Enabling Digital Transformation in Healthcare:

The Building Blocks

The Connectathon Week Programming continues with a two day standards acceleration program that encourages conversation and dialogue to generate actionable progress. Day 1 of the Standards Acceleration Program provides a thorough overview of the existing building blocks that make up the foundation of national health information exchange, cybersecurity requirements, and the key projects and initiatives that will drive digital transformation across the US. Day 2 begins a dialogue around the future of health IT testing and programs supporting interoperability.

IHE USA’s Standards Acceleration Program - Two days of immersive and interactive interoperability education. Subject matter experts from IHE, HIMSS, and our collaborative partners provide an opportunity to dive into practical interoperability issues that implementers are facing today.

• How standards and profiles are developed, tested, and implemented.
• How to leverage existing health IT infrastructure and how IHE profiles support the building blocks for interoperability
• Understand how data flows the ecosystem, from document based to granular FHIR® based exchanges
• How to effectively approach cybersecurity and privacy to support interoperability
• The key national interoperability projects that will advance health exchange in the US: EMS, Maternal and Child Health Interoperability, Collecting and Accessing SDOH Data
• HIMSS community programs and solutions that help enable the interoperability ecosystem
