What is OpenHIE?
OpenHIE (Open Health Information Exchange) is an open, standards-based architectural framework that provides a blueprint for building health information exchanges. It defines a set of interoperable components and workflows that enable health data to flow between systems in a consistent, scalable way.
Core Components
- Interoperability Layer (IOL) for routing and transforming messages between systems
- Client Registry for managing unique patient identities across facilities
- Facility Registry for maintaining a master list of healthcare locations
- Health Worker Registry for tracking healthcare provider credentials
- Terminology Service for standardizing clinical codes and vocabularies
- Shared Health Record for storing longitudinal patient data
How Kaldor Uses OpenHIE
Our platforms are architected around OpenHIE reference patterns. This ensures that our health information exchanges are modular, vendor-neutral, and built for long-term scalability. By following the OpenHIE framework, we deliver systems that can grow from regional pilots to full national infrastructure without architectural rewrites.
