I have been encouraged by the openness and sometimes frankness of these discussions. Following are some of the key themes: Focus on Interoperability and the maturity level of your products FHIR, FHIR, FHIR Make your products implementable defined down to the data element so that implementations can be consistent and easy to do Provide or define the tooling or toolkits needed in implementation so those working with the HL7 products don t have to sort this out Develop Application Program Interfaces requirements Define HL7 so it is easy to understand regardless of the audience Assure that HL7 is the place to go for healthcare IT development Be the go-to healthcare standards development body To those of you who have been HL7 members for some time, none of these are likely to be a surprise. Many of you might be aware that my HL7 experience has been through participation as a work group co-chair, the steering division co-chair, a member of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), as well as a leader of board appointed committees. This is what I hear and see: Mature our standards development process. When warranted, be consistent in our approach Formalize the management of our various product families Foster a viable, efficient tooling program, especially for development and publishing Make HL7 easier for volunteers Move more wisely if not faster Socialize the work that is ongoing, both between the work groups and among the membership Open and sustain the lines of communication throughout the organization The desires of those supporting HL7 are not that different. Things don t happen overnight, but we all desire the acceleration of IP development. There are two other items that must be considered:. Financial viability. HL7 has been applauded for providing standards free of charge and easily accessible whether or not an HL7 member. I would challenge all of us to find additional sources of revenue that will allow us to become a more nimble/mobile organization. 2. Internationalization. Some say this work has been going on for more than ten years. It is important to complete this discussion. I want to thank Stan Huff for his wonderful thoughtfulness and leadership over the past two years (and before) and for his continued work with HL7 and the board in the future. I ask for all of you to work with the excellent HL7 management and HL7 board in guiding this unique organization in continuing to be lively and creative while at the same time maturing the foundation. Patricia A. Van Dyke Chair, Health Level Seven International

7 WHAT IS A WORKING GROUP MEETING? HL7 International working group meetings (WGMs) are held three times per year at varying locations. These WGMs serve two important purposes: They give the HL7 International work groups a chance to meet face-to-face to work on the standards as well as the opportunity to network with industry leaders from around the world. They provide an invaluable educational resource for the healthcare IT community. Standards Development More than 40 HL7 work groups are dedicated to specialized areas of interest such as Mobile Health and Electronic Health Records. These work groups are directly responsible for the content of the standards and spend much of their time at the working group meetings hard at work on standards development. Attending a work group meeting can be a great way to keep up-to-date on what is happening in a particular area, and everyone attending an HL7 working group meeting is invited to attend any of the work group meetings. Please see pages for a complete schedule of meeting times throughout the week. Educational Sessions Numerous educational opportunities will be offered at this WGM. Sessions will cover a full range of HL7-specific topics such as Version 2.x Implementation, Version 3, and the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA ), Fast Healthcare Interoperability Standards (FHIR ), among others. Educational sessions also include industry topics such as Meaningful Use in the US, Electronic Health Records, and Vocabulary Terminology. For a full listing of course descriptions, please see pages 8-9. EDUCATION TRACKS HL7 has organized its courses into six tracks to make it easier to choose the educational offerings that are right for you: Track Version 2.x Core HL7 Version 2 is the world s most successful healthcare interoperability standard. Originally developed in the late 980s, it has been continually enhanced over time. The introductory tutorials familiarize students with the Version 2 messaging standard and its core domain areas, while the implementation classes provide the how to basics of implementation. The track also includes courses that cover conformance and profiles and XML for Version 2. Track 2 Version 3 and CDA Core HL7 Version 3 is HL7 s model-driven architecture allowing for better semantic interoperability and has been adopted by major healthcare organizations, such as the NHS in England. This track is designed to give the attendee a thorough introduction to the Version 3 family of standards. It covers Version 3 fundamentals, the Reference Information Model (RIM), messaging, documents (Clinical Document Architecture), messaging infrastructure (wrappers, transport), and the XML Implementation Technology Specification (ITS). It concludes with classes that address strategies for implementation. Track 3 Special Topics The Special Topics track offers a variety of electives that describe important HL7 standards that may not fall into either the Version 2 or Version 3 family. These include HL7 standards for Electronic Health Records (EHR), Security and TermInfo. The Special Topics track also offers advanced or specialized classes in Version 2 or Version 3 subjects that are not considered part of the basic core offerings. Examples include classes in Version 2 and Version 3 tooling, and domain classes such as Clinical Genomics. Track 4 FHIR This track provides tutorials and other activities focused on HL7 s new Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources standard.

Registrants should plan to attend the entire event; no partial registrations will be accepted. A Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR ) Connectathon is an opportunity for implementers to participate in developing FHIR solutions and exchange data with other FHIR interfaces. The connectathon is not a formal tutorial. There will be no lectures or presentations. Instead, attendees will participate in.5 days of hands-on, heads down development and testing, working directly with other FHIR developers as well as senior members of 3

14 TUTORIALS the FHIR standards development team. The connectathon is a chance to get your hands dirty and learn by doing as well as to help evolve the FHIR specification. Participation in the connectathon will be as part of one of several tracks. Participants will be asked to confirm which track they wish to follow a few days in advance of the connectathon (based on their level of readiness as well as area of interest). Details on the scenarios for both tracks as well as information on pre-connectathon discussion forums can be found on the connectathon website here: By registering for the connectathon, participants authorize HL7 International to share contact information (name, and organization name) with the FHIR Management Group for the purposes of coordinating connectathon activity. Registrants will be contacted prior to the event regarding intended scenarios, platforms and other information. There is a cost difference for participants versus observers. The reason for this is two-fold. First, attendees are likely to receive more benefit by actually participating in FHIR development than by merely watching. Second, HL7 offers a discount to participants due to the beneficial impact of their work on the development of the FHIR specification. Note: If registering as a participant, you will be expected to write at least some software intended to demonstrate FHIR connectivity.
