This specification replaces the earlier published document: HL7 V3 Templates: HL7 Version 3 Standard: Specification and Use of Reusable Constraint Templates, Release 2 published in February 2008
HL7 V3 provides a global framework for exchange of healthcare information as documents or messages or services by providing a framework for constructing instances of data according to agreed definitions in a standard fashion. The globally agreed definitions are often fairly general in nature due to the intention of their scope or the requirements to be globally suitable, and a framework for making additional rules for more specific knowledge models is required. Templates are used to provide this framework within the context of HL7 V3 and especially the Clinical Document Architecture.
This document builds on the existing template specifications or drafts, e.g.
This implementation guide describes how templates are specified, registered, used and exchanged. It describes how to exchange template definitions using an Implementable Technology Specification (ITS). It covers template characteristics, versioning of templates and definitions of relationships that exist for templates. It also explains how to use and validate template references in XML instances.
