Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) IHE is an initiative by healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. IHE promotes the coordinated use of established standards such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical needs in support of optimal patient care.
1 Integration Statements and RFPs: Vendors publish IHE Integration Statements to document the integration profiles supported by their products. 2  Users can reference integration profiles in requests for proposals, simplifying the systems acquisition process.illing the gap between standards and systems integration has, until now, required expensive, site-specific interface development. To close that gap a process for building a detailed framework for the implementation of standards is needed. IHE provides that process.
