HL7 CanadaWelcome to the Canadian FHIR implementation community forum. The purpose of this forum is to collaborate on areas of FHIR implementation that will advance implementations across Canada, while contributing to the global adoption of FHIR.

Michael Savage created a new discussion in FHIR® Implementations

Hi all! We're restarting our CA Baseline weekly calls this Friday with a Governance call, now that the CA FHIR Baseline community review of CA Core+ v0.1 is complete. We'll pick up additional topics of: 1) Lessons learned that we could apply to future CA FHIR Baseline ballot(s) 2) Identification of how we'd like to address potential changes that came out of review of CA Core (e.g., harmonizing around name invariant) 3) project name / canonical url changes, 4) deciding if we should be more consistent in our stub value sets approach Recognizing it's Good Friday, we'll still be hosting the call for folks who are available and able to join, so at minimum we can get the discussions going. Thank you!
