Overview

HL7 was first established as a standard in the late 1980’s as a collaborative effort between healthcare systems vendors and hospitals. The standard established a message format that different systems could use to exchange health data. The name HL7 was chosen because the original concept was to define message structures based upon the seventh level of the ideal network model. The Internet was not in widespread use at that time and most hospital networks varied considerably. For these reasons and more the HL7 standard was set up to define messages and not how those messages were actually sent. Version 2 was released and has been in use for over 20 years. Offering a lot of options and flexibility, the V2.x series of messages are widely used and very successful. Widespread adoption of HL7’s V2 is also due in part to its flexibility. It contains many optional data elements and data segments, making it easily adaptable to any use. The options also contributes the support of reliable conformance testing.

HL7 Standard Formats for Data Interchange

Health Gorilla uses the Health Level Seven (HL7) standard to enable Diagnostic Labs and Radiology Centers to exchange data with the Health Gorilla Online Healthcare Marketplace. This protocol allows us to support the transmission of data between Doctor’s offices, Diagnostic Facilities and the Health Gorilla Marketplace.

Facilitating Electronic Data Exchange Health Level Seven (HL7) is an application protocol for electronic data exchange in health care environments. The HL7 protocol is a collection of standard formats which specify the implementation of interfaces between computer applications from different vendors and HG. Flexibility is built into the protocol to allow compatibility for specialized data sets that have facility-specific needs. It can be described as a standard series of predefined logical formats for packaging healthcare data in the form of messages to be transmitted among computer systems. A message is a collection of data that sends information about an event which is typically a Diagnostic Lab order or result.

Introduction to HL7 Standards HL7 and its members provide a framework (and related standards) for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information. These standards define how information is packaged and communicated from one party to another, setting the language, structure and data types required for seamless integration between systems. Instead of having to write specifications from scratch each time data needs to be sent between two systems, reference can be made between a uniform document whose definitions assist in providing a common understanding to both systems.

HL7 Benefits Healthcare Providers Hospitals, diagnostic labs, radiology centers and other healthcare provider organizations typically have many different computer systems used for everything from billing records to patient tracking. HL7 specifies a number of flexible standards, guidelines, and methodologies by which various healthcare systems can communicate with each other. Such guidelines or data standards are a set of rules that allow information to be shared and processed in a uniform and consistent manner. These data standards are meant to allow healthcare organizations to easily share clinical information.

Communication Protocol The HL7 Standard defines only the seventh level of the Open System Inter-connect (OSI) protocol. This is the application level. Levels 1-6 involve primarily communication protocols. The HL7 Standard provides some guidance in this area.

TCP/IP and HL7 Minimal Lower Level Protocol (MLLP) The interface between systems is established via a persistent or a transient (non-persistent) TCP/IP connection. Two TCP sockets provide bi-directional communications between each participating system. Within the context of the TCP socket, each participating system will connect as the client when it initiates a message. The other system will connect as the server to receive messages from the listen state. This interface uses the HL7 Minimal Lower Layer Protocol to format messages for data interchange, including acknowledgement messages. This protocol relies on the Message Header (MSH) Segment to define encoding, routing and acknowledgement rules governing the message.

Application Processing Rules The HL7 Standard describes the basic rules for application processing by the sending and receiving systems. Information contained in the Standard is not repeated here.

Integration with Health Gorilla’s Online Healthcare Marketplace

This specification is designed to provide information to diagnostic labs and radiology center partners sufficient to assist in the development of an interface between their lab information systems and Health Gorilla’s (HG) online healthcare marketplace. This document explains the technical details of our HL7 standard support. Interface development between HG and our vendors is approved by our business development team, then scheduled and managed by our engineering and development organization. We work in conjunction with our vendor partners to spend time analyzing and planning our interface to ensure that both parties are using the same optional features. Our interfaces support the transmission of HL7 data and HL7 encapsulated .PDF’s as well as DICOM IOD’s and DICOM encapsulated .PDF.
