HL7 Balloting Process

The HL7 balloting process is a formal procedure used to review and approve healthcare data standards. Experts and stakeholders review proposed updates or new standards to ensure they are accurate, clear, and effective. They provide feedback, suggest improvements, and vote on whether the standards meet quality and safety requirements. This collaborative process helps ensure that healthcare systems can communicate consistently and reliably. Once consensus is reached, the standards are finalized and published for use across healthcare organizations globally.
