In preparation for the contribution
of IHE XDS/PIX-PDQ client APIs to OHF, I have been going what we have been
using to model HL7 messaging. It is quite heterogeneous and will take work
to pull all the pieces together under a useful model. Currently XDS and
PIX/PDQ depend on subsets of the v2.5 and v2.3.1 messaging standards, respectively.
Next year IHE has proposed to migrate to v3 for PIX/PDQ.
My question for you: What do (should)
we intend to have for HL7 on OHF?
If it can meet the needs above it would
be benificial to use it, rather than re-invent, yet again, on our side.
I can provide more details as needed.
Many thanks,
