has been a fun project to build out, but it is not something I am
13currently using myself at the moment.</p>
14<p>I have recently made a job change. I am still within the Healthcare
15Interoperability field, but no longer working for the same organization. My new
16organization is implementing EPIC and I am now EPIC Bridges Certified (also EPIC
17DC Admin Certified). We will be using InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect
18interface engine. I have not yet actually started working with this interface
19engine, but from what I am seeing, I will not have a need for a tool like Gofer
20Engine in this organization in the foreseeable future.</p>
21<p>Since I am not utilizing Gofer-Engine, it will be difficult to continue
22developing it without someone dogfooding the product.</p>
23<p>If you are interested in using Gofer Engine at it&#x27;s earliest stages, or even if
24you are available to try it out for a specific use case need that you have then
25please contact me.</p>
26<p>Thank you,</p>

28<p>That line was great, but that is not our motto... We&#x27;re excited to share some
29insights into the core values that drive Gofer Engine and shape our mission in
30the realm of healthcare interoperability. As we embark on this journey together,
31it&#x27;

31s essential to define what sets Gofer Engine apart.</p></div><footer class="row docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="col col--9"><b>Tags:</b><ul class="tags_jXut padding--none margin-left--sm"><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/healthcare">healthcare</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/interoperability">interoperability</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/gofer-engine">gofer-engine</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/values">values</a></li></ul></div><div class="col text--right col--3"><a aria-label="Read more about Unveiling the Motto of Gofer Engine" href="/blog/unveiling-gofer-engine-motto"><b>Read More</b></a></div></footer></article><article class="margin-bottom--xl" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/BlogPosting"><meta itemprop="description" content="I posted recently on LinkedIn starting a topic on how to enable integration in"><header><h2 class="title_xvU1" itemprop="headline"><a itemprop="url" href="/blog/what-is-hl7">What is HL7</a></h2><div class="container_iJTo margin-vert--md"><time datetime="2023-05-20T00:00:00.000Z" itemprop="datePublished">May 20, 2023</time> · <!-- -->15 min read</div><div class="margin-top--md margin-bottom--sm row"><div class="col col--6 authorCol_q4o9"><div class="avatar margin-bottom--sm"><a href="https://github.com/amaster507" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="avatar__photo-link"><img class="avatar__photo" src="https://github.com/amaster507.png" alt="Anthony Master" itemprop="image"></a><div class="avatar__intro" itemprop="author" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><div class="avatar__name"><a href="https://github.com/amaster507" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Anthony Master</span></a></div><small class="avatar__subtitle" itemprop="description">Gofer Engine Founder</small></div></div></div></div></header><div class="markdown" itemprop="articleBody"><p>I posted recently on LinkedIn starting a topic on how to enable integration in
