HL7

D-Innovators embraces the ANSI approval HL7 or Health Level Seven standard.  HL7 consists of the V3.0 Reference Information Model (RIM) and the V2.5 which expresses the data content needed in a specific clinical or administrative context as a transaction. They are prescribed  in patterns by which multiple OBX segments may be combined to describe selected, gross observations. The ANSI HL7 standard is managed by the HL7 standards committee.

"Level Seven" refers to the highest level of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) communications model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) - the application level. The application level addresses definition of the data to be exchanged, the timing of the interchange, and the communication of certain errors to the application. The seventh level supports such functions as security checks, participant identification, availability checks, exchange mechanism negotiations and, most importantly, data exchange structuring.
