News from IHE USA

This just crossed my desk. The most important part of this announcement is in the first paragraph. When IHE USA had negotiated the dates for last year's connectathon, they also scheduled a year ahead. Unfortunately, that wound up being right on top of the HL7 Working Group Meeting. Enough members complained that it was changed. Thanks IHE USA for listening!

The next most important part is about the "Interoperability for Dummies" book.  No, they aren't kidding.  A free e-book on Interoperability, written for your boss (or his or hers).  I can't wait for my download.
