"Introduction to IHE" Seminar and IHECross-Enterprise Document
Sharing ("XDS") Course, 12-13 June, 2008
Importance: High
Dear DI and IHE-Google-Group Members,
These events are coming up at the end of next week - please register NOW if you want to learn about IHE. Thank you!
FREE "Introduction to IHE" Seminar
Sydney - 12 June 2008, 10:00 - 12:30
Since Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise ("IHE") came to Australia in late 2004, interest and participation has been steadily growing and the annual "Interoperability Showcase" at the HIC Conferences has become an increasingly important interoperability event in Australia. IHE now has broad interest as vendors and purchasers experience the value of practically demonstrated system interoperability.
A free half-day Seminar will provide an introduction and overview of IHE and its relevance to e-Health implementation in Australia.
The Seminar is free. Detailed program and registration here: www.IHE.net.au/Introduction-Seminar
IHE XDS "Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing" Seminar
Sydney - 13 June 2008, 9:30 - 17:00
IHE's "Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing" ("XDS") allows distribution and access of clinical documents across different care settings in healthcare enterprises. This can be the first step towards the longitudinal Electronic Health Record (EHR). XDS is an industry-developed architecture which is extensible to support both point-to-point exchange as well shared documents which "follow" the patient through different care settings. XDS uses a registry/repository approach for accessing clinical documents, rather than a centralised EHR model. It easily supports distributed and organically grown healthcare systems.
XDS is rapidly gaining interest around the world with some of the US Regional Health Information Organisation ("RHIO"s) deploying XDS in their system architectures. XDS is being implemented for radiology image sharing across Canada and there are several early implementations in Europe. A substantial number of vendors are "XDS-ready" and have tested their products in US and European IHE "Connectathons". XDS uses a number of communications and data standards. It fully incorporates HL7 CDA which was endorsed by NEHTA in 2007.
We are pleased to be able to offer an intensive XDS Course delivered by Chris Lindop MS, a distinguished IHE expert and Interoperability Program Manager at GE Healthcare from the USA. The Course will provide an in-depth understanding of XDS, its structure and capabilities.
The Course fee is $450, reduced to $400 for HISA, HL7 Australia and MSIA members. A Certificate of Attainment will be issued to those successfully attending the Course.
