[ebxml-mktg-sc] 1/8/2003: ebXML and e-Procurement in the HealthcareSector

[Monica Martin <mmartin@certivo.net>]

In addition, HL7 is involved with an experimental registry effort with
NIST.  See Lisa Carnahan and John Silva.  URL for effort is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HL7-Conformance/files/.

At the Open Forum we will also have a brief about a project, SAGE that
plans also to use Reg/Rep.

CDC is also involved in the Drummond Group interoperability test for
ebMS.

Stay tuned.

Monica

Carol:

If it helps, David Webber and I (well, more David than me) did an
article 
for Managed Healthcare Executive magazine about a year ago that
discusses 
ebXML applications to health care, focusing on the potential for
addressing 
problems such as adverse drug events.  See 
http://www.xmlglobal.com/news/articles/MHC-ebXML-Article.pdf .
