OSEHRA 2019 Summit

The Open Source Electronic Health Record Alliance (OSEHRA) will be holding its 8th Annual Open Source Summit from Tuesday, July 9 through Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, just north of Washington, D.C. The theme of this year's two-day Summit is "Open SaaS - Open Source in the Cloud," this year's two-day Summit will showcase leading-edge, open source initiatives and highlight the increasing level of public-private partnership in major programs and agencies. Open source software has become key to both implementation and interoperability as more and more programs opt for cloud-based solutions and software-as-a-service delivery models. This Summit will address ways to optimize open source utilization and community involvement in this new playing field.

"We are particularly pleased to have Perspecta return for a second year as our Conference Sponsor," said Seong K. Mun, President, and CEO of OSEHRA. "Perspecta, along with other returning sponsors such as DSS, Inc., are industry-leading examples of successful open source innovation and collaboration. They bring a wealth of expertise to our event, and we are looking forward to another highly collaborative and interactive conference."

The Plenary Session will feature a demonstration by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Agency (SAMHSA) of their state-of-the-art open source software package, Omnibus Care Plan (OCP). Additional sessions will feature leading-edge topics including Synthetic Patient Data, Open Source Ecosystems, Open Source APIs and Standards, Machine Learning and Analytics, Imaging and Analytics, and Innovation with VistA.
