Yeah, healthcare standards are peculiar..
Not just HL7 though, I find that a lot of the communication formats (with government services etc) are either badly documented or badly designed. Usually, both.
- nradov 8y agoHave you taken the time to enter formal change requests for problems you have found in HL7 standards? Implementers are encouraged to do so, and the HL7 work groups do take those requests seriously. Sometimes you have to take active steps to improve the situation.
- Insanity 8y agoFor HL7 I have not done so because I don't actively work with it(apart from helping a colleague every now and then). For other formats provided by the (Belgian) government I have. And even made some PRs to their services :) Which they did merge and overal they do seem open to improvements of their systems and standards.
