S23M Healthcare Solutions has launched the not-for-profit Aotearoa NZ Interoperability Lab (ANZIL) and had an establishment meeting with our founding members in March. ANZIL is the Aotearoa NZ partner to the Asia eHealth Information Network (AeHIN) Community of Interoperability Labs (COIL) around Asia and the Middle East. The COIL Labs seek to facilitate health information systems interoperability, based on standards, with a heavy focus on FHIR (R), and the International Patient Summary (IPS), as well as SNOMED CT, especially the free SNOMED subset available to low income countries that supports codes for use in IPS Resources.
We cordially invite you to become a member of ANZIL - starting with just $50 for curious individuals, and then a tiered memership fee for organisations of different sizes. Membership information and applications are here.
If you join us in the next few weeks you can attend for free our first Annual Creative Collaboration event running between 16 May and 20 May 2022, which is held in the Open Space format – adapted for online. The overarching theme of the event is “What do the ANZIL members wish to achieve during the first year”.
The event will have guests from AeHIN and on-the-ground health consumers in underserved communities, as well as vendors, standards authors and others. The workshop includes a 2-hour interactive kick-off, as well as a week of asynchronous online collaboration on the topics submitted by our members. The workshop will conclude with a 30-minute presentation of results and a 30-minute closing roundtable to coordinate agreed follow-up activities. The topics to be discussed, and where you choose to learn or contribute knowledge is your choice!
We hope you can join us!
regards,
Keith Duddy on behalf of the ANZIL team
