HIMSS: HL7 Standards Boost Health Data Interoperability
Diego Kaminker, Deputy Chief Standards Implementation Officer, HL7 International
For over 30 years, Health Level Seven International (HL7) has set the standard for electronic health information worldwide.
Federal agencies also leverage HL7 standards to exchange and share electronic health information to ultimately improve patient outcomes and health system performance. HL7 provides a set of standards for exchanging clinical and administrative health data between applications.
At HIMSS, Diego Kaminker, deputy chief standards implementation officer at HL7 International, discusses HL7’s goals in the health care sector, the impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule on standards development, and the evolution of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for data sharing.
