In general, the HL7 Tooling Collaborative envisions building tools that:
 
*Produce machine-processable artefacts, spanning through all stages of the message design cycle (requirements, design, implementation and testing)
 
*Support end-to-end automated testing of interoperability solutions
 
*Standardise the type and quality of the information conveyed between each stage and between communicating organisations
 
*Produce coherent, traceable and versioned concepts from analysis to implementation
 
*Facilitate direct involvement / feedback in international standards and tools development, ensuring ongoing alignment of implementation specifications with industry standards, including HL7 V3
 
*Reduce message development time, allowing the automatic translation of message designs to supplier-specific formats
 
*Facilitates consistent workflows and project management / oversight
 
*Provide a framework for publishing documentation about the artefacts generated throughout the process

The HL7 Tooling Collaborative (HTC) was a loose collaboration of organizations, led by HL7 and the NHS Connecting for Health that attempted to pool resources to develop tools that would be used to develop and use HL7 specifications to further interoperability between health care applications. The initiative was disbanded in favor of a more formal organization - Open Health Tools - that has many of the same goals.
