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?

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
