HL7 Version 2.x

HL7 Version 2.x is a set of international standards that allows different healthcare computer systems to communicate and share information efficiently. Think of it as a common language that ensures accurate and consistent transfer of medical data, such as patient records, lab results, and appointment details, between hospitals, clinics, and labs. This interoperability helps healthcare providers deliver better, coordinated care by ensuring everyone has timely and accurate information. HL7 is widely used worldwide and has evolved over time to support the growing needs of modern healthcare technology.
