=IHE INTEROPERABILITY SHOWCASE 2013=

IHE Australia is an open not-for-profit initiative that supports the interoperability needs of e-Health Standards users in Australia. IHE Australia is the official local deployment group of IHE International. IHE International is endorsed by over 600 professional and Standards organisations, healthcare providers and vendors world-wide. IHE Australia has local responsibility for the promotion and education on the IHE approach, the evaluation, localisation and creation of Integration Specifications ("Profiles") and the running of local conformance testing events ("Connectathons") and Showcases according to the IHE International guidelines, ISO 28380 TR and Australian best practice. IHE derives its Profiles from existing global and local standards and is a Standards Development Organisation.

The IHE Australia 2013 Showcase at HIC 2013 is a real life demonstration of how patient care can be improved with effective communication as our patient seeks care in different parts of the “healthcare system”. One of the audience will become “the patient” and together we track both the care and the information flows. The seven vendors involved have interoperability products in the Australian market to support HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE as well as their core functions. Vendors are using the international IHE Cross Enterprise Document Share (XDS.b) profile of standards, which is also the underpinning of the Australian eHealth Record (AKA Personally Controlled Electronic Healthcare Record - PCEHR). Local Health Exchange has the potential to add value to the PCEHR. A regional model for health information exchange, based on the XDS profile can deliver a number of over existing messaging and extend the benefits of the eHealth record.
