IHE is an international organisation made up of health IT system users and vendors where collaboration occurs on solving practical health communication problems. IHE provides a standards based health interoperability architectural framework and it works for those health sectors (e.g. radiology, pathology) and countries (e.g. USA, Canada, Austria, Italy, France) where national authorities are working with industry via IHE to deliver health communication systems. The key the success of IHE has been a iterative development of interoperability profiles based on existing health IT standards such as HL7, Web Services, DICOM. These profiles then can be extended as user and industry requirements emerge. Each year IHE prioritises a number of new profiles or extensions for development. Australia has used this approach to create standard implementation profiles of HL7, and more recently the industry, NEHTA and DoHA partnership on developing profiles for webservice messaging (PIP Secure Messaging).
 * Background:**

Tackling a health communication problem the IHE way starts with development of an implementable profile which meet user requirements, select standards, provide any missing components such as terminology, and remove ambiguity. **IHE Australia (sponsored by GE Healthcare) is offering a half day webinar session on “interoperability profile development”.** This workshop will use ‘e-referral” and “care coordination” use-cases (which incidentally cover a real life proposal from IHE Australia for inclusion of these in the IHE infrastructure profile set).


 * Who should attend**: Those involved in eHealth with focus on e-referrals and healthcare communication, policy makers, standards developers.

Course leader: Chris Lindop (co-chair of IHE radiology) and IHE international liaison with IHE Australia.
