772 words - 4 pages

“A health information exchange (HIE) consists of the technology, standards, and governance that enable the exchange of data between the information systems of various health care stakeholders”- (Wager, et.al, 2009) This is because a system that corresponds with different standard cannot work with each other, therefore the need of standards were developed. Ad Hoc, De facto, Government Mandate, and Consensus are the four methods that have been used to developed IT standards in USA. However, with the booming IT industry and the introduction of WWW and Internet the web standards are now developed by much less formal groups.
In my research, I came across a website named HLN Consulting LLC where different types of standards were explained in technical and quite simple terms.

HL7 Version 2 messages are most commonly used in the healthcare sector for the exchange of laboratory results, patient admissions, discharges and transfers and many other types of information.

The purpose was to specify a set of protocols for the network communications and media storage, including a file format and a medical directory structure.
c) National Council on Prescription Drug Programs – NCPDP promotes the standard for the transfer of data among pharmacies. NCPDP offers its members a support, resources, educational opportunities and database services. Their standard...
