IHE Quality, Research and Public Health Technical Framework Supplement – Retrieve Process for Execution (RPE)

This supplementary resource provides a profile for collaborative workflow or collaborative process management involving 3 main actors: the manager of process definitions, the manager of runtime processes and the performer of process activities. It supports processes from domains involving collaborative workflows such as clinical research, quality, public health and patient care support. The profile defines the transport mechanism for process definitions but does not provide the definitions per se. Additional profiles that define specific processes will complement this profile and bring the process automation capability to completion. One of these profiles is the Clinical Research Process Content (CRPC) Profile.
