The OpenHIE Facility Registry (OHIE-FR) Community supports the development and implementation of technologies to implement and support country driven for health facility registries. This includes the design and creation of a Master Facility List (MFL), or standardized data detailing health facilities and facility registries, a the tool that acts as the central authority to collect, manage, store, and share facility data.  The

OHIE-FR community includes two main areas of activity:  

1) OHIE-FR Community Meetings

OHIE-FR Technical Meeting: The community organizes a group of technical experts to work on issues regarding open APIs, HIE architecture, facility registry tools, and standards.  These meetings have resulted in the open source FRED-API, 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 at: OHIE-FR Meetings.

2) Implementation Support 

The OHIE Facility Registry Community also supports a growing number of implementations of national facility registries. (e.g., Tanzania and Rwanda).  To learn about how to implement a facility registry, please see the OHIE Facility Registry Implementation Guide.

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
