Explore the essential standards that enable seamless, secure, and accurate exchange of health data ranging from messaging protocols like HL7 to structured documents and standardized medical terminologies like SNOMED-CT
Messaging standards that define the structure and format of data exchange between healthcare systems. HL7 v2 uses a pipe-delimited format for clinical and administrative messages, while HL7 v3 uses XML for more structured and robust data exchange.
Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is an HL7 document standard that structures clinical documents such as discharge summaries and progress notes using XML, enabling standardized clinical document exchange.
Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) is a comprehensive, multilingual clinical terminology that provides standardized vocabulary for clinical concepts, supporting consistent data representation and decision support.
