Latest revision as of 15:29, 22 September 2016

  Warning: Archived web page, CGIT has been renamed to Conformance. Please see current Conformance_Workgroup page for latest information.

Note: during the May2011 WGM the Implementation and Conformance WG has renamed itself to clarify the scope.

Note: during the May2007 WGM the Implementation Committee and the Conformance SIG became a new TC. See draft ImpConf Mission and Charter and Actions for ImpConf merger. The Implementation committee was formally wound up, and the Implementation Conformance TC (ICTC) was formed.

Conformance and Guidance for Implementation/Testing

This wiki page is a merger of the content from the two committee's original wiki pages.

The HL7 Implementation committee supports HL7 members and other users of HL7 (draft) standard specifications, with the identification and resolution of issues related to successful implementation thereof.

This Wiki is used to develop an implementation FAQ, as well as a place to maintain and evolve ideas that have been discussed in committee. Formal minutes and agendas will still be maintained and posted to the HL7.org website - with this space providing for a more fluid development of content, where meeting notes will be fleshed out beyond what may have been said in the meeting, and then used as the basis for other documents. The page history can be used to see what has been added since a particular meeting.

External documents

  • Example implementation guide
  • Examples:
    • CDA Release 2, see [1] (10 Mb) for a collection of CDA R2 examples, stylesheets and implementation guides. Examples from various realms. A more up-to-date version of this example collection is available here.
    • Normative Edition 2006 examples and schema, see NE2006 Examples. The examples include examples from multiple Realms for multiple domains (e.g. Patient Admin, Lab, Medical Records)
    • May2006 Ballot schema and schema, see German Realm May2006 Examples. Most examples are related to Patient Registries or Financial Coverage. Some schema have been constrained to fit the requirements of the German realm.
    • NICTIZ (AORTA) schema and examples (mostly based on ballot 7), see Dutch Realm Ballot7 Examples. Most examples are related to PA, Pharmacy, Patient Care.

The Conformance Facilitator is a designated team member of a project intending to create an Implementation Guide of a existing HL7 standard (i.e. Product Line). The Conformance Facilitator is expected to have

  • implementing or testing solutions using of the base standard (e.g. HL7 Version 2.7, HL7 Version 3.0, HL7 CDA R2, HL7 FHIR)
  • representing interoperability requirements as base standard data element constraints, vocabulary specification, or functional criteria as required by the IG

The Conformance Facilitator informs the project team about conformance criteria, concepts, and best practices to create testable implementation guides.
