Mission
This group supports the HL7 mission to create and promote its standards by maintenance and further development of the Arden Syntax, a standard for representing and sharing clinical knowledge in Medical Logic Modules.
Charter
The Arden Syntax Work Group will develop future versions of the Arden Syntax, with the goals of facilitating its use for representing procedural medical knowledge and promoting knowledge sharing.
Toward this end, it also will identify existing HL7 messages and triggers that might be usable for decision support and contribute these to the appropriate work groups. The Arden Syntax Work Group will collaborate with other work groups to promote clinical executable knowledge sharing. This will include updates to the HL7 Reference Information Model and other HL7 standards as well as development of standards for queries and vocabularies.
