- From Tom Beale at Woland's Cat: How could HL7 refresh?
- From Grahame Grieve at Health Intersections: HL7 Fresh Look Task Force
- From Barry Smith in The Cancer Letter: caBIG has another fundamental problem: it relies on "incoherent" messaging standard
HL7 (Health Level 7) is a collection of standards and proposals for healthcare-specific data exchange between computer applications. Considerable efforts are being invested by governments and industry to use HL7 as part of national health IT projects. Many claims are made on behalf of HL7 by its advocates. The goal of this blog is to investigate the merits of these claims, and to provide some needed independent perspective on the HL7 project.

HL7 Refresh
Here, continuing the theme of "the fall of the RIM", are some recent contributions on the future of HL7:
Barry, Thanks for creating this blog I agree hl7 needs to be scrapped. To be blunt the hl7 committee is inept and out of touch. What is it about the committee that lead to this? Is it simply that the members are not qualified to do this? But then we have to ask how could that happen? More importantly how can a better committee be formed.
