New face on HL7 Australia board
Thurs 9 Sept: NEHTA has been invited to join the Health Level 7 Australia (HL7) advisory board to help progress national e-health standards and prepare for an international forum in Sydney next January 2011. Standards Manager Tina Connell-Clark has been co-opted to the board, as a non-voting advisor, to further develop the strong partnership that already exists between the two organisations.
Ms Connell-Clark joined NEHTA in 2008 and is currently responsible for coordinating and orchestrating the development of industry standards with peak standards organisations as well as co-chairing various NEHTA cross-industry working parties, most recently the ePIP Industry working group.
Prior to joining NEHTA she was General Manager for a medical software vendor and Operations Manager for corporate general practice groups including radiology and day hospitals. Tina is a past committee member of the Medical Software Industry Association and other industry bodies.
HL7 Australia President David Rowlands said NEHTA’s support was vital in helping HL7 build the understanding and capacity that would underpin a successful national e-health rollout.
NEHTA is committed to the collaborative relationship and has been working closely with the standards community, particularly HL7 Australia, to expedite the development of e-health standards in Australia.
Next year’s HL7 International Standards and Education Meeting, in Sydney, will bring together more than 50 work groups, committees and task forces to progress the HL7 V2.x, CDA, V3 and EHR standards. The program will include a range of courses, tutorials and workshops from global leaders in e-health.
HL7 International is a not-for-profit organisation which promotes the development and use of HL7 and related standards to facilitate interoperability of health information systems.
