The Regenstrief Global Health Informatics (GHI) program is a specialized cadre of researchers, subject-matter experts and technology practitioners from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We are committed to advancing global health equity by architecting ecosystems rooted in standards-based, architected, and artificial intelligence approaches. Our team does not merely implement technology; we leverage deep informatics expertise to ensure that digital health solutions are seamlessly integrated into clinical workflows and public health surveillance to drive measurable health outcomes.
Through our “Informatics-as-a-Service” model, we provide on-demand strategic capacity to partners in low- and middle-income countries, grounded in a philosophy of solidarity and moving beyond traditional vendor-client relationships to work as a unified force with those in resource-constrained environments. By combining sophisticated health information technology (HIT) subject-matter expertise with pragmatic project management, we help worldwide colleagues operationalize strategies and open technologies such as HL7 FHIR-based architectures designed to thrive within local constraints.
Our strategy for change is rooted in the belief that digital transformation must be enduring. By contributing to “trailblazer” implementation projects and engaging people on the ground directly, we build local capacity that survives the project lifecycle. We are dedicated to the sustained elimination of global health disparities through solutions that are built, maintained, and evolved by the communities they serve.
We provide technical weight and strategic oversight to align HIT investments with national health priorities, ensuring that systems are built to scale and endure.
True sustainability is achieved by empowering local teams to master the digital landscape. We move organizations from basic data management to informatics leadership through rigorous competency development.
We focus on the “how” of implementation, providing technical design and oversight to build interoperable, scalable, and secure health information exchanges (HIE).
Accurate semantic interoperability is the cornerstone of data-driven health. We provide specialized capabilities to transform narrative clinical intent into computable, actionable resources.
We facilitate HIT “Communities of Practice,” turning isolated implementation projects into collaborative movements that foster knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer support.
To reduce health disparities for resource constrained communities through health information technologies.
A world where health information technology directly contributes to the sustained elimination of global health disparities.
Community
We collaborate across the globe, cultivating a robust ecosystem of cross-disciplinary experts capable of tackling multi-faceted health challenges.
Openness
Transparency and sharing are our guiding principles. By making knowledge and tools available to all, we accelerate global innovation by reducing barriers to entry.
Humility
The mindset that those we serve are our teachers ensures that technical architectures are grounded in the practical, clinical realities of the point-of-care.
Sustainability
Our stakeholders build local capacity as they develop and implement health information systems, ensuring long-term viability and reducing dependence on external aid.
Empowerment
Working with innovators from underserved communities shifts the power dynamic, enabling local leaders to drive their own digital transformation.
The mission of OpenMRS is to improve health care delivery in resource-constrained environments by coordinating a global community that creates a robust, scalable, user-driven, open source medical record system platform. Most deployments are run by independent groups who carry out the work on the ground with technical support and training provided by the collective OpenMRS community of contributors and implementers around the world.
The OpenMRS community has thousands of members in every part of the world. Each software release involved large numbers of these volunteers from all backgrounds.
Learn more about OpenMRS and how to get involved.The mission of the AMPATH Informatics department is to provide effective and innovative information technology services to support and drive the ongoing mission of AMPATH in Western Kenya. GHI supports this mission in four key health domains: HIV care, Primary Healthcare, Maternal and Child Health, and Chronic Disease Management. Projects include:
The mission of OpenHIE is to improve the health of the underserved through the open, collaborative development and support of country driven, large scale health information sharing architectures. OpenHIE is a community of practice made up of diverse organizations and people that are working to meet the aspirational goal of improving health through the better use of information.
Multiple countries have begun to leverage or explore OpenHIE’s approaches, reference technologies, and community processes to support their real world use cases.
