This is especially useful for implementers, service/support engineers, and system administrators. Not only will you get a thorough overview of the HL7 standard, you will get to do hands-on exercises and look at messaging in great detail.
Detailed Learning Objectives
You will get a basic understanding of the HL7 standard and learn to generate and troubleshoot HL7 messages using a simple but powerful software tool. Much of the operation of a healthcare enterprise relies on administrative and/or order information generated by HL7 messages. In addition, results captured as part of the Electronic Patient Record also depend on imaging as a source for their information. Therefore, all relevant HL7 messages will be explained in detail using a real-life scenario. Several transactions from the IHE technical framework will be described as well.
