EHR Interoperability WG
Following is a collection of documents and development work of the HL7 Electronic Health Record (EHR) Interoperability Work Group (an activity of the HL7 EHR Work Group). The Work Group meets Tuesdays at 2PM ET for 60 minutes. All are welcome! (Please subscribe to the HL7 EHR Interoperability listserver for meeting announcements, agendas and updates on current work.)
Note: DRAFT documents may be incomplete and are posted for Team review and discourse. Please take care to note their draft (tentative) status if referencing or sharing with others.

EHR System Function and Information Model (EHR-S FIM)R2.1 or 3.0
EHR-S FIM Release 2.1 or 3.0 has the purpose to:
- add core information models for each EHR-S FM function - make the EHR-S FM easier to use for analysts and engineers - verify and validate EHR-S FM Release 2.0 - DSTU demonstration for Service Aware Interoperability Framework (SAIF) - Support specific profiles (e.g., WG project DAMS, DIMS, DCLS).
