Dear Openhealth List members, This is a once-off posting for those interested in HL7 in the Australasian region.
---------------------- The 3rd HL7 Australia Conference on Decision Support Standards in Sydney, August 13&14, 2003, is now open for registration! See www.HL7.org.au/2003-SYD.htm. The Conference will provide an effective forum for HL7 users, clinicians with Health IT needs and those interested in the HL7 approach to healthcare system interoperability. Clinical Decision Support and the standards utilised to effectively implement it is the core topic. Presentations, Tutorials and Workshops will give in-depth information on the HL7 Decision Support Standards and the underlying technologies. Again, we have a an impressive line-up of inter-national and local experts. The co-chair for the HL7 Decision Support TC will give a Arden Syntax tutorial. Also, the relevance of the technologies will be put into a clinical and a management context. We also will explore the possibilities of setting up a Technical Committee to progress the localisation and implementation of clinical decision support standards in Australia. *** Special HL7 Australia Members rate: $395 (until July 21) *** I very much look forward to seeing you in Sydney and again expect a productive atmosphere of sharing HL7 innovation as well as technical and clinical experience. Klaus Veil Chair, HL7 Australia
