Public Health Interoperability Training Catalog Celebrates Two Years

Administered by Altarum and developed by volunteers committed to elevating the knowledge and skills of anyone and everyone working to improve public health interoperability, the Public Health Interoperability Training Catalog is a curated set of training and education resources, tools, presentations, and publications on interoperability. The resources encompass a wide variety of topics including general interoperability and standards, public health informatics, governance, data quality, and terminology.

June 2024 marks the two-year anniversary of the online catalog’s launch. Over the past two years, the catalog has attracted over 6,500 visitors – many of them repeat visitors who find the catalog to be an ongoing resource for the latest in interoperability. 

The idea for the Public Health Interoperability Training Resource Catalog was born from a small group of volunteers committed to elevating the knowledge and skills of anyone and everyone working to improve public health interoperability. This strong network of volunteers recognized the need for a single-source library of existing training resources. They collected and reviewed hundreds of resources and curated the best for today’s easily searchable catalog.

The catalog is representative of Altarum’s longstanding commitment to public health interoperability. For nearly 20 years, we have helped public health programs integrate data by developing Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) solutions, collaborating with major electronic health record (EHR) vendors, and working closely with interoperability standards organizations. We understand the complexities of incorporating patient information from multiple sources while providing the tools and functionality necessary to conduct data analysis and care coordination. 

As we celebrate this two-year milestone, we extend our thanks to partners and contributors who has been an integral part of the website’s growth.
