The HL7 Fundamentals Course is fundamentally different. This introductory, 12-week workshop uses a set of guided exercises to learn by practice and example.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Confront a project involving interoperability among disjointed healthcare information systems
- Read the most widely used HL7 standards
- Understand the need for controlled vocabularies, master files and entity registries
- Read and write V2.X messages
- Read and write CDA® R2 documents
- Identify FHIR® specifications and resources
- Decide when to use each artifact (messages, documents)
