HL7 Interface Planning
HL7 planning encompasses the first major activity for a typical health integration project. HL7 planning includes:
-
Business requirements analysis
- the review of the overall project's business requirements and the role that HL7 interfacing will play in the realisation of those requirements.
-
Application analysis
- the review of the applications required to be integrated (using HL7 interfaces) in order to achieve the project's business requirements.
-
HL7 interface requirements
- documentation of specific HL7 interface requirements identified as a result of business analysis and application analysis.
-
HL7 interface specification
- describes how the HL7 requirements will be realised in actual interface software components.
-
HL7 interface testing
- includes test planning, actual interface testing (such as HL7 interface unit testing, HL7 interface system testing and HL7 integration testing).
