OpenHDD was developed for the Joint Learning Network by PharmAccess, in partnership with PATH, under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. It is a health data dictionary tool designed to help move low and middle-income countries towards universal health coverage by defining vocabulary and standards for a common language. In addition it aims to promote interoperability between various information systems used. Furthermore it also facilitates the development and sharing of common data definitions between countries to improve efficiency.
Please send questions you have about selecting standards in advance of the webinar to Caren Althauser (calthauser@path.org). For more information about openHDD please read the brochure click here
