NHIN Forum to Demonstrate AHIC priorities

On December 15-16, seven American Health Information Community (AHIC) priority use cases will be demonstrated as part of the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) December forum.

This forum will showcase the work of the NHIN Cooperative, including experiences and lessons learned from the Trial Implementations, including:

• Defining specifications based upon the work of HITSP and standards development organizations to facilitate interoperable data exchange among the participants;
• Testing conformance and test interoperability against these specifications;
• Developing trust agreements among NHIN participants to support a framework of trust and to protect the information exchanged; and
• Learning from the experiences to prepare for production.
