INM SWOT

DRAFT, October 30, 2009

• Strengths

Very knowledgeable participants Well-known and well-used Standards

• Weaknesses

Lack of regular participation Lack of resourcing to work with other groups or new work items Scope of WG is narrow Need for new standards is not uniform. There are a couple of efforts in other HL7 WGs which will need either modified or new INM standards which have not been resourced. One project needs additional work with batch. Another project(s) are working on services (which will also affect the current INM standards).

• Opportunities

Wrappers R2 will be a chance to re-engage all interested parties

• Threats

Limited participation
