In today's healthcare enterprises, data from many sources are needed to make optimal healthcare decisions. Therefore, the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) concept emerged to solve the interoperability problems by collaborative professional organizations representing both buyers and vendors. The goal of this work is to model and analyze the IHE-scheduled workflow integration profile in order to facilitate the adoption of the IHE concepts. This is achieved by creating the 3-layer model of this integration profile utilizing the 3LGM2 tool. The created model has been able to provide support for structured and comprehensive analysis of the scheduled workflow integration profile in all its aspects: processes, information, applications and organization.
