The CONNECT open source project, which began in 2007 as a Federal Health Architecture initiative (under the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology), has sought to build a health information exchange foundation using nationally-recognized interoperability standards. Currently, more than 30 governmental and private sector organizations are in the process of or are using the CONNECT platform to share data.
