How can healthcare centers benefit from HL7 standards?
There is an increasing demand for healthcare centers, hospitals and healthcare physicians to receive/send critical data, healthcare reports and other important information on a constant basis. Although information is generally stored in a non-standard format, for information to get transmitted, it must be changed from one format to another format. This difficulty has brought about the need for a method to address this format conversion of information. The HL7 standard is a protocol that has been developed to address the problem of data exchange between different systems.
