What is OpenHIE?

Open Health Information Exchange (OpenHIE) is a community of government officials, tech developers, and implementers working in digital health information systems. This community supports and improves upon the OpenHIE Architecture - our conceptual approach to the exchange of health information - through open and collaborative practices.

How can I participate in OpenHIE?

It is the members of the OpenHIE community who work in any capacity to implement the solutions and report back on their approach and experience. This information is then distilled to others who are looking to implement and the cycle continues to set-up structures that can be customized for unique environments.

This community is open - so all who are interested in joining, sharing, or learning from others are welcome and can do so in our many different Open & Collaborative activities and practices.

I’ve been working in HIE. How do I share my experience and best practices with the community? 

Welcome to OpenHIE and we welcome and encourage you to start sharing! 

There are many activities that you can share your experience through:

  • Create an Academy course
  • Share use cases for the Architecture Specification
  • Share what you’ve been working on for an Impact Story
  • Help translate our documentation so we can reach more of the global community!
