Upcoming Interoperability Showcase events, including the HIMSS 2010 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) Interoperability Showcase on March 1-3 in Atlanta, Ga.

In 2010, the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) 2010 North America Connectathon provides a detailed implementation and testing process to promote the adoption of standards-based interoperability.

Focused on electronic health record system connectivity and interoperable exchange of patient health data with standards-based systems, the IHE 2010 North America Connectathon brought together:

498 system engineers who were testing
More than 150 health IT systems
104 participating companies/organizations

At 2010 IHE North America Connectathon, held from Jan. 11-15, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago, engineers filled the hotel’s basement ballroom and exchanged information with complementary systems from multiple vendors and organizations.

HIMSS10 Interoperability Showcase: As a connectivity test-run, the IHE 2010 North America Connectathon is considered as mandatory preparation for upcoming Interoperability Showcase events, including the HIMSS 2010 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) Interoperability Showcase on March 1-3 in Atlanta, Ga. during HIMSS10. With 73 participating vendors and organizations, the HIMSS 2010 Interoperability Showcase illustrates how interoperability drives improvements in the quality, safety and efficiency of care. As in previous years, the Showcase highlights IHE's common framework and Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) Interoperability Specifications for delivering interoperability across local, regional and national health information exchanges.
