of an HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD®) to the Blue Button format via an XSLT style sheet tool. Because most Meaningful Use–certified health information exchange systems already possess CCD-export capabilities, the tool will be able to leverage those capabilities as a simple and effective way for many carriers to meet OPM's new requirement. HL7 Pilot Program to Provide Key Intellectual Property Free of Charge Wednesday, 22nd February 2012 Health Level Seven® International (HL7®) announced today a pilot program to provide some of its key intellectual property free of charge. HL7 is keeping its promise to lower the barriers to adoption of electronic health records by making portions of our valuable intellectual property freely available to our stakeholders, said Charles Jaffe, MD, PhD, CEO of HL7. We believe that care givers, academic centers and vendors will greatly benefit from this significant enhancement for access to valuable HL7 material. Could not find the News you were looking for?
