OUR GOAL
UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE
SIL-Asia supports the achievement and measurement of universal health coverage (UHC) through the use of information and communications technology (ICT).
Making healthcare systems standards-based and interoperable is critical in integrating data and information at the level of the patient, the health facility, and the whole health sector.
SIL-Asia believes that this will pave way for evidence-based decision making and thus, grounded health interventions that will contribute to good health and well-being of the citizenry.
WHO WE ARE
SIL-Asia is a health interoperability lab that provides technical and capacity-building support to countries in making their healthcare systems and applications interoperable through foundational digital health frameworks, international standards, and emerging technologies (IHE, FHIR, Blockchain, etc.)
The lab is established by the Asia eHealth Information Network, with support from the Asian Development Bank through The People’s Republic of China Poverty Reduction and Regional Cooperation Fund (PRC Fund) to help countries in Asia address their healthcare interoperability needs.
WHAT WE DO
With a dedicated team of interoperability experts and an advanced pool of technologies, SIL-Asia provides a collaborative environment for countries to design, develop, and test interoperable systems and applications in the healthcare sector to promote continuity of care.
SIL-Asia enables a space for both the public and private sectors to reproduce healthcare systems and applications. This serves as the groundwork for countries to evaluate the quality of data exchange and interaction among systems and applications before placing them in real-life settings.
VISION
To be the foremost health interoperability lab in Asia.
In particular, SIL-Asia aims to achieve three main goals:
Impactful Digital Health Investments
Investments that help facilitate better health outcomes to the people, with less cost and more efficient service delivery.
Innovative Digital Health Solutions
Solutions that are adept with emerging technologies for the use of developing member countries (DMCs) in their own health development use cases.
Interoperable Digital Health Applications
Applications that are interconnected can exchange and share health data and information with one another.
MISSION
To provide technical and capacity-building support to countries in making their healthcare systems and applications interoperable through foundational digital health frameworks, international standards, and emerging technologies. Specifically, SIL-Asia intends to fulfill its mission through its four core services:
Training
Countries can go to SIL-Asia for training and workshops on standards and interoperability
Teaming
Countries can start building their in-country interoperability lab by partnering with SIL-Asia
Tooling
Countries can use the tools developed by SIL-Asia for their digital health implementation
Testing
Countries can go to SIL-Asia to test and certify their healthcare systems for interoperability purposes
