This proposed working group would support collaboration, exchange of best practices, and assimilation of requirements for new open encodings, interfaces, best practices and extensions to spatial standards serving needs in the health care marketplace. Those of us who drafted the charter seek an open spatial standards framework for health mapping, spatial analysis, and hospital planning and operation. See more this recent OGC Blog post.
