The APHL Interoperability Forum is a quarterly webinar series designed to spotlight the latest innovations and techniques that public health laboratories are implementing across the country. Each session brings together approximately 150 informatics professionals in an informal yet engaging environment where real-world solutions take center stage.
What to Expect
The forum provides a platform for public health laboratories doing innovative work to share their stories, demonstrate new approaches, and discuss lessons learned. Topics range from laboratory information management systems (LIMS) implementation and migration to electronic data exchange solutions and emerging informatics technologies. In this community-driven forum, featured laboratories present demos, case studies, and practical insights that other laboratories can explore and potentially adapt to their own environments.
Who Should Attend
While open to anyone interested in public health laboratory informatics, the forum is specifically designed for:
Informatics staff within public health laboratories
Laboratory information system coordinators and managers
Public health laboratory directors exploring modernization initiatives
IT professionals working with public health laboratory systems
Why Participate
Whether you're seeking solutions to common challenges, looking to learn from peers, or interested in showcasing your laboratory's innovative work, the Interoperability Forum offers a collaborative space to advance interoperability and informatics capabilities across the public health laboratory community.
