As countries contemplate their implementation approaches to health data sharing, many are beginning to discern how the work of the health supply chain intersects with the overall health enterprise architecture. Many within the OpenHIE community see substantial synergies between supply chain workflows and OpenHIE conventions. To that end, we have created a working group that is designed to represent and codify the needs of supply chain, and directly influence overall OpenHIE conventions and standards so that they are directly supportive. This working group is comprised of individuals who are either implementation "practitioners" of supply chain infrastructure, standards-savvy professionals, and others interested in supporting this work in a substantive way.
Goals
The Supply Chain subcommunity calls will focus on building relationships between it's participants and building common language amongst them to achieve the goals described above. If you are interested in helping us with this sort of work, please feel free to propose a topic for a call on Discourse (tag Josh Zamor). Also feel free to contact openhie@gmail.com.
