Sept 2018 Connectathon

[Kevin Shekleton]

Hi everyone!

The next HL7 FHIR Connectathon is coming up at the end of next month and I hope to see you all there! The Connectathon is Sept 29-30 (Saturday & Sunday) and will be held in Baltimore, MD at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor.

They are expecting a very large turnout for this Connectathon and space is limited. If you are planning on attending but have not registered yet, I would do so before they sell out. Registration is $450 and can be done at http://www.hl7.org/events/working_group_meeting/2018/09/

Already registered? Make sure you add yourself to our participant tracking sheet AND fill out the Connectathon survey to indicate that you will be participating in the CDS Hooks track.

So far we have two use cases with confirmed participants:

- Implement the final 1.0 spec (this includes changes from the recent May 2018 HL7 ballot)

- Check for drug-drug interactions with the medication-prescribe hook

We are soliciting additional scenarios and documenting them on our track Wiki page. If you are interested in a particular scenario, please reply here and let's find CDS Clients (ex: EHRs) and CDS Service Providers who are interested in participating in the scenario with you.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in Baltimore!

Best,

Kevin

(Note - I've cross posted this in our Zulip chat here. If you'd rather reply there, please feel free to do so!)

For those planning to attend the upcoming Connectathon, we will have a GoToMeeting call next Friday, Aug 31 (details follow). Each track hosts their own pre-Connectathon call to go over the basics of the Connectathon, logistics, and specifics for the track. If you can't make it, don't worry as we'll record the call and post it here for everyone to view later.
