What is HL7 ?
Health Level Seven is one of several ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) operating in the healthcare arena. Most SDOs produce standards (sometimes called specifications or protocols) for a particular healthcare domain such as pharmacy, medical devices, imaging or insurance (claims processing) transactions. Health Level Seven’s domain is clinical and administrative data. Our mission is to: "To provide standards for the exchange, management and integration of data that support clinical patient care and the management, delivery and evaluation of healthcare services. Specifically, to create flexible, cost effective approaches, standards, guidelines, methodologies, and related services for interoperability between healthcare information systems."

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI, Health Level Seven is like most of the other SDOs in that it is a not-for-profit volunteer organization. Its members-- providers, vendors, payers, consultants, government groups and others who have an interest in the development and advancement of clinical and administrative standards for healthcare—develop the standards. Like all ANSI-accredited SDOs, Health Level Seven adheres to a strict and well-defined set of operating procedures that ensures consensus, openness and balance of interest. A frequent misconception about Health Level Seven (and presumably about the other SDOs) is that it develops software. In reality, Health Level Seven develops specifications, the most widely used being a messaging standard that enables disparate healthcare applications to exchange keys sets of clinical and administrative data.

Members of Health Level Seven are known collectively as the Working Group, which is organized into technical committees and special interest groups. The technical committees are directly responsible for the content of the Standards. Special interest groups serve as a test bed for exploring new areas that may need coverage in HL7’s published standards. A list of the technical committees and special interest groups as well as their missions, scopes and current leadership is available on HL7 web site, www.hl7.org.

 

 

An Introduction to HL7

W. Ed Hammond, Ph.D
Department of Community and Family Medicine
Duke University Durham, North Carolina,

This introductory tutorial will cover the HL7 organization and the scope of its activities, including a general discussion of how the standard evolves. Next, Dr. Hammond will discuss, briefly, why standards are necessary and how HL7 addresses those needs. Specifically, fundamentals of the HL7 data messaging standard will be introduced including messages, segments, data fields and data elements. A brief discussion of trigger events, data types and syntax will be presented. The tutorial will focus on Version 2.4,including specific examples (use cases) of patient administration and orders and result reporting. Data interchange examples will be presented using laboratory tests and prescription drugs. Examples for sending vital signs, problem lists, radiology reports, and queries will also be included. The final segment will include a look at Version 3.The Message Development Framework, the Reference Information Model, and how these are used in the generation of the standard will be discussed. The activity of related groups, such as the Vocabulary, Structured Documents, and Decision Support Technical Committees will be briefly mentioned.

 

 

HL7 International – Implementing HL7 in your Country

Klaus Viel
Chair - HL7 Australia,
International Representative HL7 Board of Directors

Health Level Seven (HL7) has become an international standard. It has the flexibility to be adopted to specific national requirements. Klaus will describe the areas of flexibility and how HL7 can be adopted to your country. Case studies will demonstrate the configuration of messages to local requirements, while still being fully HL7-compliant.Full compliance is important when integrating systems with products from international vendors.

 

 

Patient Administration, Order Entry and Results Reporting Messages – The Core of HL7

Joachim Dudeck, M.D.
Institute for Medical Informatics
University of Gießen, Germany

Patient Administration (ADT), Order Entry and Results Reporting are the most often implemented messages of the HL7 standard. They represent the central part of the standard one have to start with in HL7 implementations. The tutorial will focus on details of those messages in HL7 version 2.4. The most important datatypes will be explained, message structures and trigger events described. Examples will show how to map patient and visit data, orders and in particular test and observation results in HL7 messages. Participants shall be able to understand and read HL7 messages.

 

 

Unveiling CDA, v2.xml and more – HL7 and the Extended Markup Language XML

Kai U. Heitmann, M.D.
Institute for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Epidemiology
University of Cologne, Germany

The Extended Markup Language XML is no longer a W3C standard for the internet only, it also significantly influences developments on the healthcare sector both as a document standard and an interchange format for message exchange. HL7 uses XML since several years. The first large standard development within HL7 is the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), which is now an XML based ANSI standard for structured documents in healthcare. The CDA provides an exchange model for clinical documents (such as discharge summaries and progress notes)–and brings the healthcare industry closer to the realization of an electronic medical record. While HL7 v3 completely relies on a XML based message syntax, XML encoding is also possible (and recommended) for v2 message exchange. Using XML as an alternative transfer syntax to the original “vertical bars”, enables new interface developers to use standard XML parsers and tools to process HL7 v2 compliant XML messages.
