CONNECT is a health informatics "software solution that organizations can use to securely link their existing health IT systems into the health information exchanges."[2]
Product history
In June 2007, CONNECT initiative lead Dave Riley was brought in by the The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to bring the Federal agencies together to be able to formulate a strategy for how the Feds would be connecting to the NHIN"[3][4] (The Nationwide Health Information Network). Between June and October of that year, Riley and the Federal agencies worked out a strategy that would include a Federal NHIN consortium that would operate under shared governance and development with non-shared implementations in each agency. In addition, they would create Federal nationwide health information exchange (NHIE) solutions. On October 12, 2007, Riley and the agencies met with the National Coordinator and ultimately agreed to pool money together to fund development of the software initiative.[3][4][5] Thus in October development on CONNECT began.[1]
In April 2009, overseer Federal Health Architecture (FHA) made the decision to open the source code of the CONNECT software to the public and develop infrastructure for the community, beginning with making available to the code to version 2.0.[1] A GitHub project was set up and the first commits were made in July of the same year.[6] A wiki was started the following month.[7] As participation increased, the FHA began holding Code-A-Thons and participating in demonstrations at HIMSS' (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) annual conference and exhibition.[1]
By August 2012, a new change was underway for CONNECT, one driven by the FHA and ONC to transition development to one of full open source community engagement.[8] The February 11, 2013 release of CONNECT 4.0 was in theory suppose to mark the end of that transition[8][9]; however, as of February 2014, that transition was still being planned.[10]
In September 2019, the following message appeared on the CONNECT Wiki[11]:
The Federal Health Architecture (FHA) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health It (ONC) are ending support for the CONNECT open source software project in September 2019. As part of ending the support for CONNECT, the FHA and ONC will no longer maintain or update the CONNECT Wiki after September 6, 2019 at 5:00 PM EDT. As an open source project, the CONNECT software code and community resources, including this Wiki, can be used, adopted and implemented by any interested organization, but the government will no longer be involved and therefore will not endorse or verify the quality of the resources previously managed by the CONNECT Community under FHA’s guidance.
By mid-September 2019, CGI Federal, Inc. announced it would continue to support CONNECT.[12]
