The IHE foundations exam is for persons with a health IT background, with a requirement or an intention to use products based on IHE profiles, either someone (contracted) to work for a healthcare provider organization, or someone employed by a software development company. This course enables you to apply the IHE methodology (ISO/TR 28380) for developing interoperability specifications for an existing healthcare environment. You will have the skills to identify and use the appropriate existing IHE profiles when faced with a healthcare interoperability project.
The IHE Foundations Exam is part of the IHE Certified Professional Program (IHE-CPP).
Locate & navigate the resources
IHE offers a large variety of artefacts to be used by the community. You will learn on how to use the IHE Homepage to research the Technical Frameworks and use the Connectathon result matrix and product registry, to identify products tested at the Connectathon. You will also learn about IHE Conformity Assessment methods and reports.
IHE Example Profiles & Standards
IData exchange based on IHE profiles is based on several standards from HL7, DICOM or other SDOs. These standards define interoperability requirements from syntactical and semantical point of view to share information. You will learn about base technologies like HTTP, XML, SOAP, RESTful architecture and base standards like HL7 v2, HL7v3/CDA HL7 FHIR and DICOM. Furthermore you will get an overview about the top 10 IHE profiles and learn about IHE’s Security & Privacy profiles.

What our participants are saying:
IHE Foundations training guides you through the structure and organization of IHE. You get a clear understanding of the key concepts behind profiles and how the „IHE ecosystem“ is organized. It is very useful even for those already working for a long time within IHE committees or using IHE profiles.
The Technikum Wien Academy is the first and only IHE accredited training provider worldwide for the IHE Certified Professional – IHE Foundations Level Exam.

Curriculum
| Overview |
|---|
| 1. Orientation on the IHE organisation In order to engage in IHE one must understand the organisational structure and the tasks that each unit performs. |
| 2. IHE Methodology IHE develops Technical Frameworks including integration profiles that define how IT standards are used to share health-related information between IT systems. This module teaches you about the IHE document structures and methods used during the annual IHE review and development cycle. |
| 3. Locate and navigate through IHE resources IHE offers a large variety of artefacts to be used by the community. This module shows where you can find which information, and how to use it. |
| 4. IHE Example profiles, base standards, general healthcare IT knowledge IT systems communication using IHE profiles is based on several standards from HL7, DICOM or other Standards Development Organisations. This module provides a general overview about basic technologies, standards and security requirements as they are used in IHE profiles. |
| 5. Accelerate Health Information Exchange deployment On top of technical interoperability, legal and organisational issues must be addressed during integration of processes and IT systems. This module demonstrates the “IHE Interoperability Use Case Deployment Methodology” to support real world deployment. |

„Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise“ (IHE) is a global not-for-profit initiative with regional and national branches. It provides a pragmatic methodology ensuring interoperability between healthcare IT systems resulting in a body of technical and semantic specifications, which are published by IHE as Technical Framework(s). IHE also organises testing events worldwide to allow vendors to verify and validate their conformance with the IHE specifications. IHE is a joint initiative of users of healthcare IT systems and providers of such systems. IHE is governed by an international board that provides strategic direction and coordinates the technical development activities of IHE. In Europe, IHE is coordinated by IHE-Europe.
IHE was created in 1998 by users and industry in the US in order to respond to increasingly urgent issues of interoperability in the Radiology Domain. The two user organisations RSNA (www.rsna.org) and HIMSS (www.himss.org) created a unique platform for users and vendors for defining specifications of healthcare IT systems that enable interoperability between complex applications. The concept of the IHE process was taken up in Europe as well as Asia shortly afterwards. European activities were started in the year 2000 by COCIR (www.cocir.org) and the European Society of Radiology – ESR (www.myesr.org). Because of the nature of the European healthcare environment, national IHE Initiatives have developed in a number of European countries. These initiatives coordinate their activities at the European level within the association IHE-Europe aisbl.
