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.
