4. Open Library of HIE • The Open Library of HIE (OLHIE) is an online ecosystem that will allow “Authors” of HIE-related assets to share their work and provide “Readers” with real-world resources to inform their work. • Interfaces: requirements, work-flow, templates, datasets, technical and user documentation • Policies, tool-kits, and forms • Model RFP and Contract language to encourage/require federal/state funded assets be contributed to the library • Other source code for connecting EHRs, labs, pharmacies, and public health agencies

5. OLHIE’s Goals • Promote reuse, cooperation, and learning in order to reduce the cost of building and operating HIE. • Create a web application that allows readers to search, categorize, “like”, review, and create their own bookshelves that can be shared with other readers and inform authors. • Streamlined workflow for authors to publish, version, make private, and remove assets.

6. Guiding Principles • Accelerate connections between Health Information Exchanges (HIE). • Facilitate the reuse of HIE interfaces, and other assets, especially those developed with federal or state funding. • Reduce cost of interoperability • Increase the potential for interoperability • Promote community learning
