Plenary: Women for FHIR Panel
summary
Panel launches a womenforFHIR initiative, creates a persistent womenforFHIR Zulip stream, and reports 25 women at DevDays (offline and online). Discussion names concrete gaps: missing consent workflows, inconsistent menstrual-cycle modelling across implementations, low caregiver and nurse-informaticist participation, and imposter syndrome. Suggestions include targeted outreach to nurse and medical-record professionals, more visible women speakers and mentors, and running pre-conference meetups to onboard first-timers and track change over the next three years.
