HL7 Version 3 Standard: Transport Specifications - ebXML

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the ebXML message wrapper is to provide a secure, flexible transport for exchanging HL7 messages and other content, and potentially other message formats, between message handling interfaces or ebXML Message Service Handlers (ebXML MSH). The ebXML Transport supports reliable messaging, encryption, authentication and digital signatures, and exchange of messages over a variety of lower level transports such as HTTP, SMTP and TCP/IP.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES

HL7 Version 3 Standard: Transport Specifications - ebXML may also go by the following names or acronyms:

"V3: Transport Specification - ebXML, Release 1"

TARGETS

  • Healthcare Institutions
  • Healthcare IT Vendors
  • National Health Information Exchange Infrastructures

BENEFITS

  • Provides a secure, flexible transport for exchanging HL7 message and content 
  • Supports reliable messaging, encryption, authentication and digital signatures

IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES

  • in development

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The HL7 Message Transport Specification documents provide details as to the usage of a variety of communication transports for the exchange of HL7 based content, messages and documents. Currently, there are specification documents for MLLP, SOAP-Web Services and ebXML.

 

These transport specifications are not to be confused with the content of transmission infrastructure. Transmission infrastructure describes the information model, messages and interactions related to the assembly of an HL7 Version 3 composite message. The transport specifications address moving the message payload (the HL7 Version 3 composite message and/or HL7 Version 2 composite message) from sender to receiver. These transports are all capable of moving HL7 Version 3 composite messages and may also support moving HL7 Version 2 and Clinical Document Architecture (CDA®) composite messages.
