August 2012: Clinical Document Architecture hits New Zealand
In August, we will be hosting a seminar on CDA.
The CDA standard is rapidly becoming one of the most important single standards in healthcare. This seminar will be an extension to the highly successful seminar last year by Grahame Grieve, and will be presented by local speakers and focusing on the local CDA standards that are being developed such as GP2GP, ePrescribing and Transfer of Care.

21-22 June 2012: Healthcare Interoperability Pioneer Ed Hammond & openEHR
In conjunction with HINZ we will be hosting a seminar on Electronic Health Records and openEHR and we are proud to announce that we have secured Ed Hammond as the keynote speaker for this event. Ed was one of the initial founders of HL7 and remains one of the most important voices in healthcare standards and interoperability. His keynote is bound to be very illuminating!
The openEHR section of the event will introduce Archetypes a core component of the National Interoperability Reference Architecture, and an increasingly accepted way of representing health information. We are grateful to Ocean Informatics for providing one of the leading experts in this field Hugh Leslie – to speak to us. In this session Hugh will walk us through the essentials of modelling, and then jump right into practical examples from Australia and other national programs. Attending these sessions will be very worthwhile as Hugh will demonstrate how to transform Archetypes into HL7 clinical documents (CDAs)
The 21 June seminar is run in conjuction with HINZ and The University of Auckland and will be held at the Aotea Centre, Auckland. The Cost for HINZ and HL7NZ (financial) members is $150 and non members $250 (includes one year membership to both HINZ and HL7NZ). You can register for this event here http://www.hinz.org.nz/events/Seminar/2012/6/Leveraging+the+EHR+for+translational+health+care%3A+Exploring+what%27s+under+the+bonnet/47
The 22 June tutorial on openEHR is run by HL7NZ and will be held at the University of Auckland Tamaki Campus in Glen Innes. The cost is $150 for HINZ and HL7NZ (financial) members and non members $250 (includes on year membership to both HINZ and HL7NZ). This one day tutorial will be presented by two internationally acknowledged openEHR experts – Drs. Hugh and Heather Leslie from Ocean Informatics Pty Ltd. The tutorial will cover the full continuum of the methodologies described in the New Zealand Reference Architecture for Interoperability – from clinical requirements through modelling to the creation of compliant CDAs automatically. Attendance at this day will suit anyone who has an interest in Clinical Data Modelling, and how the models created can be used to produce real messages that promote semantic interoperability between Clinical Information Systems.

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!
