The nascent HELINA Standards and Interoperability Working Group focuses on the following activities:
Standards:
- Supporting the review and recommendation of key standards especially those relevant to HIV/AIDS and TB care
- Constituting relevant stakeholders to validate and endorse health information standards for use.
- Support the building and implementation of relevant HL7 FHIR resources
- Recommending terminology standards including aggregate data exchange (ADX) formats for use by countries
- Providing guidance on national level metadata management
- Providing supporting dissemination of materials related to standards.
Interoperability:
- Support countries to come up with national health information architectures
- Allow sharing of knowledge of health information exchange domains, exchange formats, and interoperability serviced layers
- Support organizational, semantic, syntactic and technical interoperability issues for countries
- Explore practical interoperability use-cases (such as Case-based surveillance) to help countries actualize functional HIE.
- Aggregate, organize and share existing national and interoperability architectures, related toolkits and user guides.
