The Health Level 7 Messaging Standard

The HL7 Messaging Standard has been around for over 20 years, providing administrative, financial, and clinical messaging standards for the health care industry. This sharing of electronic health care information using the HL7 protocol allows hospitals to streamline all areas of patient care, communicating this information between numerous computer systems and applications from different departments and agencies. The problem is that these various systems and applications are not designed to communicate with each other. The HL7 Binding Component provides a solution by configuring and connecting the HL7 servers and clients within a JBI environment.
