About


What is the HL7 Canada Community?

The HL7 Canada Community is a place to share and learn about the use of HL7 related pan-Canadian health information standards. HL7 Canada promotes and supports the domestic and international harmonization of HL7 standards to enable the sharing of health information in Canada. HL7 Canada also ensures that consensus positions, advice and decisions are reached with appropriate consultation and in an open, transparent, and accountable manner without a preponderance of influence by any one stakeholder group.

This community is where requests to make changes to any of the pan-Canadian messages occur and where implementers come for OID requests in Canada or find Canadian OIDs in the HL7 OID Registry.

Canada is proud to have a thriving HL7 Canada Constituency and actively participates in HL7 Ballots.

Dear HL7 Community, At HL7 the security of your data is a top priority. To strengthen our security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, we are introducing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as part of our login process. What is MFA? MFA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring two forms of identification when logging in. You will need both your password and a code from an authenticator app to access your account. When is MFA being implemented? MFA will be required starting November 21st, 2024. Once implemented, you will not be able to log in without completing MFA setup. What You Need A mobile device with an authenticator app installed to generate the MFA code is preferred; however, you may use a computer. The recommended method for enabling MFA is through the Salesforce Authenticator app, available for both Android and iOS devices.
