Abstract:
With the development of the technology in medical informatics area, Health Level Seven (HL7) Standard for electronic data exchange in all healthcare environments has become a widely used standard. To bring it into practice in China, we developed an HL7 gateway. The gateway is used to connect two different medical information systems, a Hospital Information System (HIS) and a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), via the HL7 message exchanging. The system verified the feasibility of HL7 standard and made a good example for further research and development.
