- 5. Our partners
- 6. The company we keep
- 7. Healthcare Installations β UK β NHS Guys & St Thomas Foundation Trust β NHS Buckinghamshire Healthcare Trust β NHS Southend Clinical Commissioning Group β USA β Henry Ford Health System
- 9. HL7 β HL7 International was founded in 1987 β Standards Body β HL7 defines a common method of structured data exchange in healthcare β Very common to find in healthcare IT systems β EHR systems β Patient appointment booking systems β HL7 is used in over 35 countries
- 10. HL7 v2 β Started life in 1988 with version 1 β 2.1 was the first usable standard and arrived in 1991 β 2.2 to 2.7 β In 2010 2.1 was still used in over 32 countries β Very common to see 2.1/2.5 in the NHS β Subject domains β Patient demographics β Clinical observations β Scheduling of patient appointments Resources β Etc.
- 11. HL7 v2 structure β Aunit of data that is transferred between systems β Each information exchange is initiated by a trigger event and consists of one or more messages β Amessage is composed of segments in a defined sequence β Segments hold fields (data types) β The first segment of each message defines the message type and the type of trigger event that caused the message to be sent β Each segment is a sequence of data fields, separated by special data field separators (usually the pipe β|β symbol) β Each data field has a data type, which may be compound β made up of components which are separated by a component separator (usually the carat β^β symbol) β Structure is modelled onANSI X.12 and UN/EDIFACT
- 12. HL7 v2ADT β Some trigger messages can be classified underAdmission, Discharge, Treatment (ADT) β CodedA01 toA62 β A01 βAdmit β A05 β Pre-Admit β A02 β Transfer β A08 β Change patient information β etc

- 14. HL7 v2 Segments β Each message structure varies depending on the trigger β Every message holds segments β MSH β Message Header β EVN β Event Type β PID β Patient Identification β PV1 β Patient Visit
- 15. HL7 v2 PID fields (sample) Name Required Length Set ID No 4 Patient ID No 0 Patient Identifier List Yes 250 Alternate Patient ID No 0 Patient Name Yes 250 Mother's Maiden Name No 250 Date/Time of Birth No 24
- 16. HL7 v2 - Example
- 17. HL7 v3 β Newer definition of the HL7 standard β First developed in 2005 β XML based β Addresses some of the v2 issues β Schema β Structure β Extension β βSemantic Interoperabilityβ β Spec is huge (1.2 gig in size)
- 18. HL7 v3 - RIM β Primary object model (RIM) β Accounting & Billing β Pharmacy β PatientAdmission β Medical Records β Laboratory β β¦My ownβ¦. β Etc.
- 19. HL7 v3 - RIM β Domain β Story boards β Trigger events β Domain information model (D-MIM) β Refined information models (R-MIM) β Hierarchical Message Descriptions β CMET
- 20. HL7 v3 - Reference Information Model (RIM)
- 21. HL7 v3 - RIM β Red: The central block and represents an action, β Blue: Defines a participant, β Pink: Represents an act relationship to describe how acts are related, β Yellow: Describes the role of the participant, β Green: Represents the entity playing the role
- 22. HL7 v3 - RIM If I have an inpatient visit for a surgery at a hospital β The surgery is an act (red) that is a Procedure β I am participating (blue) as a Record Target β My surgeon is participating (blue) as the Performer β My role (yellow) is as a Patient, and β I am the entity (green) of a Person.
- 23. HL7 v3 - D-MIM/R-MIM β Domain Message Information Model (D-MIM) β D-MIM is based on the RIM β Models a given domain but is not the implementation β Refined Message Information Model (R-MIM) β R-MIM is derived from the parent D-MIM β Information model, shows data for a particular message
- 24. HL7 v3 - PatientAdmission D-MIM
- 25. HL7 V3 -Activate Patient R-MIM
- 26. HL7 v3 - Wrapper β Wraps a message to support the transport from sender to receiver β Transmission Wrapper β ControlAct Wrapper β Payload (the actual domain message)
- 27. HL7 v3 β Transmission Wrapper β Required β Date/Time β Identifies the sender and receiver (ID) β Identifies when acks are required for the message β Upper level and wraps β ControlAct Wrapper β Payload
- 28. HL7 v3 β ControlAct Wrapper β Used to communicate information to an interaction that triggered a message. β Message ControlAct (basic) β Query Infrastructure β Master File/Registry β Domain messages have different uses of the control act wrappers
- 29. HL7 v3 - CMET β Common Message Element Type β Reusable part of a message β E.g. Patient β Included in the domain β Isolated from the domain β Vulnerable to change β E.g. Lab states patient needs IQ then pharmacy also has it β Hides the true size of a message
- 30. HL7 v3 - Transport β Big XML messages that we need to move β MLLP (Minimum Lower Layer Protocol) β Used with v2 a lot β Limited β SOAP β The most common β XML payload β ebXML (yuck) β Standard includes a payload spec
- 31. HL7 v3 - Example
- 32. HL7 CDA β Clinical DocumentArchitecture β Represent any clinical document β e.g. Discharge Summary β Built on the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) β CDAHeader β CDABody
- 33. HL7 CDAHeader β Document Information β ID of the document, confidentiality & relationship to other documents. β Encounter data β Describes where the encounter took place, time & setting. β Service actors β Describes who interacted with service being described β Service targets β Include the patient, family members etc.
- 34. HL7 CDABody β Describes the body of the document β Adocument structure will vary, so too must a CDAbody β CDABody gives you structures to capture this β Structures β Sections β Paragraphs β Lists β Tables
- 35. HL7 CCR β Joint HL7/ASTM standard β Facilitate better cross communication between systems β CDABody can vary in structure β CCR defines templates that fix this structure
- 36. HL7 tools β Server β InterSystems Ensemble β InterfaceWare Iguana β Microsoft BizTalk β Mirth Connect β Tools β HL7 Inspector (OSS) β 7Edit (commercial
- 37. HL7 FHIR β Fast Health Interoperable Resources β The future of HL7β¦ β Free and open! β Combines parts of v2, v3 and CDAto create a new standard β Supports XML and JSON β RESTful β Working draft available by the end of 2013 with a working process through 2014 and 2015
- 38. FHIR Resources β Clinical β General -AdverseReaction, CarePlan, FamilyHistory etc β Medications - Medication, MedicationPrescription etc β Diagnostics β Observation, DiagnosticReport β Administrative β Attribution β Patient, RelatedPerson, Practictioner β Resources β Device, Location β Workflow β Encounter,Alert β Bundles β Combined resources
- 39. FHIR REST β Resources expose certain logical interactions β Create (POST) β Read (GET) β Update (PUT) β Delete (DELETE) β Bundles β History (GET) β Search (GET)
- 40. FHIR Security β HTTPS/SSL β OAuth β Authorization/Access control β HL7 Healthcare Classification System β Access/data segmentation β Audit β Security events β Provenance
- 41. So all good?
- 42. The protection of patient data is critical β Thus itβs not truly open β Access is limited β Data is limited β Storage is almost impossible β Security is paramount β HIPAA
- 43. How best to work with patient data β Agree with the trust what you need and what you can see β Caldicott Guardian β ISO 27001 β Point to point β SSL 256 β Accredited data storage (or just donβt do it) β Encrypt the storage, not the data. β 256 at minimum
- 44. More information β Web β HL7 international (http://www.hl7.org) β HL7 UK charter (http://www.hl7.org.uk/) β Books β Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED (Tim Benson)
