Ed,
The invitation by the HL7 board is received well. We will try to make it to Baltimore. Harmonisation between CEN and HL7 is and stays our long term goal. CEN achieved a lot towards this goal in project teams 41 and 42 working on GPICS harmonised with HL7 and a set of Lab related messages based on GPICS. The next phase of interactions between CEN and HL7 will have to be discussed. Templates, Archetypes, GPICS, Archetype methods, Datatypes, the EHR will be topics of interest for all of us. Plus the way in which we both can have a process of harmonisation that is effective pragmatic and reciprocal, might be an other important topic. Gerard Ps: I'm giving you my personal thoughts.
