International Council

International Council

The International Council supports the HL7 mission to create and promote its standards by helping to assure that the needs, issues and other input of all HL7 International Affiliates are recognized and effectively acted upon by the HL7 organization.

Making a global contribution

The International Council provides a forum for HL7 Affiliates and other interested HL7 members to communicate and exchange views as well as discuss issues regarding the international development, adoption, application and implementation of the HL7 standard. There are several ways to get involved with the international HL7 effort and get your ideas and opinions heard:

• The International Council meets at every HL7 Working Group Meeting - on Sunday Q1, Q2 and Q3 and Thursday Lunch (by invitation), Q3 and Q4 of each Working Group Meeting. This is an open meeting, and all affiliate representatives and other interested HL7 members are invited to attend and contribute.
• There is an International Council list server, which is open to all for discussion and sharing of ideas.
• Once a year, the International Council organises the International HL7 Interoperability Conference, which provides a forum for HL7 users from around the world to come together and share their experiences.
