The CEN/TC 251 would like to congratulate HL7 Europe on its 10 year existence.

It has been 10 years since HL7 International opened an office in Brussels, with the aim of participating in a number of leading European projects. This milestone was celebrated with an online party conference!

On Monday January 18, 2021 the 10th anniversary of HL7 Europe was celebrated with a webinar with the title:

HL7 Europe : Past, Present, and Future

This included a panel discussion with Jasper van Lieshout (Dutch ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports) and Kai Heitmann (German Health Innovation Hub).

Be sure to watch the webinar if you missed it. The program and slides are available on Confluence.
