The OSEHRA IWG membership consists of key health IT leaders, visionaries and multi-disciplinary experts in the fields of interoperability, standards, academia and research. OSEHRA has asked Mario Hyland, Senior Vice President and Founder of AEGIS, to Chair the new Interoperability Work Group.

“OSEHRA is pleased to be working with AEGIS.net, an industry leader in the testing of interoperability between Health Information Technology systems and Health Information Exchanges," said Seong Ki Mun, Ph.D., President and CEO, OSEHRA. “One of the objectives of OSEHRA is to promote open source best practices to facilitate the interoperability of systems across sectors, geography and organizations.”

The AEGIS DIL is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Testing as a Service (TaaS) open source testing solution for information sharing, exchange gateway, interoperability, and compatibility testing. The AEGIS DIL offers automated Test Driven Development (TDD) and Compliance Testing services against multiple exchange specifications and various levels of interoperability. Its backbone is a cloud-based infrastructure, available 24x7, consisting of over 250 reference implementations of information exchange gateways. While the DIL platform can be used for virtually any kind of information exchange testing, its current configuration focuses on healthcare. To that end, the DIL improves the quality of care received by US citizens by helping organizations meet Meaningful Use requirements and facilitating the secure exchange of health information. AEGIS will be demonstrating advancements of the DIL with other vendors and healthcare organizations at the upcoming Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) North America Connectathon 2014 in Chicago, IL from January 27 - 31, 2014.
