“Consumers and service providers note there are many suppliers of ehealth implementation technology. They can be both competitive and complementary to each other. All naturally think they have the best idea. There is probably no one best idea within this very complex environment.

This situation is unlikely to be ever resolved except within a viable market. There cannot be such a market until acceptable standards are in use across the total community, which enable efficient interconnectivity and interoperability. IHE SHOWCASE 2010 displays the current technology status in relation to a standards based PCEHR Implementation and so provides a vital step forward in considering options to meet this primary consumer need."

Peter Brown, Cancer Voices Australia

Australia is to have a shared electronic health record focused on supporting individual patient from 2012. How can this be achieved after a decade of experimenting with local, hand crafted solutions (with variable success and limited scalability)? Is it now time for Australia to consider adopting an open, mature, implemented and practical approach to the shared EHR?

Healthcare messaging is moving to adopt Web Service technology and integrate national services such as Patient Identification and Security Certificates. The first Secure Message Delivery (SMD) Connectathon was held in April this year.

The HISA/IHE Inter-operability Showcase lets you see these leading vendors demonstrate how tomorrow’s solutions can be delivered today!

Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) is an open, not for profit, international organisation building on standards to deliver solutions to many of healthcare’s information management problems. IHE has a toolkit to enable local, regional and national groups deliver the first stages of a shared EHR, and next generation health messaging, referral, radiology image and care coordination platform – one that builds on existing vendor solutions! ** This approach is called Cross Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) **

IHE Interoperability Showcase -HIC 2010

Melbourne August 24-26th

Healthcare professionals, IT industry and the public are invited to attend a 20 minute demonstration of how the PCEHR could be implemented by vendors, today. The Showcase is located in the HIC conference exhibit.

This will be the 6th interoperability showcase at HIC. With around 15 vendor applications covering primary and community health, diagnostics, and hospitals, the showcase creates a virtual healthcare system showing how health records can be allowed to follow consumers, use as they become patients in different healthcare settings – public and private, hospital and community, and move from one region to another.

Four easy ways to see the PCEHR today

** 1. ****HIC full conference delegates** can visit at any time during breaks or throughout the conference. **The IHE Australia Showcase is another good reason to be there at HIC 2010!** ** 2. ****Register** at HIC 2010 for a **Single Day Only** to attend key sessions, visit the exhibits and walk through the IHE Australia Showcase. For HIC Single Day Only registration see: []. ** 3. **** Health Informatics Taster Registration ** provides registrants with an access pass to the essential goings-on during the first day of HIC – available Tuesday 24 August from 1.30pm to 7.00pm**. Take the opportunity to attend the IHE Australia Showcase with cocktails between 5.15pm and 7.00pm.** []. ** 4. **HIC 201**0 Conference exhibitors, registered conference delegates and Single Day Only registered delegates,** are invited to attend the IHE Australia Showcase industry briefing**- Wednesday 25th August from 5.00pm to 6.00pm**.

Where to find the Showcase in the HIC exhibition:



The showcase uses existing **clinical information** **and diagnostic imaging systems** whose vendors have adopted an IHE open standards, non proprietary and international profile for healthcare record and image exchange: **Cross Enterprise Document Share (XDS).**

During breaks from the HIC program, delegates are invited to put themselves in the patient’s shoes and take a 15 minute tour of a “virtual” healthcare system in 2015 using a **Person Controlled EHR.** We can show you tomorrow’s healthcare today. IHE’s XDS builds on standard and secure health internet technologies from HL7 and web services. The curtain goes up at 5.45pm on Tuesday –Connectivity with cocktails.

** Showtime every 1/2 hr: continuously during conference breaks **.

=Australia Showcase Background:=

1. Participation in one or more product showcases is a marketing opportunity for your products and organisation in relation to the Cross Enterprise Document Share profile for documents and images.

2. Other profiles will be available for Showcase, subject to vendor interest and sufficient actor being available.

For the past 5 years IHE Australia (working with HISA and MSIA) has run a e-health showcase at the HISA HIC conference, demonstrating scenarios about how healthcare can be improved though the movement of healthcare information to support patient care. Initially we focused on HL7 messaging primarily however in recent years we have run demonstrations of complete IHE profiles such as XDS and PDI (images on media). The IHE Showcases are usually the physical centre of the HISA exhibition and somewhat the centre of interest; those who where there __can’t__ forget seeing the Australian Health Minister (now opposition leader) walking through the healthcare services with his arm in a sling! Vendors who have conference exhibitions are also able to gain flow on exposure to attendees through the messages promoted at the Showcase.

IHE Australia is seeking expressions of interest to run a series of showcases in 2010 at the following meetings:

[|HISA HIC]Melbourne __24__-26th August [|Health-e-Nation] – Sydney 9th September [|RANZCR (Radiology) Annual Scientific Meeting] – Perth __14 – 17__ th Oct

While there are technology inputs, the Showcases are marketing events designed to show off the capacity of the IHE profiles and the vendors who implement them. The focus of this years event will be:

Patient centric EHR : We hope to run a demonstration of at least two federated regionally based health information and imaging exchanges. This would be a powerful demonstration of how the individually focused EHR can be delivered by vendors operating in the Aussie market, right now. All that is needed is the opportunity to do so and the specification of appropriate standards for technology.

Radiology image sharing and Mammography profiles: IHE has been asked by DoHA and NEHTA to collaborate on how to tackle this major issue. The PDI media profile is now part of the RANZCR practice standards, next step is image sharing between radiology services and with high end image users such as procedural specialists.

Please RSVP even if you will not be involved, and especially if you may be interested. We are operating to a strict project timeline and need to know who is interested and who is not.
