In the press release, Donald Mon, PhD, co-chair of the HL7 EHR Work Group and member of the HL7 Board of Directors, stated:
“This profile is an excellent demonstration of how important functional requirements for secondary data use, such as clinical research, can be integrated into the patient care work flow and documented in EHR systems.”
