Application analysis is part of the overall HL7 interface planning process which includes HL7 interface analysis ( business requirements analysis, application analysis), HL7 interface requirements, HL7 interface specification, and HL7 interface testing.

The applications that underpin the business workflows and business requirements influence the HL7 interface analysis process. In the HL7 interface analysis process, for a set of identified applications, the application analysis will include:

Review of the business processes practiced by the users of a particular application. For example the business processes performed by the pathology staff whose activities contribute an electronic health record.
Review of the actual application used by a particular group of users. For example the Auslab application used by pathology staff, Cerner Quadrat used by hospital radiology department staff, iSoft Homer used by hospital administration staff.
Review of existing HL7 interfaces used (or potentially available) by those identified systems. For example the existing HL7 interface supported by the iSoft EDIS emergency department application.
