HL7 Conformance

HL7 Conformance refers to adhering to a set of international standards that ensure different healthcare systems can communicate and exchange patient information accurately and securely. It means that software and devices follow specific rules and formats recognized by HL7 (Health Level Seven) to reliably share data like lab results, patient records, and prescriptions. This standardization helps prevent errors, improves efficiency, and ensures consistent understanding of health information across various healthcare providers and systems. Essentially, HL7 conformance ensures interoperability, enabling seamless and trustworthy data exchange in healthcare.
