Charter
Work Products and Contributions to HL7 Processes

Stakeholders include pharmacists and other clinicians, healthcare technology experts, vendors, regulators, pharmaceuticals and healthcare strategic organizations e.g. Dutch National ICT Institute for Healthcare (Nictiz), Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), Canada Health Infoway, Australia’s National eHealth Transition Authority (NeHTA).
