Welcome to the OpenHIE Facility Registry Community!
The OpenHIE Facility Registry (OHIE-FR) Community supports a the development and implementation of technologies to create for health facility registries. A facility registry is based upon country requirements for facility data and then serves as the central authority to uniquely identify locations where health services are administered within a country.
The OHIE-FR community includes two main areas of activity:
OHIE-FR Community Meetings
OHIE-FR Technical Meeting: Organizes and supports a group technically focused group of experts to work on issues regarding open APIs, HIE architecture, and standards. These meetings have been key in the creation of the open source FRED-API, which is intended to facilitate integrations between a facility registry and other eHealth systems. This group is open to all and meets twice a month. Details to connect, minutes, and recordings can be found here: OHIE-FR Meetings
OHIE-FR Implementers Meeting: We are also actively organizing facility registry implementers to discuss issues, best practices, and strategies for the creation and use of a facility registry. Details on topics and upcoming meetings will be announced in the near future.
Implementation Support
The OHIE Facility registry community also supports a growing number of implementations of national facility registries. (E.g., Tanzania and Rwanda). To support future countries we also are drafting a Prescriptive Implementation Guide to detail a requirements based approach of implementing a facility registry. Details regarding ongoing projects can be found here: Implementation Projects. This includes the design and creation of a Master Facility List (MFL), or standardized data detailing health facilities and facility registries, the tool that acts as the authority to collect, manage, store, and share facility data.
OHIE-FR aims to engage FR architects, implementers, and most importantly those who use, maintain or have and need for FRs in their countries. Collectively, the community will help:
- identify, establish, and share guidelines for FR architecture
- support those seeking guidance on implementation of FRs
- serve as a platform to share lessons learned, through the showcasing of country level FR implementations
