Canada, Jordan, Tanzania, and Southeast Asia Client Registry Uganda Impact Stories: Open Enterprise Master Patient Index (OpenEMPI) is an open source implementation of an Enterprise Master Patient (EMPI) which is a repository that maintains a registry of all patients across an enterprise. An EMPI provides many benefits including: Client Registry Shared Health Record April 8, 2015 The Global Healthsites Mapping Project is building a global commons of health facility data by making OpenStreetMap useful to the medical community and humanitarian sector. This open data approach invites organizations to share health facility data and collaborate to establish an accessible global baseline of health facility data. The project supports individual facility updates and publishes national lists of downloadable health facility data in accessible formats (GEOJSON CSV SHP). The API allows regional analysis and publishes a signature domain and service domain for each facility. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Global_Healthsites_Mapping_Project Global / Every Continent 898888 healthsites Global Open Facility Registry (GOFR) GOFR is a comprehensive FHIR-compliant platform for managing MFLs and other lists of facilities. It also provides a powerful reconciliation tool to de-duplicate and reconcile. GOFR can pull facility data from multiple data sources and is interoperable with DHIS2, iHRIS, and any FHIR server. It speeds up and improves the accuracy of developing and maintaining canonical lists of facilities for information systems and applications. Facility Registry Health Management Information Systems Facility Registry Health Worker Registry Location and time are dimensions that bind information together. GeoPrism Registry uses semantic technologies to enable data and information from multiple organizations to be properly contextualized in both space and time to support geographically based planning, decision making, cooperation and coordination among agencies of federal governments, local governments, non-profits, and the private sector. Collaboration across sectors is needed to promote public health, economic development, environmental protection, flood zone research, disaster recovery, education, agriculture, infrastructure, and other public and private services. Laos, Mozambique, USA Open Source Human Resource Infomation System (iHRIS) is an open-source software that supplies health-sector leaders with information to track, manage, and plan the health workforce. iHRIS captures high-quality data on health worker numbers, skills, qualifications, locations, and more. Docker: OpenInfoMan is XQuery and RESTXQ based implementation of the Care Services Discovery (CSD) profile from IHE which implements the following actors and transactions: OpenInfoMan has been developed as part of OpenHIE and is intended to be the engine behind the CSD compliant Health Worker Registry and to be incorporated in OpenHIM. The OpenFn Integration Toolkit is a suite of open-source technologies that are used to integrate systems and automate business processes, enabling interoperability and secure workflow automation. From simple audit-trail generation to complex, multi-step workflows, OpenFn can orchestrate, automate, and translate communications between any and all information systems in a federated health information systems architecture. OpenFn is a recognized Digital Public Good and Digital Health Global Good. OpenFn/Lightning is a the latest extension to the OpenFn DPG–a fully open source workflow automation platform. Currently in alpha and to be released in Q4 2022) Lightning provides a secure, user-friendly, and fully open-source web application to build, run and monitor/audit workflows all in one place. It is designed for governments or NGOs who need a flexible solution which enables them to integrate and connect any system and comes with fully-fledged user management and auditing capabilities. Lightning relies on the same tried-and-trusted core technology as the OpenFn Toolkit and iPaaS (in use since 2014) and comes with an improved, visual interface for building integrations. It is also compatible with OpenFn's 60+ adaptors, which are open-source modules for connecting with any REST API, databases, and commonly used apps in public health (incl. CommCare, DHIS2, and more). N.B. OpenFn.org also provides an enterprise integration platform-as-as-service (with a free tier) for users that do not have the in-house devops and IT-security capacity to self-host. Implementations are portable, and can be shifted between SaaS and open source variants at any time.

Open Concept Lab OCL Terminology Service GitHub Repository OpenLMIS is a powerful, open source, cloud-based electronic logistics management information system (LMIS) purpose-built to manage health commodity supply chains Library to Create Synthetic Personal Demographic data The Duplicate generator is a libray to create synthetic personal demographic data such as given name, surname, date of birth and sex and introduce duplicates of those records with errors. Those data can be used to test or evaluate record linkage and deduplication algorithm. This project is a fork and an udpated version of the Freely Extensible Biomedical Record Linkage (FEBRL) dataset generator developed by Agus Pudjijono and Peter Christen in December 2008. For more detailed description please consult the website of the AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY(ANU) Department of Computer Science or see the paper: Accurate Synthetic Generation of Realistic Personal Information. In this version we upgraded the initial code to python 3.6 , added pandas, argparse and numpy, decoupled the configuration from the code and re-designed the library api to make it easy and simple to generate a customizable synthetic duplicate personal dataset.

Client Registry Website SanteMPI SantéMPI is a proven, next-generation, fully featured Master Patient Index/Client Registry (MPI/CR) platform designed to overcome barriers to leveraging person-centered data as a catalyst for transforming health systems. It is an essential national digital health infrastructure component that leverages unique identity to facilitate data consolidation, harmonization, sharing, and building health information exchanges (e.g., OpenHIE) to establish interoperability across multiple software solutions. It’s flexible architecture and online/offline capability also supports large scale registration programs such as COVID-19 vaccination registration, and birth and death updates to a CRVS. SantéMPI fulfills these essential roles by implementing all relevant interoperability specifications and requirements related to Client Registry in the OpenHIE specification, including Client Registry as a service, HL7 FHIR, and widely deployed legacy standards like HL7v2. SantéMPI is a PATH Digital Square MPI “global good”, that helps create and liberate the power of high-fidelity data to maximize return on investment for both existing and future digital health solutions. SanteMPI Video: What is a Master Person Index and what are its benefits Open Client Registry (OpenCR) is an open source and standards-based client registry. Client registries use sophisticated record linkage processes to uniquely identify patients across multiple health information systems in facilities, pharmacies, lab systems, and elsewhere. As a critical component of an interoperable health information exchange (HIE), it allows patients to be tracked across facilities and decreases instances of duplicate and incomplete records, as well as interruptions in treatment. It is a necessary tool in public health to help manage patient safety and care coordination, monitoring, reporting, surveillance, and medical research.

Hi , I would like to know about SHR reference tool , when to expect for the update?
Jennifer E Shivers
Hello. The SHR calls are combined with the IOL calls noted here: Interoperability Layer Subcommunity Calls. The community is working with stakeholders to determine how HAPI FHIR might be able to help support the SHR functions. I recommend sharing your needs with the sub community and/ or me and we can move forward from there. Jennifer
