Following the speaker talks, the following questions will be addressed in a panel:

  • How do you see the role HL7 Europe and European affiliates moving into the future?
  • How can they work together to support an increasingly diverse set of stakeholders and use cases in and out of healthcare organizations?
  • What actions can help defragment the market, secure pragmatic regulations (e.g. self-regulation vs government-mandate)?
  • What synergies work well? Where more work is needed?
  • How do you see the changing role of HL7 Affiliates in Europe, vis-à-vis development of specifications for digital health services; What is the role of certification in relationship with other organizations?
  • How do you see the HL7 user communities evolving into the future?
