Pronoia Health and AEGIS launch Open Library HIE

Pronoia Health, a Texas-based boutique health IT firm, and AEGIS, a provider of health IT consulting services, announced the launch of Open Library of Health Information Exchange (OLHIE), an online ecosystem designed to accelerate connections to HIEs by facilitating the reuse of interfaces and other assets.

Created by Pronoia Health and hosted at the AEGIS Data Center, OLHIE allows authors of HIE-related assets to share their work and provide consumers with real-world resources to inform their work. OLHIE assets include interface code and related documents, RFPs and contract language, policies and source code created for connecting EHRs, laboratories, pharmacies, public health and other health entities with health IT infrastructure, according to an announcement.

Pronoia Health plans to use AEGIS Developers Integration Lab in testing each new or enhanced interface submission. The DIL is an Infrastructure as a Service and Testing as a Service open source testing solution.

OLHIE is an approved Charter Project by the Open Health Tools board of stewards.
