This white paper is targeted specifically at SOA practitioners who want to take advantage of the IHE profiles in their implementations. It expands SOA in the healthcare domain with IHE's concrete approach to interoperability. It establishes terminology for comparing SOA and IHE approaches, and illustrates the use of IHE profiles in a hypothetical SOA design. The focus of the paper is to illustrate how IHE profiles can be leveraged in a SOA design; and to explore the issues, challenges and benefits of a closer alignment of the IHE Technical Framework with SOA approaches in the future. It uses realistic examples to provide practical use cases for IHE-based interoperability in an SOA.

Main sections:

- Introduction

- Comparing the approaches

- Service modelling by example

- Further issues for exploration

- Conclusion
