Health Level Seven Standards

Health Level Seven (HL7) Standards are a set of globally recognized guidelines that ensure different healthcare systems and software can effectively share and interpret clinical information. They facilitate seamless communication between hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, and doctors, improving the accuracy and efficiency of patient care. By standardizing data formats and messaging protocols, HL7 helps ensure that vital health information—such as test results, patient records, and medication details—is consistent, timely, and secure across various platforms and organizations.
