IHE Technical Framework - IT Infrastructure

The IHE Technical Framework for IT Infrastructure sets standards for how healthcare systems connect and communicate securely. It ensures different devices, software, and networks within healthcare organizations can share information reliably, efficiently, and safely. By following these guidelines, hospitals and clinics can integrate various technologies—like electronic health records, imaging systems, and lab equipment—so they work seamlessly together, improving patient care and operational workflows. Essentially, it creates a common language and set of rules that make healthcare technology systems interoperable and dependable.
