HL7's HIMSS 2012 Exhibit

Powered by HL7

The future of health information technology powered by HL7.

From the start, our community of experts and information scientists has been creating solutions for health information data exchange. In 2012 Health Level Seven International (HL7®) celebrates 25 years as the global authority for standards and interoperability in health information technology. With members in more than 50 countries and more than 35 international affiliates, HL7 sets the bar for excellence in HIT standards. The future is in our hands. HL7's power continues to drive the dynamic potential of technology to meet tomorrow's health information needs.

HL7 creates the best, most widely used standards in the world.

HL7 members and volunteers work collaboratively with healthcare stakeholders around the world to develop interoperability standards and specifications for electronic health records, personal health records, laboratory data, claims attachments and other initiatives to enhance connectivity in the healthcare system. Our interoperability standards improve care delivery, optimize workflow and enhance the exchange of knowledge among healthcare providers, government agencies, the vendor community, other standards development organizations and patients.
