Path to Production: Advancing Interoperability for Emergency Medicine Services
IHE USA's Path to Production is a use case-focused series of digital events to support healthcare-focused organizations at all levels of maturity. Learn more about key interoperability challenges and how to deploy interoperability using existing and emerging HL7 and IHE standards and profiles.
This free-to-attend digital series with on-demand interoperability educational content provides a space for community building and knowledge transfer, a forum for collective problem solving, and guidance on effectively deploying real-world digital health solutions.
IHE USA (powered by HIMSS) and NEMSIS (powered by NHTSA’s Office of EMS) are partnering to advance interoperability for EMS Systems to better support First Responders, Emergency Medicine Services, and Disaster Response. The EMS community can advance interoperability by leveraging existing interoperability standards, regulatory building blocks, and health IT infrastructure which will accelerate the modernization of EMS systems and improved interoperability to inform analytics, business intelligence and improved patient health outcomes.
