IHE Connectathon 2007

The page gives references and guidance to ISVs who wish to use OHF for the IHE 2007 Connectathon. We are starting to get ready for the IHE Connectathon 2008, if you wish to be there there you might wish to take a look on this page from time to time.


For questions, please refer the OHF Newsgroup.

What is IHE?

This paragraph is taken from the IHE Wiki, please visit the Wiki for more information and references.

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.

Connect-a-thon

The connect-a-thon is a one week event organized by a regional IHE to perform interoperability testing of equipements implementing IHE specified integration profiles. Currently, there are connect-a-thon in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Connectathon 2006

Though things have changed, it is good to newcomers to take a look at the results of the previous connect-a-thon in order to get a feeling of what they are heading to. You may also want to have a look at the following videos : 6Mb 18Mb 30Mb

Allocating new Patient IDs for Testing
NOTE, the following info is taken from here

The Registry actor, per the XDS Profile specification, validates patient IDs against against those received in the Patient Identify Feed. To get credit for successfully running a test, you must use a unique patient ID for that test run. No other submissions may be made against that patient ID. This assists with test validation. The patient ID is submitted as part of your test results.

To generate a unique patient ID for a test instance, go to the Patient ID Allocator service.
