Hello Dr. Chandana,
Sorry I was unable to to download the pdf files. Can you please send them to me via e-mail. I'll contact my Philips sales rep, the moment she is available. However going back to IHE standards. I was at the Himms2012 conference, attending the Interoperability section.
I think that not only manufacturers are trying to implement this standard i.e Philips, Drager, Siemens, Mindray, Smith Medical etc to state a few. However I came across EHR/EMR & HIS vendors who are in the process of being IHE compliant as well Cerner, Allscripts, SIS etc.
The interesting part is that not only NIST is taking an active role but also FDA has also shown an interest in the IHE standards.
My other question was are you aware of anyone using their in-house development to develop the middleware (DOR & DOF)? just curious?
Thanks
Tim
