The template and technolgy used for creating Clinical Data Definitions has been kept as simple as possible to ensure all members of the healthcare community can contribute content to WikiHIT. WikiHIT intends to provide the most comprehensive, insightful and up-to-date information on Clinical Data Definitions. Community input is encouraged for the definition of any number of Clinical Data Definitions, thus providing a comprehensive library of Clinical Data Definitions as a freely available resource to the community.

As the work undertaken on WikiHIT is harmonized with relevent healthcare standards, WikiHIT enables and supports widespread interoperability among healthcare software applications. The coordinated development of open source electronic health record Clinical Data Definitions will actively advance the adoption of electronic health records around the world. WikiHIT is instrumental in this by fostering the development of a standard process for capturing expert knowledge and transforming clinical data sets into open source Clinical Data Defintions to support automatic coding evaluation.

WikiHIT was launched on 12 December 2006.

The informing vision of the Tolven founders is to develop the most innovative health informatics and service delivery solutions, with global applicability. Tolven accomplishes this goal by leveraging the affordable nature and quality of open source software development to provide high quality - low cost secure electronic health record solutions for consumers and clinicians alike.

The open standards and open source business model that Tolven has adopted facilitate rapid collaborations with other open source developers working in the healthcare and life science marketplaces. These collaborations will accelerate the vitally necessary integration of healthcare and life science solutions available in the global marketplace.

The contribution made to WikiHIT will be implemented on the Tolven open source platform and applications. With community support Tolven solutions will:

* Radically reduce the cost of adoption of healthcare information technology

* Accelerate the adoption of healthcare information standards

* Improve the quality and safety of healthcare delivery
