HL7 Issues Four Implementation Guides


November 20, 2008

Standards development organization Health Level Seven has released four new guides for implementing its Clinical Document Architecture in specific settings.

The architecture from Ann Arbor, Mich.-based HL7 is a common framework for the exchange of health care information. It is a generic standard designed to be flexible. It can be adapted for certain uses through implementation guides.

The new implementation guides cover diagnostic imaging, consultations, quality reporting and home health monitoring. The home health guide is available for downloading now at www.hl7.org/dstucomments/index.cfm. The other three guides should be ready by December.
