Bert Kabbes, grondlegger van HL7 Nederland, over de internationale HL7 WGMs, en hoe men daar als nederlandse vrijwilliger het meeste profijt uit haalt. Tevens haalt hij zijn gedachten aan over (wat hij noemt) HL8, HL9 en HL10 - issues die bovenop de berichuitwisseling van laag 7 liggen. Opgenomen op 2008-09-13 tijdens de WGM in Vancouver.

Presentatie gegeven op de congresdag van HL7 Nederland

The very first H7 FHIR connectathon was held on Sept. 8, 2012 in Baltimore during the HL7 WGM.

This video by René Spronk contains a brief report and some interviews. Speakers include Grahame Grieve, Ewout Kramer, Duane Bender and Mike Henderson.

W. Ed Hammond, PhD, a founding member of HL7, has served three terms as the chair of the HL7 Board of Directors and is one of the most astute observers of the international healthcare standardization scene.

At the 25th Plenary and Working Group Meeting in San Diego in September 2011 he spoke about 25 years of HL7's history: The good, the not so good and lessons learned.

At the 25th HL7 Plenary and Working Group Meeting in San Diego, California (USA), the HL7.tv team had the opportunity to speak to Charlie Mead, MD, MSc, Chair of the HL7 Architectural Review Board. He gave an introduction about HL7's Service Aware Interoperability Framework SAIF.

Peter Hendler MD, with Kaiser Permanente, explains how reasoners work using examples based on colors and shapes, as well as clinical examples. Subsumption is covered in detail.

As part of the Fresh Look initiative HL7 went into a bit of self reflection, partly because of the low uptake of HL7 version 3 messaging: what would a good (and: new) specification look like? RFH is certainly a prime candidate.

See healthintersections.com.au/​rfh/​introduction.htm for the specification, and healthintersections.com.au/​?p=502 for the associated blogpost which announced it.

This presentation provides an overview of HL7 RIM Based Application Architecture (RIMBAA). RIMBAA is an aproach whereby the HL7 RIM is used either as a database model or as an in-memory object model.

The video discusses the advantages of such an approach. The viewer is assumed to be familiar with HL7 version 3 and the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM).

Interviews about the history of the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) with George W. "Woody" Beeler, Abdul-Malik Shakir and Mead Walker.

This is a short video with two comments by George W. "Woody" Beeler and Mead Walker from HL7 about "what's so great about HL7"...

Dies ist eine etwa 26-minütige Einführung in den IT-Standard HL7 für das Gesundheitswesen auf Deutsch.

W. Ed Hammond, PhD, a founding member of HL7, has served three terms as the chair of the HL7 Board of Directors and is one of the most astute observers of the international healthcare standardization scene.

The HL7.tv team had the opportunity to talk to him about HL7 and what makes it special at the recent HL7 Plenary and Working Group Meeting in Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA), where HL7 had the largest number of attendees to date.

Presentation by Grahame Grieve about HL7 Data Types Release 2 and what's changed.

This tutorial covers the basics of the HL7 Wiki.

Why do we use a Wiki? Logging in, finding your way around, and the basic editing syntax.

If you already know how to edit the HL7 Wiki, you may wish to review the Intermediate Level tutorial instead, available here.

This tutorial covers some of the generic features of the MediaWiki software as used by HL7.

The feautures discussed in this tutorial are: versioning (revisions of pages), monitoring changes made by others (recent history, watchlist, RSS), delete/move/REDIRECT, and the uploading of files.

If you're already familiar with these features you may want to skip this tutorial and move directly to the Advanced Tutorial, available here.

This tutorial covers some of the more advanced aspects of editing the HL7 Wiki. Topics covered include: Categories, Include pages, Templates and the use of images with Thumbnails.

Interview with Charles Parisot (GE Healthcare, IHE guru) in which he comments on the reasons for the high adoption rate of the HL7 CDA standard.

Charles has three reasons which he elaborates on in this video. He summarizes by stating that "HL7 CDA is the standard for today".

Espen Møller, interim chair of HL7 Norway, on the topic of the creation of the HL7 Norway organization. HL7 Norway's petition to become an affiliate was formally accepted on April 20th, 2010. The main reasons are a) to be able to create Norwegian implementation guides, and b) to be part of a network of international resources that are working on healthcare interoperability.

Part of a blog post.

Dr. Eric Fishman and Dr. Charles Jaffe, CEO of HL7, discuss how HL7 International has garnered affiliates in over 40 countries, and how the organization has become the leading global standards development organization for the sharing health information.

They discuss how HL7 International standards help physicians not just ‘use’ data, but reuse data through permanent electronic documentation, which will be more and more important as the government makes strides towards creating a National Health Information Infrastructure.

An introduction to HL7, takes about 30 minutes to complete.

conhIT 2010 - Interview mit Dr. Kai U. Heitmann, HL7 Benutzergruppe

The HL7 Static Model Designer is an open software development project which aims to provide second generation tools to support the HL7 V3 message modeling methodology.

Tom de Jong (consultant with Nova Pro, active member of HL7 International and HL7 the Netherlands) provides an overview of the history and use of the HL7 version 3 Concern Act to model the "episode of illness".

The question posed by Rene Spronk (consultant with ringholm.com, representing HL7 Norway in this case) to Tom is related to healthcare encounters and the grouping thereof, see the HL7 Wiki for a HL7 proposal related to that subject.

Ewout Kramer (Furore BV, the Netherlands) presents the new way in which Context Conduction has been defined in HL7 version 3 models.

Presentation held during the March 11 (2010) RIMBAA WG out-of-cycle meeting in Amsterdam. Note that the color Red was "missing" in the LCD projector used, which makes the slides relatively hard to see.

See his powerpoint presentation – in original color.

Duane Bender (Mohawk College, Canada) presents an overview of the EVEREST Toolkit. This is a HL7 v3 MIF-code generation based framework for .net.

See details.

Pitch by Rene spronk to lower the hurdle for HL7 v3 implementation by software developers. Rene suggests a few ideas as to how this hurdle may be lowered.

Part of a blogpost.

See plans for a "v3 implementation book" in this blogpost.

Kjetil Sanders, CTO of CSAM Health, Norway, describes the use of the HL7 v3 RIM as a core data model within their application architecture.

Heitmann, unter anderem aktiver Mitwirkender in mehreren Standardisierungsorganisationen, erläutert den Standardisierungsprozess für eHealth-Anwendungen im Gesundheitswesen in Deutschland und die Zusammenarbeit der Organisationen HL7 (Health Level 7), IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise), und DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung).

Torgny Neumann (Helse Vest IKT) talks about a Norwegian healthcare hospital encounter model as used in IT systems. This video serves as input in future work for the development of a HL7 version 3 model for encounters.

Interview with Dirk Engels in February 2009 on the topic of SAP IS-H interfacing capabilities. Current implementations of IS-H use the HCM and BAPI interface, the data istelf is translated to HL7 version 2 using a third party communication server. SAP has recently added a number of Enterprise Services with additional capabilities to IS-H.

This interview is part of a whitepaper available here.

Interview with Liora Alschuler (Alschuler Associates, co-chair of the HL7 Structured document committee) about the readmap for the creation of new releases of CDA (CDA R3) and CCD (CCD R2 - a universal version of the current US specific CCD R1 specification).

CCD as well as other future implementation guides will be defined as a collection of templates. HL7 has started the process of collecting requirements for CDA R3 and CCD R2. The initial version version of CDA R3 will be published in the fall of 2009.

See blog post for full details.

Grahame Grieve (Kestral, HL7 Toolsmith) explains the role of the MIF (Model Interchange Format) in the HL7 version 3 standard.

MIFs are intended to be used by tools only - it is a pre-publication, XML-based, format. MIFs are used to create documentation, to perform validation, to enable code generation. They have no formal role in the HL7 v3 Development Framework (HDF).
