IHE Technical Framework - Patient Care Coordination

The IHE Technical Framework for Patient Care Coordination sets standards to ensure different healthcare systems and providers can share patient information efficiently and securely. Its goal is to improve communication among doctors, hospitals, labs, and other healthcare entities, allowing for seamless access to accurate, up-to-date patient data. This facilitates coordinated care, reduces errors, and helps providers make informed decisions faster. Essentially, it creates a common language and process for sharing health information, ensuring patients receive consistent, safe, and effective care regardless of where or by whom they are treated.
