HL7 International Working Group Meetings (WGMs) are held three times per year at varying locations and serve two important purposes:

1. Provide the HL7 International work groups the opportunity to meet in person and work on standards, as well as to network with industry leaders from around the world.
2. Offer an invaluable educational resource for the healthcare IT community.

Standards Development

HL7 International has more than 40 work groups dedicated to specialized areas of interest such as Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Infrastructure, Mobile Health and Electronic Health Records. These work groups are directly responsible for the content of standards and spend much of their time at WGMs hard at work on standards development. Attending a WGM is a great way to learn about a particular area, and everyone attending a WGM is invited to any of the work group meetings.

Educational Sessions

Educational sessions will cover a full range of HL7-specific topics such as Version 2.x Implementation, Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA®), among others. Sessions also branch out to cover general interest industry topics such as Electronic Health Records, Interoperability, Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and Vocabulary Terminology.

HL7 FHIR Connectathon

HL7 FHIR Connectathons are a two-day event of hands-on FHIR development and testing held in conjunction with Working Group Meetings. This event provides a great opportunity for implementers and developers to gain hands-on experience developing FHIR-based solutions by participating in one of many available tracks.

C-CDA Implementation-A-Thon at the FHIR Connectathon

The HL7 FHIR Connectathon now includes a new C-CDA Implementation-A-Thon (C-CDA IAT) track. The C-CDA IAT track helps implementers work to reduce inconsistencies in HL7 Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) implementations across the healthcare industry. Attendees will collaborate on clarifying C-CDA document creation questions as well as engage in exploratory sessions designed to bring clarity to less defined or emerging data representation in C-CDA.
