While the name "HL7 Singapore" suggests a focus on HL7-related initiatives, our role extends beyond that. HL7 Singapore serves as the de facto Health Informatics Society of Singapore, advocating for and supporting all relevant Health IT (HIT) interoperability standards adopted in the country.Our key activities include:Supporting the Development and Implementation of HIT Standards
🔹We facilitate the development, promotion, and adoption of HIT standards that align with the needs of healthcare organizations, professionals, and IT practitioners in Singapore.
Aligning National Requirements with HIT Standards
🔹We ensure that Singapore’s national healthcare IT requirements are effectively matched with international HIT standards. Where necessary, we develop Singapore-specific messages, profiles, and implementation guides to enhance interoperability and compliance.
Education and Capacity Building
🔹We actively educate healthcare IT practitioners and the broader Singapore healthcare community on HIT standards, promoting effective and consistent implementation to drive digital health transformation.
Fostering Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange
🔹We facilitate collaboration within the Digital Health and Health Informatics ecosystem by organizing local and international meetings, seminars, workshops, and conferences, enabling the exchange of expertise and best practices.
Through these initiatives, HL7 Singapore plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of health informatics and interoperability in the country.
