*HL7 education – a competency framework is being developed as a precursor for development of learning objectives, curriculum and accreditation processes.  A plan has been prepared to develop a professionally-produced e learning package at an introductory level on the topic “What is HL7”.  It will be freely available and widely distributed.  The Board is being approached to provide funding for this.
 
*Services specification – the services group is very active and is developing 4 specifications (record location and access services, common terminology services, entity identification services and decision support services). An infrastructure group is working on how these are specified (methodology, templates etc).  The aim is to ballot the entity identification services in the May 2006 ballot cycle; record location and access and common terminology services in the September 2006 cycle; and the decision support services in January 2007.  These will also be taken through the Object Management Group (OMG) processes, as these are collaborative projects.  A workshop will be held in the UK on 31 January 2006 to look at this agenda in relation to the NHS program (see HL7 UK site).  There is also a degree of informal collaboration and cross representation with the OASIS group.

International Affiliates

Representatives form 17 countries are present at the WGM. Two new affiliates have been created: HL7 Chili and HL7 Sweden. The Strategic Planning Comittee gave an update on the status of their work. The European Affiliates will consider creating an "European HL7 Ambassador" position to represent the HL7 affiliates in contacts with the European Union.

The Affiliates present at the meeting gave a status update about activities in their respective realms; Chuck Meyer presented the USA Realm activities. See Affiliate Reports for detailed reports from the affiliates.

The May 2007 WGM will be held in Berlin, Germany. The exact dates and location will be announced at a later point in time. The international interoperability meeting (formerly known as the international affiliates meeting) will be held in Cologne, Germany, on August 24 and 25 2006. The interoperability meeting will be focused on standards implementation experiences, where WGMs focus on standard development.

At a glance

  • The v3 Normative Edition will be published latest february of 2006. New normative content was created for the Master File/registry domain, Personell Management and CMETs.
  • Work is underway on V2/V3 mapping and capturing/developing best practice in migration between the two.

Use of Wiki's by HL7

On Tuesday evening a "Wiki Nite" was held to discuss the use of Wiki technology and other Collaborative Technologies by the HL7 community. The basic functionality of a Wiki was demonstrated. This was followed by a discussion related to how the HL7 community currently uses the Wiki, and for what purposes a Wiki would be the most suitable technology. It was the consensus that any "dynamic content" that is potentially authored by multiple sources is a good candidate for the Wiki. Static content (e.g. a finalized text, finilized meeting minutes) is probably better at home in a document repository or the HL7 website.

Skype (the chat option thereof) was briefly discussed as an example of another technology which supports the colaborative process: during WGMs this is frequently used for brief communications between domain-experts that take part in seperate committee meetings. As such it supports cross-committee communications.
