Program and messaging standards for healthcare information
HL7 or Health Level 7 is a health communications protocol for exchange of information between applications. HL7 is an ANSI accredited international standard developed by the standard development organisation HL7. HL7 version 2 is the currently most commonly implemented version of this HL7 standard. HL7 version 2.5 covers messaging of patient demographics, inpatient and emergency episode details, outpatient scheduling, referrals, pathology/radiology orders and results, prescribing/dispensing/administration and more. The next version, HL7 version 3 is being refined and is expected to gradually replace HL7 version 2 implementations
Health Level 7 (Messaging Format)
Health Level 7 (Refers to the seven layer network model popularized by ISO): Message format standards used for exchange of data between healthcare systems.

An acronym for Health Level 7, it is a standard for healthcare and is the interface standard for communication between various systems employed in the medical community.
Health Level 7. This is an ANSI accredited standard developed to allow transfer of data between different systems in healthcare. This operates at the top level of the open system integration model, the application layer ( http://www.hl7.org/ and http://www.hl7.org.uk/). See Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM), Open System Interconnection (OSI) and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE).
HL7 is a specification for a health data-interchange standard designed to facilitate the transfer of health data resident on different and disparate computer systems in a health care setting. HL7 facilitates the transfer of laboratory results, pharmacy data and other information between different computer systems. HL7 is not designed to support the transfer of the entire patient record. HL7 does not support the transfer of image data (such as from a PACS). [centc251g

Healthcare industry data exchange standard
Health Level Seven: Health Level Seven is one of several ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organizations operating in the healthcare arena with the mission to provide standards for the exchange, management and integration of data that support clinical patient care and the management, delivery and evaluation of healthcare services. Specifically, to create flexible, cost effective approaches, standards, guidelines, methodologies, and related services for interoperability between healthcare information systems.
