Interoperability Showcase
BOOTH 117
The 2008 Interoperability Showcase is the premier forum highlighting the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise’s (IHE) common framework. IHE is a global initiative, now in its tenth year that creates the framework for passing vital health information seamlessly—from application to application, system to system, and setting to setting—across multiple healthcare institutions. IHE brings together healthcare information technology stakeholders to implement standards for communicating patient information efficiently among clinicians and other healthcare providers. Please join sponsors and various IHE committee representatives in the educational theatre within the showcase to learn more about how this framework can benefit your implementation of an interoperable patient information exchange that includes various healthcare specialties such as Radiology, Cardiology, Laboratory, Patient Care Devices, and Infrastructure.
Interoperability Showcase Presentation Schedule
Wednesday, 21 May – Exhibit hours 11:45 – 14:15
| 12:00-12:30 | IHE Australia Interoperability Deployment Update Chris Lindop, GE Medical Systems The focus of the IHE Australia interoperability deployment activities which include the sharing of x-ray images as well as HL7 messages for pathology and radiology orders and results, ADT messages and referrals. The "Portable Data for Imaging" (PDI) proposed standard for exchanging radiology messages on portable media (e.g. CDs) has attracted intensive interest from the radiology industry (ADIA) as well as government and regulators (RANZCR). It is expected to become an imaging industry accreditation requirement in the near future. The Australian Department of Health and Ageing has supported the Australian IHE events since 2005 and is a major sponsor again this year. |
| 12:45 -13:15 | IHE Cardiology presented by IHE Japan Michio Kimura, Hamamatsu University MFER is a standard for wave form data, which is already an ISO/TC215 standard. Its application includes ECG analyzer-Laboratory system integration. The presentation shows how it can be applied to ECG viewing, including demonstration of ECG browsing with measurements. |
| 13:30 -14:00 | IHE Japan National Update Associate Professor Shinya Oku, The University of Tokyo Hospital HE Japan activities and suggestions about how to deploy this international ISO recognized standards adoption process in Japan. |
| 16:30 -18:00 | Exhibition Hall Reception |
Thursday, 22 May – Exhibit hours 11:30 – 14:00 and 16:00 – 18:00
| 12:00 -12:30 | How to Deploy International Standards in China --- An Example from IHE China Jiwu Zhang, Ph.D, Carestream Health, General Manager of Global R&D Center, R&D Director of Asia IHE China activities and suggestions about how to deploy this international ISO recognized standards adoption process in China. |
| 12:45 -13:15 | IHE in Regional and National Health Information Exchanges Around the World Didi Davis, Sr. Director, IHE, HIMSS IHE International deployment activities will be reviewed for the IHE North America, IHE Europe, and IHE Asia/Oceania regions. Learn more about how countries in these regions are leveraging the IHE Interoperability Framework to deploy harmonised standards-based health information exchanges around the world. |
| 13:30 -14:00 | IHE Case Study: Transforming Image Distribution for the Hainan region Chris Lindop, GE Medical Systems This case study reviews the electronic image distribution transformation currently underway in the Hainan region located in Southeast China. |
| 16:15 -16:45 | ISO/TC215 Overview Audrey Dickerson, RN MS TC 215 Secretariat Discussion of TC 215 scope and the Work Group’s (WG’s) with their main focus points. A discussion of Liaisons and the diversity of work brought to TC 215. |
| 17:00 -17:30 | Adoption of IHE XDS Profiles for Interoperable u-Health in Korea Dr. Yun Sik Kwak, MD, PhD IHE Korea was established in 2004 and it's been primarily working on nationwide "Connectathon" for medical image sharing. Since 2006 IHE XDS profiles have been studied for adoption in National EHR project and PIX and the XDS Profiles are proven to be the best standardized application solutions for the interoperable patient information sharing at point of care. |
Friday, 23 May – Exhibit hours 10:00 – 12:00
| 10:15 -10:45 | Alert Life Sciences Computing leverages IHE for Interoperability Successfully M. Catherine Glenz Alert Life Sciences Computing has contributed to IHE since 2006 in the IT Infrastructure, Patient Care Coordination, Radiology and Laboratory Domains. Learn more about how Alert has leveraged profiles from these Domains to successfully deploy interoperability requirements for patient identity management, security, radiology and laboratory messages and summary documents in health information exchanges. |
| 11:00 -11:30 | IHE Radiology; an Update Chris Lindop, GE Medical Systems This update will review the current activities of the IHE Radiology Domain. IHE Radiology is the oldest domain with 18 integration profiles. Our current activities have three areas of focus; deployment, development and strategic. Regarding deployment, several activates world wide are underway. Our review will focus on some of these current activities and the profiles. |
