Projects

Major collaborative, open source health IT software development projects focused on creating innovative new systems and technologies.

See the following -

HapMap Project

The International HapMap Project is a multi-country effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences in human beings. Using the information in the HapMap, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. The Project is a collaboration among scientists and funding agencies from Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Nigeria, and the U.S.  All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain.

hData is a free and open source health IT standards project that provides specification for exchanging electronic health data.  Read More »

Health Alert Network (HAN)

The CDC Health Alert Network (HAN) provides Health Alerts, Health Advisories, Updates, and Info Service Messages to State and Local Health Officers, Public Information Officers, Epidemiologists and HAN Coordinators as well as health care provider organizations. Read More »

Health System Measurement Project

The Health System Measurement Project brings together trend data on a limited set of key health system measures from multiple trusted 'open' data sources to provide a picture of the status of the U.S. health system. Read More »

Healthcare Cost & Utilization Project (HCUP)

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) is a growing family of health care databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).  HCUP includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the U.S. Read More »

HFOSS Project(s)

The Humanitarian FOSS project builds free and open source software that benefits the community, whether it be by contributing to international humanitarian FOSS efforts, such as Sahana, or by developing FOSS solutions that benefit local or regional non-profits organizations. Read More »

HINARI Programme

The HINARI Project was started back in 2002 by the World Health Organization (WHO) together with major publishing houses. Today, the HINARI Programme provides free or very low cost online access to the major journals in biomedical and related social sciences to local, not-for-profit institutions in developing countries.

HINGX Project

HingX is a community-driven information sharing platform that brings together reusable tools, guidelines, use cases, and more related to health information technology (IT). In addition to its social Community features, HingX can be used to search for and acquire valuable information, policy reviews, software architecture, and extensive reports on health IT solutions around the world.

HuGENet

The CDC Office of Public Health Genomics established the Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet) to help translate genetic research findings into opportunities for preventive medicine and public health by advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of population-based data on human genetic variation in health and disease.

Human Connectome Project (HCP)

Mapping of the human connectome offers a unique opportunity to understand the complete details of neural connectivity. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a project to construct a map of the complete structural and functional neural connections in vivo within and across individuals. Read More »

Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project is a publicly financed international research effort whose goal is to decipher the human genetic code and to provide this data freely and rapidly to the public. Read More »

Immunization Calculation Engine (ICE)

The Immunization Calculation Engine (ICE) is a state-of-the-art open-source software system that provides clinical decision support for immunizations (CDSi), commonly referred to as “immunization forecasting.” ICE has two major components: The ICE Web Service evaluates a patient’s immunization history and generates the appropriate immunization recommendations for the patient. The Clinical Decision Support Administration Tool (CAT) is a web-based GUI tool that enables subject matter experts to manage ICE rules and configuration without the intervention of software developers.

Infoasaid.Org

The overall goal of the Infoasaid organization and project is to improve the quality of humanitarian responses by maximising the amount of accurate and timely information available to both humanitarian responders and crisis-affected populations through enhanced information exchange between them in an emergency. The project has two main objectives: Read More »

Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE)

Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) is an initiative by healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. IHE promotes the coordinated use of established standards such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical need in support of optimal patient care. Read More »

International HapMap Project

The International HapMap Project is a partnership of scientists and funding agencies from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States to develop a public resource that will help researchers find genes associated with human disease and response to pharmaceuticals.
