HL7 Version 3

HL7 Version 3 is a set of international standards that enables different healthcare computer systems to exchange and understand critical patient information consistently. It defines a common language and structure for data like medical records, lab results, and prescriptions, ensuring seamless communication across hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. This standard helps improve accuracy, safety, and efficiency in healthcare by making sure everyone’s systems are "speaking the same language" when sharing sensitive health information.
