Abstract

In August of 2006 the US Government passed an executive order to implement electronic health records by 2014. Recent moves in global healthcare IT standards address many medical domains; however, there has been little attempt to provide interoperability in transport medicine. We present an Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profile for Transport Medicine, to facilitate interoperability between various healthcare facilities and the transport environment utilizing distributed computing technologies such as SOAP envelopes for ebXML over mobile networks.
