What did we expect to happen?
- Hold an OHIE Community Meeting
- Hold an Architecture meeting
- Updated specifications to be published.
- Updated specification to reflect the use of FHIR
- Have developed a compliance and conformance testing
- Greater clarity around the role of software in the OHIE community

- To hear from countries expecting to practically implement HIE
- Participation on calls from our SE Asia partners
- Supply Chain and Health Insurance Communities to have workflows to leverage our architecture
- Updates to OpenHIE diagram
- The initial publication of the specification
What actually happened?
- Hosted a successful OHIE community meeting
- Published the specification which included spec reference underlying FHIR profiles including some written and completed by OHIE partners
- Hosted an Architecture F2F and it was the first F2F we’ve had since 2014. We hosted a successful F2F and learned there is a lot of demand for such meetings from the community.
- We aligned on conformance testing approach and found out our Asian colleagues have a different strategy than we do
- Invitation from Asian colleagues to participate in their thriving community
- Additional other communities tagging on to OHIE Community Meeting - openIMIS running alongside the community meeting
- Observed growth in use case working groups - a reflection of a mature view of OHIE as a long-term strategy.
- Heard countries speak in the first person about their national digital health structure approach.
- Increased focus on operationalizing OHIE.
- Organized an introductory academy for OHIE which led to increased engagement from various community members. Leads is now trying to build out an academy presence.
- Identified persons who wanted to attend the meeting but were unable to procure funding this is a future challenge.
What would we like to do differently?
- Assist MoH’s get aligned or partnered with aid organizations to make sure they get to the community meetings so they can learn and share their experiences.
- Drive towards more diversity of people present at the Academy and meeting overall
- Better equip the leads team to be able to successfully support countries who want to stand up infrastructures.
- Prepare the Leads community to be able to successfully respond to questions of standard-setting and standards reassuring within the community (i.e. Identify OHIE compliant technologies).
- Continue work on conformance testing and include “collection of illities” information while considering technical and organizational difficulties.
- Increased growth in participation from software, implementers and MoHs
- Have partners go through formal partnership process and solidify formalization around partnership and responsibilities.
- Define how to engage private sector entities.
- Update the OHIE website to be a better resource for our audience/stakeholders.
- Options around OHIE components, there are 20-25 but we don’t name those because they’re not in our community but are viable options
- Continued growth of OHIE as an organization delivering value to developing countries
- Increased investment in the community meeting including deliberate planning to bring on additional collaborators.
- Further Latin American outreach
- Make OHIE concepts accessible and simple for LMIC to utilize
- Discuss what leadership looks like for OpenHIE leadership board to be more purposefully diverse with membership (histories, objectives, etc.) to gain new outside perspectives.
