IHE? Anyone? (Score 1)

It's strange that this does topic did not trigger anyone to mention the IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) This initiative by healthcare professionals AND industry tries to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information.

As one working for one of the members of IHE I can say it works: the communication in healthcare does improve.

This is achieved by IHE through selecting standards to use (NO new standards are created) and testing that the members comply to these standards.
