Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKai Heitmann is a healthcare IT consultant and standards expert with over two decades of hands-on experience in HL7, FHIR, CDA and XML-based interoperability, currently leading Heitmann Consulting and Services from the Berlin area. He co-founded the ART-DECOR tool suite and runs ART-DECOR Open Tools, combining technical specification, implementation and commercial stewardship of tooling that underpins healthcare standardization efforts. Kai has advised national ministries and large trade associations, served as Director Interoperability at Germany’s health innovation hub, and holds long-standing leadership roles in HL7 Germany and ISO TC 215. He blends academic rigor from his medical informatics background with practical delivery across concept, specification and implementation phases, and produces media content (hl7.tv) that documents the people and processes behind standards. Less obvious: beyond standards advocacy he has repeatedly moved between nonprofit standards governance and commercial tool delivery, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on how standards become deployed in real-world health systems.
