OSEHRA Innovation Webinar on the VA's Recently Announced Lighthouse Project

On Tuesday, March 27, OSEHRA will present a special Innovation Webinar on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Lighthouse project, delivered by VA’s  Drew Myklegard. Lighthouse is a proposed Application Programming Interface (API) management platform that allows developers to create mobile and web apps on a set of open standards based APIs including an initial FHIR endpoint. Lighthouse aims to both enable rapid innovation, and be veteran-centric, by giving developers the ability to design solutions that leverage VA data.

VA launched the beta version of Lighthouse Lab during the HIMSS18 conference. According to a recent announcement, VA is looking for a “small, initial-user group to begin building a developer community. Participation in the group will include helping to test APIs, building out documentation, developing governance standards, and testing developer support workflows.”
