World Standards Day - Thursday, October 12

Dear Colleagues,

As part of the global celebration of World Standards Day this October 12th, I'd like to invite you to join a livestream webinar that will focus on how digital health immunization standards make cities smarter. There is a FHIR angle to this, as Ontario's Digital Health Immunization Repository (DHIR) is using FHIR STU 3 resources to send and receive data.

Join us on October 12th for a special one-hour live webcast celebrating World Standards Day. Hear experts discuss how standards support the provincial immunization system that will enable individuals, health care providers, and public health professionals to have secure, real-time access to the same information – and how this makes cities smarter.
eHealth Ontario’s Peter Bascom and Sue Schneider will be joined by Karen Hay (Digital Health Solutions & Innovation Branch, Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care), and Katherine Atkinson (Research and Business Development, The Ottawa Hospital mHealth Research Team).
Highlights include:
• Ontario’s Digital Health Immunization Repository and the interoperable provincial immunization ecosystem and roadmap;
• The proposed integration of the Canadian Vaccine Catalogue with the Digital Health Immunization Repository: Includes information about the standards and implications for EMRs and other clinical systems; and
• CANImmunize and other applications available for Ontario consumers to manage their immunization records, including information about work in progress.
Continuing education credits for participating health informatics and health information management professionals are available from Certified Professionals in Healthcare Information and Management Systems - Canada (CPHIMS-CA) by COACH (Canada’s Health Informatics Association) and from the Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA).
