Antitrust statement

Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).

IRIs in FHIR & UTG content10RD, CM

TSMG vote required re: HTA recommendations

  • Initial authoring - FHIR RDF will provide information for code systems used in HL7 products
  • Maintenance going forward - HTA to include IRIs going forward for external code systems.
    • Gaurav Vaidya, also applies to identifier systems (e.g., passport numbers, driver's license numbers, device identifiers)?
  • IRIs are used outside of HL7, essentially these create a map for exchange for code system information, paired with code, for use elsewhere
  • This includes the commitment that FHIR RDA group will make changes to metadata records in THO. 
  • DG: Motion to accept the HTA recommendations per IRI and will be recorded in the policy page, including a link to the FHIR RDF minutes where that group has agreed to provide the support as asserted above., RB: seconds the motion.  Motion passes 8-0-0
