HL7 NZ (supported by The Ministry of Health) are planning HL7 training workshops/seminars for 2010. These workshops will help IT project teams, clinical decision makers and the wider health informatics community understand the history, present and future of HL7 in NZ and globally. Workshops will be an opportunity for attendees to network and learn about what is happening regionally and nationally. To help us plan quality workshops and seminars we need you to take a moment to think about what you (and others in the organisation you represent) would like to see in these workshops. By telling us what you need we can ensure presentations are at a level and pace for different audience needs. It will take less than 5 minutes to answer our online survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WHF2Y6W).
 

Dr. Sam Heard (Director @ openEHR Foundation and CEO Ocean Informatics Pty.) will talk about the use of new openEHR, a new electronic electronic health record and health data/information management paradigm, which has recently been adopted by ISO/CEN.

Presenter: Zoran Bolevich, Group Manager, Information Strategy and Architecture (MoH)
The aim of the workshop was to have hands on experience with health information strategy and policy processes. There were more than 50 people attending – the participants were divided into six groups by round tables.

The evaluation and selection of health informatics standards, particularly the ones related with architecture and interoperability is a "hard" problem...We have performed a literature review and an environmental scan on this issue within the scope of a report comissioned by HISAC (Health Information Strategy Action Committee):
