Friends,
We have a huge
accomplishment to announce to the world. The EMTC has
completed the bi-directional transformation spec between HL7
messages and OASIS EDXL TEP and the document is published as
a joint release between the SDOs. It is available as a
non-standard track document Committee Note (CN) and can be
found in Kavi. Chet of TC Admin will do a notice to all
members soon. NOW – as we look to publicity, the HL7
working group meeting in Baltimore, MD Sept 17-23 is going
to be big for us. We have just gotten approval to do a
birds of a feather session to highlight our work. We can do
a demonstration Tues 9/20 from 5:15-6:15 with full room
support for 1-1/2 hours with seating for 32. We will also
have opportunity to announce our session to the full general
membership in a 5-min tickler as well as have information
included in at least three publications. We are reaching
out to OASIS staff to help us with this. We will stand up
the Events & Demos SC of the EM Adoption TC to take this
over. There will be a meeting of this SC next week – look
for the notice to both of these lists.
What do we
need NOW? ASAP, we
need a title for our Birds of a Feather Session. The title
will appear in all publications, should be catchy and
describe what we have to highlight.
Some titles of
other BoFs: “Adding ptients and caregivers to the flock”;
Enterprise Architect”; Government round table – what is
important for government employees to learn about how
federal partners play in the standards space (sorry – that
one is paraphrased); “Podiatry needs functional profile now”
What will we do
in our meeting? We will discuss what players may be
available, what s/w can be shown for a simple scenario. Tim
Grapes is going to help with the scenario. He will also
reach out to the practitioners from the live exercises to
find a scenario snippet that would be of interest to this
audience. Patti has offered to do a presentation. We will
discuss the wording we would like in the collateral and what
support we need. We will pitch to OASIS Staff for help with
funding this as it is an opportunity for OASIS to highlight
their collaboration with other SDOs. It will be good
visibility for us all.
Please reply
with any interest you have in this work and especially any
title you suggest for the BoF session!
