Great Plains Interoperability Conference 2021
Technology Advancing Health Care in the Great Plains.
May 11-12, 2021
Mission Statement: The Great Plains Interoperability Conference brings together regional providers, researchers, and technologists to improve healthcare by accelerating advanced healthcare data interoperability. This first gathering of regional stakeholders leading the process and technology of regional health information exchange will explore opportunities, technologies, and obstacles involved in the rapidly expanding interconnectedness of health data. CyncHealth (formerly known as NEHII) leads the way as Nebraska’s health information exchange. CyncHealth, and their research arm, the Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative, build on the technology provided by InterSystems to deploy the regional infrastructure for healthcare data sharing. The event is co-sponsored by the Great Plains IDeA Clinical and Translational Research Network (GP IDeA-CTR), the University of Nebraska Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program, and Logica; the international consortium focused on developing standards to support interoperability.
