Healthcare Forum Members' Meeting
Objective of Meeting
- To move the Reference Architecture (HERA) forward
- To advance the Forum
Summary
Prior to the Event the Vice-Chair and Director met for 1.5 days to discuss the HERA and its use by Sykehauspartner in Norway. Much of the first day was spent discussing and revising our respective slide decks on the HERA. Four papers were presented during the Plenary on Tuesday (see the Plenary report). The Forum and the HERA attracted the interest of architects from Capgemini (who attended the closed meeting on Wednesday) and a consulting firm working on a healthcare architecture for the Czech Republic.
Wednesday morning the Chair, Vice-Chair, and Director met with Steve Nunn, CEO of The Open Group to discuss the HERA and assorted Forum topics. The remainder of Wednesday (except Wednesday afternoon) and Thursday were spent discussing the HERA, Capgemini’s RA for pharma work, and the RA for the Czech Government.
Wednesday afternoon the Chair, Vice-Chair,, and Director met with Loren Baynes and the Hotwire team, to discuss current issues in Healthcare, representative Forum views on those issues, and how marketing this information can be useful to the Forum.
