Table of Contents
Design Repository: The repository to use with RoseTree and the RMIM Designer.
PubDB: The PubDb is a set of linked forms in Access supported by additional VBA code. It serves as a vehicle to document the dynamic or interaction model of a technical committee's design.
RMIM Designer Current: The HL7 RMIM Designer is a graphic designer that supports the design of HL7 static information models. The Current variant of this tool is built upon customized "templates" in Microsoft Visio; a suite of Visual Basic software that runs in the Visio application space; and modules (DLL's) from the RoseTree program. The tool provides an interactive design capability for HL7 RMIMs, and is programmed to use data from the RIM, Vocabulary, and Data Types specifications to enforce the model design rules expressed in the HL7 V3 Methodology.
RoseTree: RoseTree is a donated Visual Basic (VB) application that functions as an interface to the HL7 repository for several other applications, including the current RMIM Designer, the PubDb and the V3 Generator (for which RoseTree creates source files). In addition, it provides a browser for the HL7 RIM and Vocabulary; builds RMIMs and HMDs from Visio designs; and manages the repository storage of these.
V3 Generator: The V3 Generator accepts the XML expressions of an HMD and, through a series of transforms, generates HL7 artifacts including: Static schemas, Interaction schemas, HTML table views, CSV files for Excel views and MIF files for static models, data types, and vocabulary.
caAdapter: caAdapter, developed by NCICB, has a component based architecture that offers a tool set to support HL7 v3 message generation capability.
HL7 Eclipse Tooling: The Eclipse-based tooling is maintained in the Open Health Tools' (OHT) software repository, also known as the Open Health Forge. The current release of the HL7 V3 Eclipse-based tooling is bundled in a package called the Open Health Workbench. Click here to view instructions on how to download and install the Workbench tool on Windows or Mac OS X.
HL7 V3 Publishing Tools: Provide a general project for developing and managing the software and related tools used to support the development and Publishing of V3 textual content.
Implementation Guide: This project provides tools for the creation and publication of implementation guides for HL7 V3 specifications. Initial creation funded by NLM.
Messaging Workbench: The Messaging Workbench is a multipurpose productivity tool for HL7 V2.x implementers. It facilitates rapid development of specifications and reports. It also incorporates an online message validation service, and message generator for use in testing.
MIF Schemas: The HL7 Model Interchange Format (MIF) defines a series of schemas for XML files that will hold the content of HL7 Version 3 specifications.
MIF Utilities: This is a set of tools used in the comparison of MIFs.
PubDb Manager: The PubDb Manager is a widget created to facilitate the alignment of artifact status across PubDbs and Design Repositories, and the merger of PubDbs, both across domains and within a domain.
UML Tooling: This project contains UML modeling tools that support development of HL7 standards. It includes a UML profile for HDF (additional HL7 metadata added to UML models), importing MIF to UML, and Eclipse UI extensions for HL7 modeling.
V2-V3 Mapping: This mapping tool supports a tabular form of V2-V3 mappings, which can be imported or exported from the tool either in tables (Excel) or in XML.
Vocabulary Tooling: A graphical user interface to allow users to browse, search, and edit the contents of the HL7 vocabulary by creating machine processible vocabulary change events (i.e. Harmonization Proposals).
Web Widget: This web widget component enables XML-based authoring of Healthcare standards payloads. It simplifies the buildup of HL7 markup for V3 based rich text, namely <hl7:text> element, and better enables richer web applications based on Ajax and XForms.
DESD: This project is intended to be used by the Domain Experts Steering Division (DESD) for issue tracking, tasks tracking, surveys, version control, and document management.
Electronic Services: The Electronic Services Work Group is appointed by the Board of Directors to oversee and prioritize HL7 headquarters’ electronic services with a mission of optimizing all forms of electronic interaction with the HL7.org.
Financial Management: This is a project homepage of the Financial Management (FM) Technical Committee for developing new releases of FIAB, FICR, and various CMETs as well as a new domain for coverage, FICO.
HL7 Development Framework (HDF): This project is intended to define and maintain the methodology applied by all the committees for project initiation, requirements analysis, standard design, implementation, standard approval process, etc.
Laboratory WG: This Work Group project helps to assure that the HL7 V3 messages and models concerning laboratory related information address all of the requirements of the many stakeholders and variations in different countries.
MnM Project: This is the Modeling and Methodology project page. It supports various trackers and other management functions.
Orders and Observations: The goal of this project is to define messages to support the order communication and observation reporting processing requirements between the stakeholders in the healthcare organization regarding patients, people, other species, or inanimate objects.
Patient Administration: This project focuses on the Personnel Management domain consisting of Provider Registries, Organization Registries, Human Resources and Regulatory (credentials).
Pharmacy WG: The Pharmacy WG project contains all the artifacts being developed for the PORX Ballot Content.
PHER: This project is intended to be used by the Public Health and Emergency Response (PHER) Work Group for issues and tasks tracking, version control of source artifacts, and document management.
Project Services: The mission of Project Services Work Group is to support the HL7 mission to create and promote its standards by providing the project management infrastructure and services in support of work group activities.
RIMBAA WG: This is a project homepage for HL7 RIMBAA WG. The project currently contains two packages: Jsig and JsigAPI.
Security WG: The purpose and scope of this project includes incorporation of additional RBAC permission vocabulary (e.g. Healthcare Financial Transactions), Privacy Consents and Constraints.
T3SD: This project aims to help the Technical and Support Services Steering Division (T3SD) to manage tasks, strategies, and administrative documents.
Templates: This is a project page for HL7 Templates Work Group. It supports various trackers and other management functions.
TSC: This project is intended to be used by the TSC for issue tracking, tasks tracking, surveys, version control, and document management.
CBCC: The mission of the CBCC (Community-based Collaborative Care) project is to facilitate the development of HL7 standards and related activities specific to supporting the provision of care and servcies to individuals in community and non-acute residential care settings.
HL7 Roadmap 2009: This project will track the tasks associated with the HL7 Roadmap.
HL7 V3 Ballot Packages: The function of this project is to capture and version the source material used to assemble each of the ballot packages starting with Ballot 6, published in December 2003.
HL7 V3 Editions: The function of this project is to capture and version the source material used to assemble each of the V3 Editions starting with Normative Edition 2005.
MITA Project: The HL7 Medicaid Information Technology Architecture Project: Development of information models, vocabulary, and message/service standards supporting Medicaid health information exchange requirements, including EHRS and PHRS functional model profiles.
Publishing Tool Kit: This project provides a shared single source for the transforms and other tools that are used to develop and publish the V3 specifications.
SAEAF: This project focuses on Services Aware Enterprise Architecture Framework (SAEAF) and Behavioral Framework (BF).
Templates Registry: The HL7 Template Registry is expected to be implemented in conjunction with Open Health Tools as part of a Shared Artifact Repository. This project will follow the development of the Templates Registry service from the inception through to deployment.
TermInfo DSTU: The TermInfo Topic - Using SNOMED CT in HL7 Version 3: Implementation Guide, Release 1.4 has been declared a Draft Standard For Trial Use (DSTU). This project will track feedback and issue resolution from early adopters.
