We supported a Social Determinants of Health Housing Insecurity Track at the InterOpathon

Under the National Interoperability Collaborative's Project Unify banner, open source HSLynk will be a test human services server during Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services (MiHIN) upcoming Virtual InterOpathon, May 28/29, 2020.

Using open APIs, your development time is cut dramatically. HSLynk does all the back end processing. You just make the app front end.

The 2020 HUD Homeless Management Information System updates are now programmed into HSLynk. Generate an APR with your own app using our APIs, or just use our Admin App, to manually generate the APR report CSV files download. You can then upload that set of files into HUD's Sage system, to validate the files and view the report.

HSLynk has always had APIs for fetching data, record by record. This new feature is for bulk downloading large date ranges of data, in a Dept. of Housing and Urban Development standard format.

We just rolled out two features: 1) users can group projects in many flexible ways. This allows for regional or funding source based information sharing, even across customers. It is much more flexible than simple project hierarchical levels you may see in other human services software. 2) the ability for app users to retrieve older responses to Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) questions

A quick video showing how it looks to access our Big Data Warehouse to create reports. This video uses Tableau, since it is popular, but Power BI, R-Shiny, and other popular tools work just as well.

The presentation featured HLynk's newest Community Data Exchange features, as well as full HMIS feature-set completion status.
