HL7 Mission

HL7 provides standards for interoperability

See: http://www.hl7.org/about/index.cfm?ref=nav

Level Seven" refers to the seventh level of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) seven-layer communications model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) - the application level. The application level interfaces directly to and performs common application services for the application processes. Although other protocols have largely superseded it, the OSI model remains valuable as a place to begin the study of network architecture.


HL7 Work

But…

HL7 work also takes place between scheduled Working Group Meetings. Most Committees also conduct some work via email, web page downloads, respective list servers and conference calls.


Survey & Networking Excercise

Need to be completed by Wednesday and submit at the registration desk

Some one’s survey will be selected to win a prize that will be announced Thursday morning during the morning session

Now the real fun begins – Networking – The First Time Attendee Networking Exercise

Look for the Mentor Ribbon You must introduce yourself and ask the Mentor about what brings them

to HL7 – then and only then can you ask – are you the Mentor with the active award ticket

Mentors can only tell you that they either are the Award Mentor or not at this time – Only one Mentor carries the reward, so do not be afraid to ask again, but you must continue the conversation before asking if they are the Award Mentor at this time.

Have fun – Practice your networking skills
