The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has announced its Interoperability Proving Ground (IPG), which is an open community platform where healthcare IT professionals can share, learn, and be inspired by interoperability projects taking place across the nation.
The IPG offers the chance for IT professionals to showcase their interoperability work, connect with peers tackling interoperability issues, and make visible progress toward a future of a learning health system.
The IPG provides those involved in health interoperability with a simple way to share a succinct set of basics about a project (e.g., title, description, hyperlink to your project website) and “tag” it with any standards or keywords that may be associated with it (e.g., C-CDA, FHIR, PDMP, ADT). The data shared populate the main IPG home page so anyone can easily filter and search across the entire interoperability project database or view interoperability projects nationwide on an interactive map.
To jumpstart the IPG, the site already includes many of ONC’s interoperability-related projects and will continue to update the IPG on an ongoing basis. They will also coordinate with federal agencies to populate the IPG to represent their experience and interoperability projects.
If you lead an interoperability project, you are encouraged to add it to the IPG.
