HL7 and IHTSDO Expand Collaborative Efforts

Health Level Seven® Inc. (HL7®), the global authority for interoperability and standards in health information technology, and the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO®), the leading provider of standardized clinical terminology, today announced that they have expanded collaborative efforts that began in March 2009 with the signing of an official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two organizations. The closer collaboration will foster healthcare information interoperability and lead to improvements in patient safety by further facilitating the use of IHTSDO standards with HL7 standards.
