IHE Germany
IHE-Deutschland (IHE-D) is a registered association in Germany ("eingetragener Verein" - e.V.) made up of both individual and corporate members.
Caretakers are appointed for the domains of ITI, Cardiology, Laboratory and Radiology, which are the key areas of interest for members. In addition to leading work in their respective domains, caretakers coordinate with other working groups as required.
There is strong interest in the Radiology domain among IHE-D members and special attention is currently being given to the laboratory domain. There is a particular interest in the development work of IHE Pharmacy and proposals for new development activities in IHE ITI, originating from German projects to implement electronic health records.
A number of German projects related to the creation of electronic records is considering the inclusion of elements from the XDS family. IHE-D has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the German HL-7 Group regarding mutual cooperation.

A group on the integration of medical devices and IT has recently been set up
