Joint Meeting

• 2017-11-27 discussion
  • During the last meeting of IHE Pharmacy in Bordeaux we discussed if there is any ground to use the moment of Cologne for a get together with HL7 Pharmacy, IHE Pharmacy and ISO WG 6.
  • From the IHE Pharmacy viewpoint we have our new profiles Mobile medication administration ( MMA) and Uniform Barcode Processing ( UBP) to present to you. If the HL7 Pharmacy group is interested we could set up initiatives to organize an one day meeting with IHE and ISO. This could for example be the Thursday, since you always participate with the ClinFHIR on the Fridays.
  • Please bring this forward in your conference call and let me know if there is any interest in a joint session in Cologne in May 2018.
  • May not all Co-Chairs present.
  • If we held it on a day, they would have to pay the daily rate.
  • could we do this as an online call at another time?
  • could may be do this at HL7 Pharmacy meeting in Cologne for this who are joining
• 2017-12-04 Waiting for feedback from Michael re: IHE and ISO interest in either an online meeting or other alternative.
