Andrea Maclean - In Canada, hosting FHIR North (virtually) this year and registration is open if anyone is interested. Here is the link to the sessions. https://fhirnorth.mohawkcollege.ca/sessions/

Andrew Kanter - IMO COVID-19 Reporting inc co-morbidities with OHIE and WHO re: case reporting. WHO pushing ICD-11, but working to include SNOMED. (question to Suzy Roy on expansion of GPS for wider case reporting)

Andrew Perry - NHS Programme "Care Connect" defines profiles & binding eg Pharmacy → General Practice, annual flu programme and urgent supply of medicines hoping to role out this year. 

Anne H - Terminology Services Certification Course available as of today.

Jeff Pierson - IMO, covered by Andrew

Jeremy R - NHS has a terminology server, J looking at importing legacy coding system and is hitting limitations on the existing Resources, particularly problems with Maps to ICD.

Peter Hendler - Improvements to Analytics Demo: You can now put a SNOMED ECL statement instead of a single SNOMED code. Then Synthea will generate an entire population of patients all packaged in FHIR. Either a separate file for each patient or a huge file containing all the patients.
