Drivers(Goals, customer needs, Performance measurements)

The goal of this framework is to provide a business architecture that will enable the working groups to create content that will support the entire range of formats required by the user community, including messages, services(SOA), and Clinical Documents(CDA). Customers have varying needs to communicate within the format set listed below

• Messages: Messages make sense for those use cases where an ancillary system, such as Laboratory, is used to push data to one or many repositories.
  • Version 3(V3) The richness of HL7 Version 3 messaging makes it a prime choice for new development.
  • Version 2.x(V2) - Vertical Bar Implementations(VBAR aka ER7) will continue to be used by mature systems will for some years to come.
• Services(SOA)
• Clinical Documents(CDA): CDA will continue to be the format of choice for CCR and other document paradigms.
