What is the eHealth Leadership Forum?
The eHealth Leadership Forum is a peer learning group for countries dealing with similar issues related to building and operationalizing eHealth strategies.
As the African EHLF works with countries interested in health data architectures, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting many country eHealth leaders, such as yourself. Your work is challenging on many levels, as you try to build and operationalize eHealth strategies, while coordinating the work of governments, donors, implementers, and other interested parties. All while simultaneously trying to align this work with the goals of health leadership within the country! We recognize how hard this work is, and on behalf of the OpenHIE community, we are committed to helping you succeed.
Many country-level eHealth leaders would love to learn how their peers in other countries are dealing with similar issues. More importantly, they want to learn from each other’s successes and challenges. While you might already have some of these peer relationships, there really isn’t an easy place to interact with everyone. Fortunately, the OpenHIE Steering Committee has made similar observations. We seek to launch a peer-learning forum, supported by the OpenHIE secretariat. Based upon Forum member interest, we can host events, invite relevant experts to activities, and bring relevant content (ie, Digital Governance principles, Informatics-savvy Health Organization [ISHO] framework) to help you all work effectively with one another!
