Our Vision: Comprehensive electronic clinical records that tell a patient’s complete health story.

Much of the information needed for patient care is locked in unstructured documents, such as transcribed notes. We work to unlock it by developing HL7 data standards that support information flow between narrative documents and EHR systems. Over the previous three years we've produced standards for seven common types of clinical documents - use of which supports the new HHS rules that define "meaningful use" of EHRs.
