2024 OpenHIE Community Meeting November 12-16 in Sri Lanka

OpenHIE, a global initiative focused on supporting the use of data exchange standards and the implementation of health system interoperability to improve healthcare in low-resource environments, has scheduled its annual community meeting for November 12-16 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

To register, visit: 2024 OpenHIE Community Meeting. Registration ends October 20.

The annual event, organized and managed by an international team of professionals, including this year’s hosts the Ministry of Health Sri Lanka and the Sri Lanka College of Health Informatics, brings together global health professionals to foster connections and share experiences in the effort to build digital ecosystems that support secure and accurate information storage and exchange.

Participants are invited to discuss their successes and challenges in implementing effective national and regional health information exchanges (HIEs). Representatives from the host country, Sri Lanka, will detail their work on operationalizing interoperability.

Other meeting highlights include:

  • OpenHIE Architecture Summit with a focus on imaging
  • Networking opportunities for eHealth leaders
  • Connect-a-thon on international patient summaries
  • Technical marketplace
  • Academy Live learning session focused on standards as well as FHIR® and implementation guide development
  • Virtual site visit

OpenHIE, short for Open Health Information Exchange, is a global community of practice dedicated to building an open framework that supports nations in developing country-driven, large-scale HIEs. Its primary goal is to support countries as they strive to improve health outcomes in regions with limited resources through better data sharing. Members of the community work jointly with real-world users to resolve data communication and exchange problems. Many countries leverage OpenHIE’s approaches and reference its technologies and community processes as part of their digital health strategies.

Regenstrief Institute research scientists and staff collaborate with international community members to facilitate strategic community leadership through collaborative practices to strengthen the work of community members and play a critical role in the annual conference. Meeting attendees typically include government officials from various countries, HIE project implementers and technology developers, among many other stakeholders.
