Greetings IHE Community,

Please continue reading for more details on these events.
NOTE: Please open and read the attached calendar invitations and documents in this email to begin planning for the October/November IHE F2F meetings.
All Proposals must follow the structure and format of the attached brief IHE Proposal Template and must address the following items:
a) What is the problem you propose to solve by this proposal and how is that problem expressed in practice (e.g., a use case)?
b) How would fixing this problem improve health care in practice?
c) What specific components of standards could be used to solve this problem?
d) Your proposal must identify one or more potential editor(s) in the event that the proposal is selected for further evaluation and possible development.
e) If possible, please include some indication of the business case surrounding the situation when describing the problem. For example, is there an economic motivation for addressing this problem immediately?
