The challenge
Interoperability plays a crucial role in the digitization of healthcare. The implementation of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles is an established approach in order to reach this goal with multivendor capability. This makes the integration of IHE-compliant interfaces a recurring requirement in numerous software and infrastructure projects. Technical and structural complexity makes this a considerable challenge.
Your advantages
Straightforward client applications
There is a complete data model for each profile. A simple programming interface abstracts the complex IHE structures and enables the efficient implementation of IHE client systems. The software implementation of iVY.CONNECT supports straightforward interaction with commonly used technology stacks such as Jakarta Enterprise Edition (formerly Java EE), Spring, or Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi).
The client module supports the following IHE profiles:
- Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS.b),
- Patient Demographics Query HL7 v3 (PDQv3),
- Patient Identifier Cross-Reference HL7 v3 (PIXv3),
- Healthcare Provider Directory (HPD),
- Audit Trail and Node Authentication (ATNA),
- Cross-Enterprise User Assertion (XUA),
- Document Metadata Subscription (DSUB),
- Cross-Community Access (XCA),
- Cross-Community Document Reliable Interchange (XCDR),
- Multi-Patient Queries (MPQ),
- Remove Metadata and Documents (RMD),
- Sharing Value Sets (SVS),
- Advanced Patient Privacy Consents (APPC),
- Specification of the electronic case file (Elektronischen FallAkte) in version 2.0 (EFA 2.0)
Straightforward server applications
The server module implements the IHE profiles XDS.b, RMD, MPQ, SVS, PDQv3, PIXv3, HPD, ATNA, XUA, APPC, DSUB, as well as the Electronic Case Record specification version 2.0. In addition to lightweight integration, easy connection to data sources based on MongoDB, S3 storage, file systems is possible.
Easy EFA 2.0
A complete EFA 2.0 environment can be set up with the help of iVY.CONNECT. Numerous projects are already based on our IHE suite today.
