Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

HL7 Version 3 was developed to provide semantically reliable healthcare interoperability but has been perceived as overly complex to implement. This paper summarizes a semantic mapping technique to simplify usage of HL7 Version 3 and reports on the rationale for adopting this approach in three particular use cases and lessons learned from the practical application experience. We envision a broad application of the semantic mapping approach in both messaging and application design modelling.
