Abstract: As part of the modernization of the national Haiti health information ecosystem, an HL7 FHIR-based lab order communication workflow was implemented between iSantePlus (OpenMRS), an open-source EHR, and OpenELIS, an open-source laboratory information system. The effort was documented by creating relevant FHIR profiles and publishing them as part of FHIR implementation guide for lab order communication inLow-to-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: As an emerging standard, the use of FHIR for communication between systems has great potential to rapidly advance architectures and health programs in LMIC. Attendees can use the Haiti FHIR-based lab order communication pattern presented, the accompanying FHIR implementation guide for LMIC, and example code to inform the implementation of interoperability between systems involved in lab orders in LMIC contexts using current and emerging FHIR standards.
