Programme
HL7 v3 is becoming widely used internationally, especially a variant called the ‘Clinical Document Architecture’. In New Zealand we have used CDA in a number of projects and there is now significant interest in making CDA the national standard for health interoperability for new projects – for example the ‘GP2GP’ project that will move clinical information from one GP system to another will use CDA.
This is a 2 day technical seminar, firmly aimed at those who are – or will be – actively involved in designing, developing, testing, consuming and supporting HL7 v3 messages – especially CDA. We will also touch on other related healthcare standards such as IHE. While no previous knowledge of HL7 is assumed, you should have a technical background, be familiar with XML and the concepts of object orientation. Some background reading on CDA will also be a good idea to get the most from this opportunity!
