     • The IMC is currently attempting to promote the creation of HIT Standards Collaboratives (initially targeting Low and Medium Income Countries, specifically, Eastern, Western, and Southern Africa). Suggestion: Ask key Canada Infoway personnel for guidance. Also, suggestion to contact the “Jembi” organization (Chris Seebregts) who is implementing openMRS (which uses HL7 Standards in an Open Source manner) in South Africa.
     • On 20120910, Dave Hamill announced the creation of a new HL7 software tool which helps link a “job” to an HL7 expert. The IMC believes that this tool might be useful for identifying HL7 experts who might be able to make presentations in regions that do not currently have HL7 presence. Since these opportunities often arise in an ad hoc fashion, the tool might serve as a mechanism for filling such needs as they dynamically arise.
     • During HL7’s International Council meeting on 20120910, the new Puerto Rican Affiliate announced good progress since its inception in July 2012. They initially focused on developing their new Affiliate’s structure, funding, and participants. At the IMC’s recommendation, they solicited the participation of vendors, providers, and universities – and did not target the government. The government soon endorsed HL7 PR and created legislation whereby healthcare professionals could only receive government money if those professionals used Certified EHR Technology (per the U.S. ARRA’s Meaningful Use requirements).
