The HL7 hData Record Format (HRF) specifies an abstract hierarchical record organization, packaging, and metadata for individual documents (referred to as “Section Documents” within the HRF specification). Section Documents can be of any type, either XML documents (such as CDA documents, H7v3 messages, or simplified XML wire formats, etc.) or of other media types (such as e.g. MS Word documents or DICOM files). Also contained in this specification is the format for specifying the content that goes into an hData record, which is called the hData Content Profile (HCP) format.
The HL7 hData Record Format 1.0 has passed HL7 DSTU ballot in September 2011 and is currently undergoing ballot reconcilliation. A final DSTU release is expected soon. |
