The OpenHIE Shared Health Record Community (OHIE-SHR) aims to enable the collection and storage of electronic health information about individual patients in a centralised repository which is capable of being shared across different healthcare settings. We provide a forum for discussion and knowledge sharing. 

We envision a world where systems for integrating, storing, sharing and managing complex clinical data are made less complex through collaborative communities and open software.

Our mission is to nurture, grow and sustain an open community of practice to discuss, document and design a shared health record as well as develop a reference software application that enables:

• Storage of normalized data from disparate systems to eliminate redundancies and ensure data integrity;
• Integrated storage of a longitudinal, person-centric electronic health record ;
• Sharing of that data among disparate systems in order to support improved care delivery;
• Improved access to good quality information for reporting and decision-making purposes
