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

 The OHIE-FR community includes two main areas of activity:  

1) OHIE-FR Community Meetings

OHIE-FR Technical Meeting: The community organizes and supports a group of technical experts to work on issues regarding open APIs, HIE architecture, facility registry tools, 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 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 support future countries we also are drafting a Prescriptive Implementation Guide to detail a requirements based approach of implementing a facility registry. To learn more about implementing a facility registry, please see the OHIE Facility Registry Implementation Guide.  Details regarding ongoing projects can be found here: Implementation Projects.
