HL7 v2, IHE, CDA AND HL7 FHIR®
2 Day Training Course

Overview:

Interoperability of Healthcare systems and exchanging of healthcare information is critical to improving patient care and healthcare information management.

 

To achieve interoperability we often use healthcare standards such as HL7 and DICOM.  These standards are continuously developing to leverage new web technologies.

 

The Health Normative Standards Framework (HNSF) published by the Department of Health covers many integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles. These profiles define which standards to use to achieve interoperability in healthcare systems. This course covers Basic concepts of the HNSF and IHE profiles, HL7 v2, Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and HL7 FHIR® and how these standards can transform the way we exchange health information. 

 

“HL7 FHIR® – Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources is a next generation standards framework created by HL7®. FHIR combines the best features of HL7's V2, V3, CDA product lines while leveraging the latest web standards and applying a tight focus on implementability.”  

Your Trainer

Herman Oosterwijk: President of OTech Inc., a healthcare imaging and informatics training and consulting company. He has been involved with the healthcare standards related to PACS, DICOM, HL7 and IHE for more than 30 years participating in several working groups of those committees and is a frequent publisher, blogger and speaker on these subjects.

What is HL7 FHIR®?

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a draft standard describing data formats and elements and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic Health Records.

 

FHIR is built on previous HL7 standards such as HL7 Version 2.x and HL7 Version 3.x but is easier to implement because it uses modern web-based API technology including HTTP - based RESTful protocols, HTML and Cascading Style Sheets for user interface integration, a choice of JSON and XML for data representation, and Atom for results.
