Clinician Connectathon 2015

Back to: Patient Care
Return to: FHIR Patient Care Resources
Return to: FHIR Clinical Connectathon Initiative

Introduction

The 2014 September Clinician Connectathon provided a large amount of valuable feedbacks that result in significant improvements to the follow-up event in November 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. Participants at both events agreed that it is a valuable event that:

• Effectively improves communications and understandings between the FHIR technical and clinician communities
• Is a source of extremely useful inputs for improvement of FHIR resources and tooling

It is planned that the Clinician Connectathon will be a continuing event at each HL7 International WGM until such a time that it is determined that the event is no longer necessary
