Dear Members and Friends of the Health Story Project

You are invited to participate in an education session to encourage participation in the current HL7 ballot cycle for the HL7/IHE Health Story Consolidation Project implementation guide.  Please register using the link below, and forward as you wish to colleagues who may have an interest.

Webinar: HL7/IHE Health Story Consolidation Project: How to Participate in the HL7 Ballot
When: Wednesday, April 13, 4-5 PM eastern
The HL7 International data standards organization will soon open a ballot for an important package of standards for health information exchange.  The Health Story Project is hosting a webinar is to show those unfamiliar with the process how to participate in the ballot.
The HL7/IHE Health Story Consolidation Project has harmonized exchange standards for eight common types of clinical documents along with the HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD) standard and the HITSP C32 requirements for Meaningful Use into one single implementation package.  ONC's Office of Standards and Interoperability (S&I) is hosting the effort within its S&I Framework and is facilitating the project.  Within HL7, the project is sponsored by the Structured Documents Work Group.  
Development of the original eight implementation guides for History & Physical, Discharge Summary, Operative Note, Consult Note, Progress Note, Procedure Note, Unstructured Documents and Diagnostic Imaging Reports was supported by the Health Story Project through an associate charter agreement with HL7. The project has harmonized these with complementary IHE Profiles and will result in a series of corresponding change proposals to IHE and updates to templates required for Meaningful Use.
The HL7 Ballot is open to all. This webinar will review all administrative, documentary and technical steps needed to cast your ballot and to participate in the ballot reconciliation process.
