Chris,
HL7 would not be the "'parent' or central coordinating body".
With the exception and collaboration of the additional, parallel
organizations noted by the NCVHS, HL7 *is* the body that already
(for over 15 years now) sets the standards -- data content and
format -- for communicating patient medical records information "that
doctors and hospitals must collect and manage".

Dave,
Thanks... this is very exciting news. It would appear that HL7 is
proposed as the "parent" or central coordinating body for PMRI
standards. It also appears from the scopes/missions of the three
specific SDOs mentioned, that a need may exist for a separate SDO (or
perhaps a committee within HL7) to consider format and content
standards for the [non-image] PMRI information that doctors and
hospitals must collect and manage. Would you agree... or is there
already a designated committee working on this?
Regards,
Chris
