Integrated Health Care IHE Pathway for the Patient 
"Developing an Integrated Healthcare Enterprise IHE, Collaborative Imaging & Progression towards an all Digital Facility based on the ICARAS* agenda" 

Our objective is the “ICARAS* based systems integration and interoperability” development and deployment of “Trust Wide” medical images and health records over high speed fixed and mobile-wireless data links. 
We have a pedigree in PC based Telemedicine and Medical Informatics since the mid 1990s implementing and evaluating medical and digital data transfers in collaboration with academic, NHSIA and industrial partners. 
The IHE development was designed to meet the growing demand for medical information over integrated systems. 

* ICARAS: Interoperability, Compatibility, Accessibility, Reliability, Scalability, Affordability

 We have evaluated and implemented to date: 
  • Realtime ultrasound transfers on ISDN6(1996/97) 
  • Clinical/teaching/research image storage systems(1996/97) 
  • GP Link(1997/98) 
  • Smart Card based solutions for IHE(1997/98) 
  • Emergency medicine solutions for image transfers using mobile   communication technology(1998/99) 
  •  “Multicentre-Cardiovascular-Multimedia” Database(1998/99)
  • Lung Cancer Care Protocol to meet with the national guidelines and the NSFs(1999/2000)
  • Remote Image links for chest and ultrasound images(2001)
  • 2/6 planned OP Clinics for digital chest image transfers as a part of the Avon Health IT Strategy(2001)
  • NT Roll-out-Phase II for multimedia/image based RIS(2001)
