by Matthew ~ April 26th, 2007. Filed under: HL7 101, Tips.Gillogley Services has a great article with some tips about how to plan and execute a successful HL7 project. Any big integration project is going to have unique challenges and HL7 is exceptional at providing them. Here is Gillogley’s recommended approach…
- Business requirements analysis - the review of the overall projects business requirements and the role that HL7 interfacing will play in the realisation of those requirements.
- Application analysis- the review of the applications required to be integrated (using HL7 interfaces) in order to achieve the project business requirements.
- HL7 interface requirements - documentation of specific HL7 interface requirements identified as a result of business analysis and application analysis.
- HL7 interface specification - describes how the HL7 requirements will be realised in actual interface software components.
- HL7 interface testing- includes test planning, actual interface testing (such as HL7 interface unit testing, HL7 interface system testing and HL7 integration testing).
