Brett,
Having just looked at the HITSP mission statement - and my role here
for NIH
how can I refuse your offer?
One immediate thought - the HL7 SDK work here at HHS/NCI may
potentially be
one item I can do liaison to - and then of course the other aspects
of applicable
OASIS components to the goals and mission of the HITSP work.
There is probably some extended thread we can trace back thru
HHS/ONCHIT
to NIH eRA / OD but I'll leave that for another moment.
I will support you as I can and project deadlines permit here of
course.
Thanks, DW

David,
I will be working on the
committee at HITSP to inventory standards. Do you
have the time
*and/or* would you be interested in working on this
committee?
Brett

Thanks Brett,
This is
important for the work I'm doing, building both ebXML and
UDDI
Registries of Healthcare and Emergency Management Standards,
Standards Organizations and Companies that use or whose
products/services can use these standards as a step toward making
it
easier to adopt standards, sd well as discover and partner with
others who have adopted standards so that shared services become
easier to implement in Service-Oriented
Architectures.
Regards,
Rex
