HL7 Version 3 Standard: Transmission Infrastructure, Release 2

DESCRIPTION

The Health Level Seven (HL7) Standard applies to the electronic exchange of data in all healthcare environments. Within the context of healthcare messaging, the HL7 standard is primarily concerned with the data content of exchanges between healthcare applications, the sequence or interrelationships in the flow of messages and the communication of significant application level exceptions or error conditions. This domain addresses the following aspects about the communications environment that is considered common to all HL7 Version 3 messaging implementations:

1. A specification for the composite HL7 version 3 message
2. A protocol for reliable message delivery
3. Generic "Communication Roles" that support the modes of HL7 messaging
4. Message control events that describe a framework for generic HL7 messaging
