Terms of Participation
The Sponsors of IHE in Europe and the national IHE European initiatives will organize and conduct a testing process culminating in
a face-to-face interoperability testing event, the Connectathon to be held April 20-24th in Vienna, Austria.
General
The purpose of the testing process and Connectathon event is to test implementation of IHE capabilities in commercially
available systems. Successful completion of the Connectathon is also a prerequisite for participation in the IHE demonstrations
in Europe.
The IHE Technical Project Managers coordinate all testing activities in the testing process and Connectathon under the supervision
of the Sponsors. The Technical Project Managers are also responsible for ensuring that all participants comply with
the terms of participation defined in this document.
The Sponsors have the responsibility for all administrative aspects of the IHE project in Europe and are the primary contact
points for all such matters.
Participants may, depending upon their previous experience, apply for Connectathon testing at two levels:
Thorough Testing: All systems and all new Profile/Actor combinations being tested for the first time shall be listed for Thorough Testing.
Systems registered for Thorough Testing will be required to complete all tests as specified by the Technical
Project Manager. Verified successful completion of tests by these systems will be published by the Sponsors in the table
of Connectathon Results.
Supportive Role Testing: Vendors applying to test systems that have been tested at previous IHE Connectathons, and for
which they have already published an IHE Integration Statement, may be listed for testing in a "Supportive Role." Systems
testing in a Supportive Role facilitate testing by corresponding systems, but are not required to complete tests and verify
test results for publication at the Connectathon. The option of testing in a Supportive Role applies only to the specific integration
profiles and actors that have been previously tested. Previously tested systems that have added new IHE capabilities
may test their established integration profile/actor combinations in a Supportive Role, while testing newly implemented
Profile/Actor combinations in Thorough Testing mode.
Participation Fees
Participation fees are proportional to the number of systems being tested and the number of IHE domains (see below) in
which these systems participate. Participation Fee is 2750 Euros for the first system, 2850 for the following ones. Domain fee is 750 Euros per domain.
A domain fee of EUR 750 will be charged per domain.
If IT-Infrastructure is a second domain for any system, no domain fee will be charged for IT-Infrastructure.
All prices (in Euros) are subject to Belgium VAT which can be reclaimed by your company
The number of company representatives at the connectathon is restricted to 2 persons per system. Additional participants
will be counted on site during the connectathon and invoiced afterwards (60 Euros per day per participant)
The technical manager has the right to assign additional domains free of charge to actors after the registration in order to enable correct
testing of profiles and if this does not result in additional preparation for the participant in question.
Domains: an IHE Domain is a specific clinical or operational area of healthcare characterized by particular information
technology needs and use cases. Each IHE Domain has its own committee structure and produces its own domain-specific
Technical Framework. A participant applying to test Actors/Integration Profiles defined in the Technical Framework for a given
IHE Domain will be considered to participate in that domain.
Participation fees are non-refundable and will be invoiced following the registration.
The IHE Review Committee, reserves the right to refuse participation to systems containing combinations of Actors it
deems to be inappropriate or not reflective of practical systems architecture. The IHE Review Committee will make this determination
in consultation with the Project Management Team. Participants may be asked to revise their applications to limit
the number and type of IHE Actors included in a single system. The IHE Review Committee is comprised of executive staff
and officers of the Sponsors.
IHE Demonstrations in Europe
Information about IHE Europe 2009 demonstrations can be obtained from the national IHE organizations.
If a system has successfully participated in a previous European connectathon and the relevant profile and national extension
has not changed since then, the National Technical Manager can admit this specific system and actor based on a specific decision
to this specific demonstration.
Participation Benefits
Testing and Connectathon: The testing process leading up to and including the Connectathon offers Participants a unique
opportunity to test IHE integration capabilities implemented in their systems and to publicize their success in implementing
these capabilities.
MESA Test Tools: MESA test tools will be made available to participants for preliminary testing in advance of the 2009
Connectathon. Access to these test tools is contingent on participation in the 2009 Connectathon testing process.
Exhibition and Promotional Effort: Each participating company will be listed in materials describing successful testing at
the 2009 Connectathon. This information will be provided to attendees of the annual meetings of each Sponsor via printed documents,
signage, multimedia presentations and the Internet.
Some of these materials will remain available throughout the 2009 calendar year (approximately) and will be distributed at
gatherings sponsored by other relevant medical professional associations.
Relevant details (as determined by the IHE Review Committee) of each company's successful participation, including all
IHE Actors and Integration profiles successfully tested, will be highlighted in these educational and promotional materials,
including the table of Connectathon Results available at www.ihe.net.
No reports of Participants' failure to complete testing will be included in these published materials.
At the Sponsors' meetings, these materials will be distributed at points of high visibility and discussed in informational
presentations.
All marketing materials of participating companies referring to IHE or incorporating IHE logos require prior review and
approval by the Sponsors.
Participant Responsibilities
The testing process and Connectathon will include the steps described below, each of which must be completed as scheduled in
order to qualify for participation in the Connectathon. There will be no refund of registration fees for Participants failing to perform
these required steps.
Participant Workshop: A workshop will be held in Vienna, Austria on Feb 2-3, 2009. The agenda will include organization of
the Connectathon testing process and the demonstration scenarios and groups of systems for the demonstrations planned in
Europe in 2009. Participants in the demonstrations are required to send a technical expert for each system registered for these
demonstrations.
DICOM Conformance Statement: Participants are required to submit a DICOM Conformance Statement for each system
that includes one or more Profile/Actors performing DICOM transactions to the IHE Technical Project Manager by March 1st,
2009. The process for submitting the documents is described on the secure page for Connectathon participants, http://
www.ihe-europe.net. While the Project Manager will not redistribute these documents, participants are free to distribute
their own documents to other participants to further facilitate cross-vendor testing.
Test logs: Participants are required to submit success logs for each Profile/Actor to be tested at the Connectathon, using the
MESA test tools provided by the Technical Project Manager, to verify that their software supports the transactions required.
These data will be generated during trials conducted by the prospective participant using the IHE Test Simulators, Test Plan
and Test Data Set to be provided by the Technical Project Managers. Additionally, Participants are required to report to the
Technical Project Mangers any problems encountered with the test tools during testing, following procedures defined by the
Technical Project Manager and posted on http://www.ihe-europe.net . For all domains, these success logs must be submitted
by March 31st, 2009.
Connectathon: Participant must send at least one qualified technical specialist to the Connectathon for each registered system
to be tested. The following additional requirements also apply:
Ship equipment to and return it from the Connectathon site at Participant's expense.
The Sponsors bear no responsibility for any damage to Participants' equipment incurred during the Connectathon or shipping
to and from the event.
All systems to be tested must be configured and operational by Monday, April 20 at 11:00 AM. At that time participants
will begin testing by sending appropriate messages to other participants systems as designated by the Technical Project
Manager.
Participants hereby agree not to disclose information learned at the Connectathon regarding other Participants' systems and
test results as outlined in the Nondisclosure Agreement below.
Participant must, prior to the conclusion of the Connectathon, successfully demonstrate interoperability with designated
partners in a number of test configurations determined by the Technical Project Managers.

Nondisclosure Agreement
The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise ("IHE") initiative has the goal of stimulating integration of information and imaging
systems used in the delivery of healthcare. IHE develops guidelines and supports a testing process and other activities to encourage the implementation of standards to enable communication among such systems.
In order to encourage the exchange of information among participants necessary to the testing process (including the Connectathon
testing event to be held April 20-24, 2009) it is important that both the Sponsors and each Participant be protected
against improper disclosure of technical or commercial information by any other Participant. Furthermore, the Connectathon
process requires participants to resolve as expediently as possible and in a spirit of cooperation any software bugs and interoperability
issues that arise during the testing process. The Participant thus agrees to keep confidential and forbear from using for
any commercial purposes any information obtained from other participants in the course of the testing process. The Participant
further agrees to respect all other Participants and their systems and equipment.
The undersigned Participant shall not be obligated to keep information secret and in confidence if it can show that such information:
Appears in printed publications distributed by the Sponsors in the public domain;
was public knowledge at the time of its receipt;
became public knowledge after its receipt without breach of this agreement by the undersigned Participant;
was rightfully disclosed to the Participant by a third party without an obligation of confidentiality;
is provably independently developed by the undersigned Participant's personnel without access to the confidential information;
is required to be disclosed pursuant to a legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or by law; or
is approved for release by the prior written authorization of all other organizations in question.
The Sponsors agree to take reasonable steps to provide a work atmosphere conducive to a successful testing process, including
discouraging the improper disclosure and use of information by Participants. In consideration of being permitted by the
Sponsors to participate in the IHE testing process, the undersigned Participant agrees to hold the Sponsors harmless from any
judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees incurred by them in connection
with the defense of any lawsuit or other claim which involves conduct of the undersigned Participant constituting a breach of
the nondisclosure and nonuse obligations described in the preceding paragraphs.
Supporting information and documents developed by the Sponsors for use within the IHE testing process, including but
not limited to specifications, test data and marketing materials are the copyrighted property of IHE and its Sponsors. In the
spirit of collaboration and in keeping with copyright law, no Participant may lay claim to the information created for the IHE
testing and demonstration process without written consent from the Sponsors. After software, technical information or documentation
is formally released into the public domain by the Sponsors in order to further the purposes of the IHE initiative, the
foregoing restrictions on disclosure or use will no longer apply to any software and/or technical information or documentation
that is so released.
For the purposes of sharing information with their membership and the public and promoting the IHE initiative, the Sponsors
intend to acquire and reproduce representative images of systems being tested by Participants at the Connectathon. Any
such images acquired may potentially be used in printed publications, Web pages and multimedia presentations promoting the
IHE initiative. Such images will not be used by the Sponsors for any other purpose.
The undersigned Participant, in consideration of being permitted by IHE Europe to participate in the IHE initiative, hereby
grants IHE Europe the absolute and irrevocable right and unrestricted permission to use, re-use, display, distribute, transmit,
publish, re-publish, copy, or otherwise exploit, either in whole or in part, either digitally, in print, or in any other medium now
or hereafter known, photograph taken of its personnel and equipment, or in which its personnel and equipment may be included;
to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same. The undersigned understands and agrees that the Sponsors
may or may not, as they choose, use the Participant's name in conjunction with the photographs taken.
The Participant also hereby releases and discharges IHE Europe and their agents, representatives, and assignees from any
and all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the use of the photographs, including without limitation any
and all claims for invasion of privacy, right of publicity, and improper disclosure of commercial information.
Finally, the undersigned Participant acknowledges and agrees that certain software and related technical information and
documentation which will eventually be released into the public domain by IHE in connection with the implementation of the
IHE initiative (the "IHE Software") will be made available on an "as is" basis and that neither IHE Europe nor any other Participant
will make the warranty about the IHE Software, its performance, its merchantability or fitness for any particular use, its
freedom from any computer diseases, or its conformity to any specification and that all risk as to the quality and performance
of the IHE Software will be with the users of the IHE Software.
