IHE ILW Summary

Modernisation

The current IHE ILW specification relies on HL7 v2.x, HL7 v3, and IHE XDS. Several modernization paths are available, most of which focus on adopting FHIR, updating relevant IHE profiles, and shifting from Clinical Documents (HL7 CDA and FHIR Documents) to IHE QEDm for data exchange.
