What are OpenHIE Workflows (data exchanges)?

OpenHIE workflows are the technical data exchange patterns for exchanging health data between one or more of the OpenHIE Architecture & Standards components.  The OpenHIE workflows have been vetted and agreed upon by the OpenHIE Architecture Review Board Deliverables, Members, and Responsibilities.  


How can I have my project's workflows included in OpenHIE?  

Please notify anyone of the OpenHIE Architecture Review Board Deliverables, Members, and Responsibilities if you have a data exchange need that is not met with the current OHIE workflows or to suggest or propose a new workflow.
