Here's the big news: Canada is leveraging the IHE methodology (super-short intro video, here
) to help progress its national interoperable Patient Summaries initiative. The public comment period for the portfolio of profiles is now open... and there will be an upcoming Projectathon (leveraging a national Gazelle instance) to keep the ball rolling.
Please -- for those who have expertise in this area -- follow the link to the Patient Summaries forum and review the draft specifications. The comment period is open until Feb-14 (Valentine's Day!!)... so show some love, and provide your feedback.
Improving the quality of patient care through the effective sharing of clinical information among health care organizations, clinicians and their patients.
