Health Level Seven (HL7) adopted object-oriented modeling for its Version 3 standard, transforming health informatics standards development. This new methodology aims to enhance international collaboration and consensus in healthcare data exchange.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Science
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Health Level Seven (HL7) initiated the development of Version 3.0 in January 1997.
  • The development of Version 3 marked a significant shift in how HL7 and its Technical Committees create information interchange standards.
  • This transformation involved integrating object-oriented modeling into the development and specification processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the rationale behind HL7's adoption of object-oriented modeling for its Version 3 standard.
  • To provide an overview of the Version 3 Message Development Framework, HL7's new methodology.
  • To explore how the Version 3 methodology can foster international collaboration and consensus in health informatics standards.

Main Methods:

  • Adoption of object-oriented modeling principles.
  • Development of the Version 3 Message Development Framework.
  • Analysis of features supporting international collaboration.

    • Main Results:

    • A new methodology for developing HL7 information interchange standards was established.
    • The Version 3 Message Development Framework was introduced.
    • The potential for enhanced international collaboration in health informatics was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • The adoption of object-oriented modeling represents a fundamental change in HL7 standards development.
    • The Version 3 Message Development Framework provides a structured approach to creating health information standards.
    • The new methodology is designed to facilitate global cooperation and agreement in the field of health informatics.
