As HL7 looks forward to celebrating 30 years in standards development this September, we want to share the expertise and knowledge we have gained with our members, collaborators and industry stakeholders.
Purpose

Additionally, The Standard will be a place to visit where you can read members’ personal stories and insights as they reflect on what it means to be involved in standards development and what they imagine future of healthcare will hold.
Authors
Blog posts will be authored by HL7 leaders, members and other health IT industry experts from the US and around the globe.
Thank you
As the chair of the board of directors for HL7 International, I am happy to welcome you as we begin our blogging journey. HL7 is about people and the people who make up HL7 are among the brightest and most thoughtful.
As interoperability becomes more central to providing the best possible healthcare globally, we must collaborate to ensure that our work has a global perspective. We will get things done by working together.
