I have been a supporter of standards based interoperability since 1994 as a member of HL7. I was happy to learn about IHE in 2000. IHE continues to help provide interoperability specifications that many countries have adopted into their requirements for health information exchange. IHE helps provide the Lego building blocks necessary to achieve interoperability between HIT systems and medical devices across the care continuum.
