Top What are the risks associated with developing new messages based on HL7 that are not formally approved by HL7 Canada or HL7 (international)?
• Only two methods exist for seeking formal approval of message specifications based on HL7. These include: • Submitting and defending change proposals at and between international conferences for inclusion in future versions of the international standard (e.g. to Version 3 or to Version 2.5); and • Submitting and defending implementation specifications proposals (based on released versions of HL7, e.g. Version 2.4) to the HL7 Canada membership for use in Canada. Risks associated with avoiding formal approval: • In general: • Limited or fragmented dissemination of the specification, particularly with respect to the ‘real’ HL7 Standard. • Cannot claim to be part of the HL7 standard. Potential infringement of HL7 copyright (depending on how much of the non-standard documentation is based on HL7). • Internationally: • Lack of ongoing technical coordination and harmonization with the international standard. • Nationally: • Lack of technical coordination with other “pan-Canadian” HL7-relate
