Results from Past Connectathons IHE Maintains a database of results from past IHE-North America and IHE-Europe connectathons in this Connectathon Results Database. Product RegistryDevelopers of commercial and open source healthcare IT systems can publish IHE Integration Statements to indicate their systems' conformance with specifications in the IHE Technical Frameworks. The Integration Statement specifies the IHE capabilities in terms of IHE Actors and Profiles. IHE has developed a new web-based database of Integration Statements. The IHE Product Registry enables developers to create, manage, and publish Integration Statements for their commercial and open source healthcare IT systems. It allows users to browse for these systems based on their conformance with specific IHE Actors and Profiles. The system is open for developers and users now! http://product-registry.ihe.net/ |

Connectathon: IHE's Premier Interoperability Testing Event
IHE provides a detailed implementation and testing process to promote the adoption of standards-based interoperability by vendors and users of healthcare information systems. The process culminates in the annual North American Connectathon, a week-long interoperability testing event in the windy city -- Chicago, Illinois. The next North American Connectathon starts on January 9, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. The 2012 European Connectathon will be in Bern, Switzerland.
Your Home for Connectathon Support Material
To help Connectathon participants prepare for the January testing event, the North American Connectathon Managers (Moore/Felhofer) collect reference material. This material, including IHE Technical Framework specifications, registration details, test tools, and event logistics, originates from different sources.
On this webpage, we attempt to gather in one place pointers to the information Connectathon participants need to get ready for the event. Use the menus at the top of the page to access details about the NA2012 Connectathon.
