However, since the earlier policy as described in the Bylaws of October 2002 placed the HL7 protocol specifications in the Public Domain, and under 17 USC § 102 there is no copyright protection for an " idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery ", this revised policy may not be enforceable.

The HL7 Version 3 Development Framework ( HDF ) is a continuously evolving process that seeks to develop specifications that facilitate interoperability between healthcare systems.

The HL7 RIM, vocabulary specifications, and model-driven process of analysis and design combine to make HL7 Version 3 one methodology for development of consensus-based standards for healthcare information system interoperability.

The HDF not only documents messaging, but also the processes, tools, actors, rules, and artifacts relevant to development of all HL7 standard specifications.

Eventually, the HDF will encompass all of the HL7 standard specifications, including any new standards resulting from analysis of electronic health record architectures and requirements.

The V3 vocabulary work ensures that the systems implementing HL7 specifications have an unambiguous understanding of the code sources and code value domains they are using.

These data are sent from HIS to RIS via integration interface, in most of hospital, via HL7 protocol.

Diagnosis Report is sent back to HIS via HL7 usually and Images are sent back to HIS via DICOM usually if there is a DICOM Viewer integrated with HIS in hospitals ( In most of cases, Clinical Physician gets reminder of Diagnosis Report coming and then queries images from PACS Server ).

HL7 International currently asserts that business use of the HL7 standards requires a paid organizational membership in HL7, Inc. HL7 Members can access standards for free, and non-members can buy the standards from HL7, ANSI, or for some standards, ISO.

Health Level Seven ( HL7 ), is a non-profit organization involved in the development of international healthcare informatics interoperability standards.

" HL7 " also refers to some of the specific standards created by the organization ( e. g., HL7 v2. x, v3. 0, HL7 RIM ).

HL7 and its members provide a framework ( and related standards ) for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information.

HL7 is an international community of healthcare subject matter experts and information scientists collaborating to create standards for the exchange, management and integration of electronic healthcare information.

HL7 promotes the use of such informatics standards within and among healthcare organizations to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare information delivery for the benefit of all.

* Health Level Seven, Inc. ( HL7, Inc. ) is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

* HL7 affiliate organizations, not-for-profit organizations incorporated in local jurisdictions, exist in over 40 countries.

The organizational structure of HL7 Inc. is as follows:

The Working Group is responsible for defining the HL7 standard protocol and is composed of Standing Administrative Committees and Working Groups.

HL7 was founded in 1987 to produce a standard for hospital information systems.

HL7, Inc. is a standards organization that was accredited in 1994 by the American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ).

HL7 is one of several American National Standards Institute accredited Standards Developing Organizations ( SDOs ) operating in the healthcare arena.

Today, HL7 has been adopted by several national SDOs outside the United States.

However, HL7 is now adopted by ISO as a centre of gravity in international standardization and accredited as a partnering organization for mutual issuing of standards.

The Subscriber Identity Module Expert Group was a committee of specialists assembled by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ( ETSI ) to draw up the specifications ( GSM 11. 11 ) for interfacing between smart cards and mobile telephones.

The plan was, first, to persuade the Directors to resign, then, second, to get the Council of Ancients and the Council of Five Hundred ( the upper and lower houses of the legislature ) to appoint a pliant commission that would draw up a new constitution to the plotters ' specifications.

Around this time the War Office and Air Ministry began to draw up specifications for several types of military gliders to be used by the unit, which would eventually take the form of the General Aircraft Hotspur, General Aircraft Hamilcar, Airspeed Horsa and the Slingsby Hengist.

In September 1978, the company demonstrated an optical digital audio disc with a 150 minute playing time, 44, 056 Hz sampling rate, 16-bit linear resolution, and cross-interleaved error correction code — specifications similar to those later settled upon for the standard Compact Disc format in 1980.

This draft was based upon the following earlier specifications: unpublished IMAP2bis. TXT document, RFC1176, and RFC1064 ( IMAP2 ).

The immediate culinary precursor with a direct connection to the English sandwich was to be found in the Netherlands of the 17th century, where the naturalist John Ray observed that in the taverns beef hung from the rafters " which they cut into thin slices and eat with bread and butter laying the slices upon the butter "— explanatory specifications that reveal the Dutch belegde broodje, open faced sandwich, was as yet unfamiliar in England.

However, it never saw wartime service with the Allies, as the designs and specifications had deliberately been destroyed upon the outbreak of war and there was no time for reverse engineering.

Thus, misfit provides invaluable diagnostic tools for test developers, allowing the hypotheses upon which test specifications are based to be empirically tested against data.

Costs for high end video borescopes can range from about $ 10, 000 to $ 50, 000 depending upon manufacturer, options and specifications.

The live distributed objects programming model builds upon this observation ; it uses the concept of a distributed data flow to characterize the behavior of a complex distributed system in terms of message patterns, using high-level, functional-style specifications.

One outcome of a successful test plan should be a record or report of the verification of all design specifications and requirements as agreed upon by all parties.

This agreement can come either because both follow the official MIDI standard specifications, or else in the case of any non-standard functionality, because the message meanings are directly agreed upon by the two manufacturers.

Market interest in the product quickly ended when Microsoft announced the DirectX specifications, based upon polygon rendering.

The call signaling protocol is one layer of the overall PacketCable suite of specifications and relies upon companion protocol specifications to provide complete end-to-end PacketCable functionality.

Later DMG's successful Mercedes models based upon race cars designed by Wilhelm Maybach to the specifications of Emil Jellinek ( who wanted a more modern and safer car, following the death of Willhelm Bauer in a Daimler racer ) changed the board's outlook in favour of the automobile.

In the United States, exact specifications for emergency windows in bedrooms are given in many building codes.

Because the actual bond stress varies along the length of a bar anchored in a zone of tension, current international codes of specifications use the concept of development length rather than bond stress.

They may also be used for technical reasons in actual reality for use in the development of specifications, such as the fictional country of Bookland, which is used to allow EAN " country " codes 978 and 979 to be used for ISBN numbers assigned to books, and code 977 to be assigned for use for ISSN numbers on magazines and other periodicals.

Barrier free is also a term that applies to handicap accessibility in situations where legal codes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Guidelines don't make specifications.

Test Coverage is derived from design specifications and other requirements, such as safety standards or regulatory codes, where each requirement or specification of the design ideally will have one or more corresponding means of verification.

In a standard contract the designer is responsible to the owner to review the work of the builder to be sure the products and methods meet specifications and codes.

specifications offer two result codes for this

There are specifications for projects, environment lists, APIs, functions, types and error codes.
