HL7 News

HL7 Offers Free Ambassador Webinar: Meaningful Use Stage 2 and HL7 Standards
Thursday, 26th April 2012
Health Level Seven® International (HL7®), the global authority for interoperability and standards in healthcare information technology with members in 55 countries, will present a complimentary Ambassador webinar titled Meaningful Use Stage 2 and HL7 Standards on Thursday, May 3 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT.

Health Level Seven International Project Supports the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Blue Button® Requirements
Tuesday, 28th February 2012
Health Level Seven® (HL7®) International, the global authority on standards for interoperability of health information technology with members in 55 countries, today announced a response to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) recent requirement that U.S. Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) health insurance carriers support the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Blue Button® text file format as a means of conveying personal health information to federal employees. In January 2012, HL7 launched a project that defines the conversion of an HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD®) to the Blue Button format via an XSLT style sheet tool. Because most Meaningful Use–certified health information exchange systems already possess CCD-export capabilities, the tool will be able to leverage those capabilities as a simple and effective way for many carriers to meet OPM's new requirement.

HL7 Pilot Program to Provide Key Intellectual Property Free of Charge
Wednesday, 22nd February 2012
Health Level Seven® International (HL7®) announced today a pilot program to provide some of its key intellectual property free of charge. HL7 is keeping its promise to lower the barriers to adoption of electronic health records by making portions of our valuable intellectual property freely available to our stakeholders, said Charles Jaffe, MD, PhD, CEO of HL7. We believe that care givers, academic centers and vendors will greatly benefit from this significant enhancement for access to valuable HL7 material.
