With the turn of the government fiscal year approaching, the PHFIC team will take a hiatus. Though this pause does not impact the project’s overall goals, during this hiatus there will be a pause in organizing any further workshops and some office hours session will be cancelled while PHFIC’s CDC partners solidify topics and speakers.
The PHFIC team looks forward to engaging again when we return. 

If you have any questions for PHFIC during this hiatus, you are welcome to route those inquiries to CDC’s OPHDST email, OPHDST-Comms@cdc.gov

New Calendar Invite: A new calendar invite will be sent from the PHFIC@mitre.org mailbox. The PHFIC Office Hours will still be held every Wednesday from 12pm–1pm Eastern with the same Zoom link. Please delete any old calendar invite for PHFIC Office Hours and accept the meeting series from the PHFIC@mitre.org. There will be no Office Hours July 5, 2023, so the new series will begin July 12, 2023.

CDC PHFIC FHIR Office Hours are open to CDC employees, their collaborative partners, and state, territorial, local, and tribal (STLT) health authorities.

Office Hours, workshops, and other FHIR advisory services are facilitated by the Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) project.
