HL7 Antitrust Policy

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).

Healthcare Product Update (John Hatem)

• 22 Nov 2021
  • HCP meeting discussed Scope and Boundaries for the Biologically Derived Product resource.  Pharmacy needs clarification I believe on what items will be ordered via the Biologically Derived Product Resource. The items that Pharmacy will need to focus on are: 
  • Need to determine if we will reference biologically derived product from our resources - if there is a chance that any biologically derived product could be ordered from Pharmacy, then our resources need to be updated to reference the resource.
  • Pharmacy needs to review resources to determine what resources should be referenced - add a tracker
