GreenCDA Project - HL7Wiki. The greenCDA project has developed a pragmatic methodology for creating simplified schemas that can be transformed directly to or from normative CDA. This page provides a high-level overview of the greenCDA specification which has been officially balloted via HL7. Full details on the greenCDA methodology can be found via the ballot document references at the bottom of the page. Changes to the implementation guide and technical artifacts for the greenCDA balloted package are listed here.

Version 1.0 - HL7 Bookstore Download Initial publication. greenCDA is a different thing to different people: To the CDA designer, it is a document describing a process. The methodology is tool-neutral, meaning that it does not suggest a specific tool to use when following the process outlined in the document. greenCDA instances are delivered in modules. Module development guiding principles: HL7 datatypes _should_ be used in greenCDA modules to ease the transformation development. Publications greenC32. Standards Product Brief - HL7 Decision Support Service (DSS), Release 1. (Download) (3.00 MB) A Decision Support Service takes in patient data as the input and provides back patient-specific assessments and recommendations.

A Decision Support Service facilitates the implementation of clinical decision support capabilities in a scalable manner. The service payloads used by a Decision Support Service (e.g., Consolidated CDA or Virtual Medical Record representations of patient data) are defined through other projects within HL7. This specification is an update to the Decision Support Service Release 1 standard.

Compared to Release 1 of the standard, the main update is the addition of a Representational State Transfer (REST) Web service interface to the existing SOAP Web service interface. HL7 Decision Support Service (DSS) may also go by the following names or acronyms: "HL7 Decision Support Service, R2", "HL7 Decision Support Service, R1", DSS, DSS R2 See the Implementation Guide for this Standard.

Construct Details. S&I Clinical Element Data Dictionary WG. Project hData - Simple and Scalable Clinical Information Exchange. IHE ITI mHealth Profile - Public Comment. The IHE IT Infrastructure domain has published one new supplement for Public Comment. The supplement is formally “Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD)”, but is often referred to as the mHealth profile. The Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) profile defines a simplified RESTful interface to an XDS like environment.

It defines transactions to a) submit a new document from the mobile device to a document receiver, b) get the metadata for an identified document, c) find document entries containing metadata based on query prameters, and d) retrieve a copy of a specific document. These transactions leverage the document content and format agnostic metadata concepts from XDS, but simplify them for access by mobile devices. The MHD profile does not replace XDS. It can be used to allow mobile devices constrained access to an XDS health information exchange.

Getting Started in the IETF Contents Structure The IETF's standards development work is organized into 8 Areas ( Each Area has 1 or more Area Directors (ADs), which together comprise the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). The IESG is responsible for technical management of IETF activities, the Internet standards process, and for the actions associated with entry into and movement along the Internet "standards track," including final approval of specifications as Internet Standards and publication as an RFC.

Within each Area there are multiple Working Groups (WG). Each WG has one or more chairs who manage the work, and a written charter defining what the work is and when it is due. People interested in particular technical issues join the mailing list of a WG ( and occasionally attend one or more of the three IETF meetings held every year. Participation The IETF is completely open to newcomers. How to Start. Introduction to HL7 Standards. HL7 Standards Licensed At No Cost Health Level Seven International is proud to announce that our primary standards and other select products are now licensed at no cost.

Learn More > HL7 and its members provide a framework (and related standards) for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information. These standards define how information is packaged and communicated from one party to another, setting the language, structure and data types required for seamless integration between systems. HL7 standards support clinical practice and the management, delivery, and evaluation of health services, and are recognized as the most commonly used in the world. HL7 standards are grouped into reference categories: Section 1: Primary Standards - Primary standards are considered the most popular standards integral for system integrations, inter-operability and compliance.
