High standards. The formidable task of adopting HL7 standards is easier with the right tools
1Dominican Santa Cruz Hospital, Santa Cruz, Calif., USA.
Abstract
Problem:
The hospital needed a strategy to integrate the HL7 standard into its facility. Because HL7 is flexible and subject to many interpretations, speaking HL7 is not a simple turnkey process.
Solution:
Full HL7 functionality was achieved systematically and incrementally with the installation of an interface engine plus HL7 tools with end-point communication simulation.
Results:
HL7 messaging simulation tools let technicians deliver better interfaces with fewer errors for less money.
Keys To Success:
A robust interface engine and third-party tools can lead the way for successful adoption of the protocol.
