HL7 Version 3 Standard: Orders; Diet and Nutrition, Release 1

DESCRIPTION

The HL7 v3 Nutrition Orders Standard – Universal Realm is a messaging specification intended to standardize the electronic transmission and exchange of nutrition orders including oral diets, enteral nutrition (tube feeding and infant formula requirements) and nutritional supplements in health care facilities across the continuum of care.  Nutrition orders along with documented food allergies, intolerances and food preferences are required to safely provide inpatients or residents with nutritionally appropriate foods.  A hospital or long-term care facility's Food & Nutrition Services or Dietetics department needs a diet order to notify the staff that a patient is able and allowed to eat; or requires alternative sources of nutrition such as enteral or parenteral nutrition.  Computerized Food and Nutrition Management Systems (FNMS) used by Dietetics and Food & Nutrition Services departments in hospitals and long-term care facilities depend on HL7 interfaces to exchange data with hospital information systems (HIS), electronic health record (EHR) systems, and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems.

 

Note:   The scope of the Nutrition Orders Standard does not include parenteral nutrition as those orders require coordination with the pharmacy domain.
