HL7 Fundamentals Course (formerly HL7's eLearning course)

Learning by Doing

Next Course Starts August 15, 2013

The HL7 Fundamentals Course is fundamentally different with regard to an exposition course. It is a web-based workshop, a set of guided exercises that teaches by practice and example, not by exposition.

At the end of the course, participants should:

  • Know how to confront a project involving interoperability among disjointed healthcare information systems.
  • Know how to 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 V3 messages.
  • Read and Write CDA® R2 documents.
  • Know when to use each artifact (messages, documents).

Web-Based Training

  • HL7 Certified Teachers helping you step-by-step.
  • Reading material developed by our tutors.
  • Bibliographic material.
  • Discussion forums.
  • Glossary.
  • Integration activities stewarded by the teaching team.
