Healthcare LOM Corrections
MedBiquitous has made minor non-substantive corrections to the Healthcare LOM standard. These include:
- Correcting the healthcaremetadata.xsd schema to support multiple non-accredited providers for an activity.
- Correcting sample files in Appendix 3 and in the implementation toolkit to use the hx: namespace prefix for the source and id keyword attributes.
If you have any questions regarding these corrections, please contact Valerie Smothers.
