Health Level Seven (HL7) is a standard for exchanging healthcare information that is nearly ubiquitous throughout healthcare and is used in several IHE integration profiles. This course will give an overview of HL7 and introduce Mirth Connect. Mirth Connect is an open source standards-based healthcare integration engine. Mirth Connect facilitates the routing, filtering, and transformation of messages between health information systems over a variety of protocols (like LLP, Database, and FTP) with support for numerous standards (such as HL7, XML, and DICOM). Attendees in this session will gain a foundational, working knowledge of this software and how it can most effectively be used in one’s institution. |
