Medications Work Group

Co-chairs: Andrew Griffin & Dr Stephen Chu

Safe medication management is a critical clinical safety issue.

The HL7 Australia Medication Workgroup (WG) provides a forum for stakeholders and interest parties to contribute and discuss matters related to clinical and technical contents of medication information.

The mission of this WG is to assure that these medication information contents:

• are interoperable
• meets the requirements of prescribing/ordering, dispensing and supply, administration and use
• supports the understanding and review of patient’s medical profile and management

As a member of HL7 Medication WG, you will be able to:

• Help shape the direction(s) of and contribute to this workgroup in the adoption, adaption (localisation) and development of interoperable contents to support safe medication information exchanges and management
• Receive regular updates on the trends in national and international standards in interoperable medication information including FHIR medication resources and other HL7 Pharmacy standards
• Gain hands-on experiences in the adoption, adaption, development and implementation of interoperable medication information through HL7 Australia sponsored events such as Connectathons and Clinician-on-FHIR

Meetings are held monthly on the last Monday of each month, 2-4pm AEST

The next meeting will be held at Monday 25 July 2016, 2-4pm AEST
