Mission Statement

The mission of the Attachments WG is to provide HL7 artifacts that support the exchange of additional supporting information amongst payers/utilization management organizations (UMO’s) and providers related to:

- healthcare claims or encounters - healthcare services review (e.g., prior authorizations/precertifications, referrals) - post adjudicated claim audits

Charter

The Attachment Work Group supports HL7’s mission to create and promote its standards. The Attachments Work Group will develop specifications using the principles and language of the Services Aware Interoperability Framework (SAIF) Canonical Definition (CD). The Attachments Work Group standardizes supplemental information needed to support health care insurance. Our purpose is to encourage the use of HL7 for uniform implementation of this supplemental information.

Work Products and Contributions to HL7 Processes The Attachments implementation guide is based on CDA Release 2.0 Consolidated CDA Templates built upon HL7 version 3 messaging. This guide includes Document types such as, but not limited to, Continuity of Care; History and Physical; Operative Report; Progress Notes; Diagnostic and Imaging Reports; Discharge Summary; Consultation Notes; Procedure Notes; Care Plan; Periodontal and Unstructured Documents.
