Thanks to Lynne for preparing and presenting the annual report of IHE Canada to the Board of IHE International. The IHE link to the GoogleDoc is here, and hopefully you all have access to it. If not, I will need some help (from our forum admins) to get the document uploaded to InfoCentral so that our community can read it... it's a great summary.

One point I'd like to make. The report is written by Infoway, who as you all know acts as the IHE Canada deployment committee on our behalf. However, the content of the report is very limited to an Infoway perspective, and IMHO this does not represent the full picture of IHE activity in Canada. To be specific, references to the four very large provincial deployments of IHE infrastructure to support Diagnostic Imaging (and other documents) repositories (BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec) were not listed. This is significant activity that really needs to be shared amongst our community, and communicated beyond Canada... but it falls outside of Infoway's immediate priorities of Clinical Interoperability initiatives.

This is a call to action to mobilize our IHE community to talk about your initiatives as part of this collaboration. IHE International needs to know about these (we document "success stories"), so please consider writing up a description and submitting to ihe.net... there is an excellent online template there for you to use. And Lynne needs to know about these initiatives as well, so she can include them in her annual reports.
