Steve Merritt
Manager, Imaging and Clinical Systems, Baystate Health
Involved with IHE approximately 8 years
My primary role is to help maintain a roadmap for interoperability profiles of patient care devices. I also assist in the marketing efforts of IHE-PCD and recruiting new vendors and users into the IHE process.
IHE has become a great platform for providing practical solutions to real problems in healthcare. The IHE community is a diverse gathering of people from all backgrounds, nations and professions, making it a great place to work jointly towards our common goal: better healthcare through better interoperability. As a vendor, being part of this community helps you build better solutions, extends your network and is a means to contribute in a pre-competitive spirit.
