HINZ Conference & Exhibition 2006 9-11 August 2006, Aotea Centre, Auckland, New Zealand Only two weeks away now, the HINZ Conference and Exhibitions 2006 <http://www.2006.hinz.org.nz/> is offering several workshops and key speakers that are relevant to those with an interest in healthcare interoperability. Workshops on Friday 11 August: HL7 V2.4 messaging standards and CDA Full Day Workshop led by Rene Spronk, an international expert in HL7 standards from the Netherlands HL7 WORKSHOP FRIDAY 11TH AUGUST NZ is in the process of finalising the HL7 V2.4 messaging standards and implementation guides for electronic exchange of “Discharge Summary, Status Report and Referral” (RSD) and “Laboratory/Pathology and Radiology orders and reports”. While a number of important milestones have been achieved, the migration of messaging standards from V2.1 to V2.4 in the laboratory test reporting presents significant challenges. The implementation of V2.4 messaging standards in other areas represent uncharted territories. Internationally there are growing interests in Hl7 V3 messaging standards and in particularly Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). To help explain the use of HL7 V2.4 messaging standards and implementation guides for electronic exchanges of in RSD and Laboratory/Pathology and Radiology orders and reports. HL7 NZ presents this one-day technical workshop, as part of the HINZ 2006 programme, on these critically important topics. ACHIEVING SEMANTIC INTEROPERABILITY: THE openEHR (CEN 13606) APPROACH Half Day Workshop led by Sam Heard, CEO Ocean Informatics Covers the experience of developing products based on the openEHR specifications. These are aimed at achieving standards-based repositories that can be used by vendors and others under GPL or proprietary licensing. The workshop leading will discuss the advantages and challenges of this comprehensive and ‘future-proof’ approach which enables single source specifications (archetypes) and mappings (e.g. HL7 to openEHR). Key data quality issues including the use of comprehensive terminologies such as SNOMED-CT will be discussed.
