The Need for HL7

Hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare centres around the world require the ability to send and receive heathcare data, including patient information and various lab reports. As a result, vast amounts of healthcare information are exchanged on a daily basis. However, medical data can be extremely complicated due to the abundance of clinical terminology, as well as the structural complexity in the formation of the presented information. Thus, this information must be presented in a standardized format in order to ensure that the data is universally understood and organized. In order to achieve this, all healthcare information must be sent in a specialized healthcare language.

The language that has been developed to overcome these obstacles is HL7. The HL7 protocol was developed by the Health Level 7 Organization, which consists of grammar and vocabulary that is standardized so that clinical data can be shared amongst all healthcare systems, and easily understood by all. By using the HL7 messaging protocol as a standard, all systems following the HL7 specifications are able to communicate easily with one another, without the need for information conversion.
