Charter Project: IHE project
Requesting approval in principle
Scope & Expected Contributions
•
Initial contribution is a subset of the Eclipse OHF project, namely:
–
–
•
The IHE Component is an implementation of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles and
transactions
–
–
–
•
The IHE is a healthcare-focused body that profiles interoperability transactions through open standards (such as HL7 and DICOM)
IHE component provides API-level tooling to IHE interoperability transactions, such as document and patient identity sharing
Native Java, packaged as Eclipse plug-ins, 550k LOC
The Bridge component is a server-side reference implementation of the IHE component, designed for
use as a Web service (Tomcat/Axis)
–
–
•
IHE component
Bridge component
Provides simplified, platform-neutral access to IHE component
Java+OSGi extensions, packaged as Eclipse plug-ins, the proposal use case for server-side Equinox, 20k LOC
These two components combine to power over one-third of all client-side systems testing
interoperability at IHE testing events (Connectathon/MESA)
–
–
Only comprehensive, open source client-side IHE tools
Effectively the de facto reference implementation
•
Transfer existing source code and documentation, and contribute all future source code and
documentation for these components to the IHE Charter Project at OHT
•
No known potential IP issues. All code has been vetted for open source contribution already.
