Does HL7 Go towards an Architecture Standard?

Starting as a rather simple message standard to be used within hospitals, the scope of HL7 has been extended to covering all domains and institutions in health. The most important development of the HL7 standard set was its development towards a model-based message specification methodology and the further movement towards a unified development process: HL7 Version 3. The focus was design for interoperability, which is also the driving aspect of architectural standards such as OMG's CORBA or the CEN EN 13606 Electronic Health Record Communication. The paper gives an overview about the HL7 standard set, comparing it with the principles of advanced information systems architecture.

Making messaging standards work: from definition to interoperability at runtime.

The synchronisation of data between healthcare IT applications is done by exchanging (in the broader sense) messages which are formatted according to one of many standards that are used in healthcare. The most successful standard enabling such communication and co-operation for health is HL7 established in the mid-eighties starting as a communication standard within hospitals. HL7 included soon other domains such as home care, clinical studies, and prescription communication. So, HL7 supports shared care between primary, secondary and territory healthcare establishments. Another very successful standard is DICOM for communicating image information among modalities and (radiology) information systems. This review paper discusses integration issues for specification and development of messaging standards and their impact on applications.
