Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, Inc. (HIMSS) is a global advisor, thought leader and member association committed to transforming the health ecosystem. CDISC has collaborated with IHE to develop nine IHE integration profiles for clinical research. Organizations that use these standards can eliminate the need for cumbersome, research-related verification steps and redundant data entry, improving data quality and trustworthiness.
HIMSS encourages using CDISC standards and EHR data for clinical research; CDISC supports HIMSS strategic initiatives for advancing interoperability standards to achieve health IT integration. The two organizations develop and disseminate information and standards documentation on the role of IHE profiles and CDISC standards in advancing clinical research.
