Iryo network joins the OpenEHR Foundation
Iryo network became the latest industry member of the OpenEHR Foundation.
At Iryo, we believe the the best way to solve the issue of interoperability in healthcare IT is to work on open standards. In that space, OpenEHR standard for medical data recording is far ahead of the game compared to alternatives.
As explained in the blog post on open EHR, written by our advisor Mate Bestek, when talking about interoperability in healthcare, the key problem lies in how data is written in the first place. Universal interoperability could be achieved if all doctors recorded data in the same structure. This is a very generalized description of what openEHR is: an agreed set of forms for different specialties, defined by surgeons for surgery needs, cardiologists for cardiology needs, and so on. OpenEHR is not a standard for engineers but a standard for medical professionals.
The standard is currently used across Australia, Brazil, The Netherlands, Norway, The Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Sweden, and UK. Additionally, openEHR will be present in the Middle East after the deployment of the Iryo system in Lebanon in May 2018.
The openEHR Foundation is a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee, of University College London, UK. The name ‘openEHR’ has been registered internationally as a Trade Mark. One of its main legal functions is as the holder of its Intellectual Property, which it makes freely available.
Industry Partners in the alliance are the key collaborators taking openEHR forward as a comprehensive, portable and language independent EHR solution forward to support quality health software around the world.
Iryo is a Slovenia based IT company focused on improving the user experience of all stakeholders in the healthcare system. The Iryo system is using openEHR for increasing interoperability in healthcare, zero-knowledge data storage for data security and patient enforceable privacy, alongside the ZeroPass distributed private key recovery. On top of that, the company is able to build a global open-sourced permissionless protocol for healthcare solutions- that any third party can join and increase the speed of openEHR adoption.
