Dear all,

The CEN/ISO 13606 EHR-communication standard is starting the process for its renewal. Several activities have been held and will be organised in order to support this process:
• The EN 13606 Association has held a enquiry with implementors of the 13606 all over the world, including persons from openEHR. A survey has been published: [http://www.en13606.org/activities/general-assembly-2012](http://www.en13606.org/activities/general-assembly-2012)
• During the CEN/ISO working group meetings held in Vancouver it was decided to start a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) as first step.
• The EN 13606 Association promoted a meeting in London (UCL) to discuss this NWIP and action lines with some key players active in CEN and ISO from the UK, Sweden, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands.
• During the MIE2012 conference by the end of August in Pisa, the EN 13606 Association will organise two workshops and a training course. We invite you to attend and participate in the discussions about the renewal of the CEN/ISO 13606 standard.

**Workshop 1: 13606, what is it and how will it be renewed (1.5 hours, date to be confirmed)**

**Workshop 2: Topics for renewal of the 13606 EHR-communication standard (1.5 hours, date to be confirmed)**
