N2  - IHE has an increasingly great importance in delivering optimal patient care. By pushing the integration of well-accepted standards in the healthcare domain, the IHE initiative improves interoperability between heterogeneous systems. This document presents in detail free / opensource implementations of several IHE Profiles participating in the architecture of a very precise yet common motivation scenario: the medical document exchange. The objective is to show that open-source applications may be successfully used in sensitive contexts such as healthcare, provided that scope and potential issues are well considered.
