Integrations Leveraging HL7

HL7 has been one of the most consistent and widely used integration methods within healthcare. Here at Kipu, we understand that if there is an interface to build, there is a good chance it will leverage the HL7 methodology. However, everyone in healthcare implements the standard a little differently. With that in mind, we've created an HL7 integration component built strictly on HL7.org standards.

Kipu Integration Foundation

Kipu based the HL7 specification that has been leveraged to support integration on standards established and maintained by HL7 International. Founded in 1987, Health Level Seven International (HL7) is a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited standards developing organization dedicated to providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information that supports clinical practice and the management, delivery and evaluation of health services.
