Posted on behalf of eHealth Ontario.

In just over 2 weeks, the agency will be celebrating “Worlds Standards Day – October 14” and this year is shaping up to be another spectacular event! The eHealth Standards Program is very excited, for the fifth year, to be hosting an event on behalf of the agency to highlight our standards-based solutions and achievements to our stakeholders in the agency and across the province.

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) along with the IEC and ITU, has set this year’s theme as “Standards – the world’s common language” and we’ve invited an excellent panel of presenters to highlight the role ‘common standards’ play in their workplace.
Webcast participants will:

• Learn how standards ensure a common language and enable interoperable solutions and integration in the EHR for Ontarians
• Learn about the ConnectingOntario CDR Input Specification, and how community care and HRM content is supported through the clinical data repository
• Learn how the EHR Connectivity Strategy enables systems to achieve semantic interoperability and allows information to flow from one system to another
Here’s our agenda:
