Hi, there is no question about hl7 inside Care2x. It will be used simply based on the fact that hl7 is being used by other applications and Care2x must be able to communicate with every kind of interface as possible. Just like the abstraction layer for database. It is sad that there is still no such thing as abstraction layer for health communication (oh, could be a new open-source project, any takers?).
Anyway, for those who are in need of hl7 capability, you should develop your components based on your actual needs. You can simplify your work by using the php_hl7 tools and you can communicate with Docu Dokter for eventual assistance. thanks, elpidio On Monday 02 August 2004 00:44, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Adding some notes to the discussion: at the moment HL7 is gaining > popularity as the standard for medical information exchange within > institutions.
