OCTRI Lunch-n-Learn description

The February session of OCTRI Lunch-n-Learn 2.0 will be on Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 1:00 p.m.  We will learn about CD2H’s FHIR initiatives from the new CD2H Assistant Director, Anita Walden.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is an HL7 international data standard for representing and exchanging data within and among healthcare organizations. CD2H coordinates and contributes to many FHIR initiatives, with the goal of making its adoption for translational research useful, easy, and a best practice.

Health Level Seven International (HL7) is a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited organization dedicated to developing standards for providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information used to support clinical practice and the management, delivery, and evaluation of health services.

As a refresher, the goals of the OCTRI Lunch-n-Learn series are: 1) for OCTRI faculty and staff to learn about other programs outside of their own, and 2) to serve as an opportunity for people to get to know each other.  

As such, we are adding an optional social component this year.  There will be 15 min of time at the end of each Lunch-n-Learn for OCTRI team members to talk and munch on snacks or desserts.

These are meant to be casual, informative presentations with lots of time for Q&A, so please bring your lunch and your questions.
