IHE year 3 demonstration participation at RSNA 2001: image manager, image archive and MPPS manager

The IHE initiative sponsored by the RSNA and HIMMS defines a Technical Framework designed to advance the state of data integration in a healthcare environment. This Technical framework defines a set of actors and the roles they must perform for each Integration Profile. Each role consists of a well-defined set of electronic transactions that are based on existing healthcare information standards, namely: DICOM and HL7. IHE brings together the major vendors in the healthcare information and imaging systems industry to agree upon and demonstrate standard interfaces and data architectures at the annual meetings of the RSNA and HIMSS since 1999. We have implemented grouping actors, namely Image Manager, Image Archive and MPPS Manager and selected PGP Integration Profile for IHE Year3 Demonstration at the annual meetings of the RSNA 2001 and HIMSS 2002. Storage Service, Query/Retrieve Service, Storage Commitment Service, and Modality Performed Procedure Step Service of DICOM Standard and also A02, A03, A06, A07, A08 and A40 Event of ADT Messages and ORM Message among lots of messages of HL7 Standard in accordance with IHE Technical Framework have developed in our system. We passed vendor interoperability testing at IHE Connectathon on October and demonstrated successfully with other vendors at the IHE Demonstration of RSNA 2001.
