 About the Seminar |
This is especially useful for implementers, service/support  engineers, and system administrators. Not only will you get a thorough overview of the HL7 standard, you will get to do hands-on exercises and look at messaging in great detail. |
| Detailed Learning Objectives |
| You will get a basic understanding of the HL7 standard and learn to generate and troubleshoot HL7 messages using a simple but powerful software tool. Much of the operation of a healthcare enterprise relies on administrative and/or order information generated by HL7 messages. In addition, results captured as part of the Electronic Patient Record also depend on imaging as a source for their information. Therefore, all relevant HL7 messages will be explained in detail using a real-life scenario. Several transactions from the IHE technical framework will be described as well. |

"Hello Otech. I just wanted to thank you again for the DICOM and HL7 courses, and the discount code. I was able to use the code last weekend to successfully complete my CPIA exam and certification! The courses were fun, and an excellent starting point for the study process towards certification. Thanks again."
