PHIN CoP Framework
PHIN CoPs
The PHIN Community supports a collection of CoPs that focus on specific functional and technical areas key to PHIN. These groups, called PHIN Communities of Practice, are comprised of members with interests and passion for working toward the development of new technology and best practices specific to a particular domain. Within a PHIN CoP, members learn, share, and collaborate to address a specific issue and/or project within the domain. Examples of PHIN CoPs in existence or in the process of being established include Vocabulary and Messaging and Enterprise Architecture. CoPs provide a collaborative framework, enabling PHIN members to work together to identify and leverage best practices and standards for public health, information technology, and informatics as they relate to PHIN.
Responsibilities of the PHIN CoPs include:Representing a functional or technical area key to PHIN (not an application)
Working on issues and solutions that the PHIN CoP Council has identified as priorities
Following the governance principles: participation, transparency, responsiveness, consensus orientation, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability, and rules of behavior
Evaluating the success of the CoP and participating in an overall PHIN Community evaluation on an annual basis
PHIN CoPs are encouraged to meet as frequently as necessary to fulfill these responsibilities. Attendance in person is preferred, with distant CoP members participating by teleconferencing or web conferencing.
