The Tooling WG will hold a Conference Call at 2 PM Eastern time, each Thursday except during scheduled face-to-face Working Group Meetings unless otherwise noted at Telecon_Agendas.
- Conference Call: Uses HL7 Conference Call Service
- Dial 770-657-9270 and enter pass code 586935#
- Dial 770-657-9270 and enter pass code 586935#

- Tooling Work Group Minutes are on HL7.org
- HL7 List Services Welcome Center is the HL7 list server where you can subscribe to any of the Tooling lists
Overview
What we are responsible for
(description is Work In Process - see Tools List discussion)
Tooling Work Group’s responsibility covers tools developed by and for HL7, as well as those tools that HL7 has fostered the development of either by direct solicitation, or by collaboration with HL7-specific projects outside of the organization. It is expected that the Tooling Work Group will provide a more precise framework and guidelines for licensing future HL7 tools.
- Rene: this excludes any work done by this WG to review, categorize, or recommend the use of any public domain HL7-oriented tools that haven't been created under the (partial) responsibility of HL7 International. The group may wish to add specific wording to public domain HL7-specific tools created by third parties (e.g. HAPI, probably the most often used HL7 toolkit, or MARC-HI Everest).
How we work:
(description is Work In Process - see Update the Tooling Work Group wiki page)
- liaison roles with Struct Docs project and EHR, and Templates as well as RIMBAA
- liaison responsibilities with OHT, SMD, MDHT, IHTSDO WB
Toolsmith Ribbon Recipients
The Tooling Work Group would like to recognize the volunteer efforts of people who have worked on tools used by HL7 and it`s members to design, publish and then adopt HL7 specifications. The tools are available either on HL7`s Gforge site or as Open Health Tool projects. Please notify the co-chairs if you become aware of other volunteers and their tools. Toolsmith ribbons are being included in Working Group packets to increase awareness and recognition for their efforts.

EST Liaisons
EST liaisons are those participants that provide communication and coordination between the EST Work Group and other Work Groups.
Work Groups with interest in tooling should appoint a liaison with the expectation the liaison should provide a liaison update once per month. The intent is to make sure EST is aware of other groups' tooling requirements.
Current liaisons, their represented Groups, and the areas of interest are:
Group | Liaison Name | Area of interest |
AID/RIMBAA | Michael Van der Zel | Tooling for implementers. See RIMBAA_Tooling_Liaison and Implementation Tools for details & status updates. |
CGIT | Rob Snelick | CGIT interest is any tools involving conformance and best practices for writing IGs |
CIC | Abdul-Malik Shakir | MAX Project |
CS (Clinical Statement) | Rik Smithies | Ontology |
EHR | John Ritter | EHR-S FM Profile Designer (PI 1040) and R3 preparation |
Education | Diego Kaminker | Tooling Education planning |
FHIR/FMG | Lloyd McKenzie | FHIR Tooling |
Mobile Health | Matt Graham | tbd |
Patient Care | Michael Van der Zel | See Patient Care Tooling Liaison for details & status updates. |
Publishing | Brian Pech | Tooling for publishing. |
Structured Documents | Andrew Statler | Template definition tool |
Templates | vacant | Primarily interested in a Templates registry, a subset of type of artifacts for the Shared Artifact registry/repository. |
HL7 Board | David Burgess | Overview of the state of HL7 tooling, proposed and current projects and feedback from users on tool requirements and utility. |
Open Health "group" | Ken Rubin | Monitoring status of Open Health Tools projects of interest to HL7 and participating in the OHT Architecture Council representing HL7's interests. |
Vocabulary | vacant | Vocabulary tooling is the highest priority for funded tools if we had funding. |
CIMI | Michael van der Zel | NEW |
How you can participate:
(description is Work In Process)
Requests for new tools should come from a Work Group's Tooling Liaison, if they have one, or from a Work Group's co-chair (if no liaison has been named).
Requests for new tools should be added to the Tooling Requests wiki page
Requests for enhancements to an existing tool should be added to that tool's GForge tracker. The standard GForge project for each tool should have "Bugs", "Support Requests", and "Feature Requests" trackers.
Hot Topics
- Tools List discussion - action item assigned to Andy - what the Tooling WG is responsible for, a list of HL7 Tools and links to their documentation,

Current Projects/Work
- HL7 - Tooling & Electronic Services alignment Andy to do a draft proposal for review in San Diego
- Static Model Designer:
- OHT - NHS sponsored Static Model Designer

- Preparation for Tooling related Tutorials - part of a plan for rolling out the new SMD
- MAX - Model Automated eXchange - current project
- OHT - IHTSDO Workbench - OHT related project that is part of the strategic plan
- OHT - HL7 UML Modeling Tools need a statement of when MDHT tool should be used compared to the new Trifolia tool - invite Bob Dolin to a call and discuss - the Trifolia tool is a short term stop-gap for US template designing specs for ONC - MDHT generates code too
- Templates Registry Pilot - pilot suspended for lack of funding - current focus is revise the business requirements as informative document
