May 7, 2026 — The 2026 Philippines FHIR Fundamentals Training officially concluded at the Belmont Hotel Boracay after two days of lectures, workshops, and hands-on interoperability exercises aimed at strengthening digital health implementation capacity among healthcare and health information technology stakeholders in Aklan.
Day 2 focused on advanced interoperability concepts, including FHIR Profiling, Implementation Guides, and the role of FHIR in information exchange. Sessions and hands-on activities were facilitated by Interoperability experts Gerard Paolo Villanueva, Dr. Thomas Niccolo Reyes, Errol Buenaventura, and Lawrence Macalalad. Participants worked on profiling constraints, creating ServiceRequest and Task resources, and performing end-to-end interoperability workflow simulations using a mock electronic health record system.
A key highlight of the workshop was the improvement in participants’ overall confidence in understanding and applying FHIR concepts after the two-day training. Evaluation activities reflected increased familiarity with interoperability workflows, resource structures, validation tools, and profiling concepts among participants from government agencies, healthcare institutions, and health information system providers.
The program concluded with synthesis sessions, evaluations, and closing activities led by the organizing team, followed by closing remarks from Mr. Daystar Sedillo, Medical Officer of Aklan PHO, and Justin William Duran, Executive Assistant of the Department of Health - Office of the Chief Information Officer (DOH-OCIO), formally closing the two-day interoperability workshop in Boracay.
The training served as part of the preparations for the June 2026 FHIR Connectathon and ongoing Local Health Information Exchange (LHIE) initiatives in Aklan."
