HL7 is a shared messaging standard, much like XML or JSON. The shared standard does allow for communication between applications, but its rather unruly.

- mrighele 6y agoI would say that HL7 is more like a XML + a set of XML schemas. In any case, you're right that it is only a messaging standard, but I have always seen it used in the contest of having a central broker like Mirth passing messages around so it is in my opinion a good example of what the parent poster was thinking about. And yes, you're right, it is quite unruly (information being present in one field or another depending on the software and the like). In my experience luckily most of those issues could be handled at the broker level.
