IHE

IHE is an initiative by healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. IHE promotes the coordinated use of established standards such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical needs in support of optimal patient care. Systems developed in accordance with IHE communicate with one another better, are easier to implement, and enable care providers to use information more effectively. Physicians, medical specialists, nurses, administrators and other care providers envision a day when vital information can be passed seamlessly from system to system within and across departments and made readily available at the point of care. IHE is designed to make their vision a reality by improving the state of systems integration and removing barriers to optimal patient care.

Connectathon Test Process

Based on registration, participants to the connectathon need to perform a serie of test in order to be successfull. Some of the tests need to be performed ahead of the connectathon and some need to be performed during the connectathon.

Pre-Connectathon Testing

 

All participants are required to run a series of software tests in advance of the Connectathon.
These are designed as auditing tests to make sure you have prepared in advance; these are not
full test suites or certification tests for a profile.

Connectathon Testing

Connectathon Results

During the Connectathon each IHE actor/profile combination is assigned a series of unit and system tests to perform. When a system completes the required set of tests with the required number of partners, the Connectathon managers update an electronic database to indicate that the participant completed that suite of tests. After the Connectathon is completed and after several days of review, all results that indicate completed testing are published in a common database/webserver.

Purpose of the IHE Connectathon

In this page we  explain the purpose of the connectathon

The IHE Connectathon is a week long testing event managed by sponsoring organizations. Currently there are events annually in North America, Europe and Asia. The major goal of the Connectathon is to promote the adoption in commercially available healthcare IT systems of the
standards-based interoperability solutions defined by IHE. The Connectathon serves as an industry-wide testing event where participants can test their implementations with those of other vendors.
