HL7 Version 3 Standard: Shared Messages

DESCRIPTION

HL7 Version 3 Shared Messages are a work product produced for expressing common, useful and reusable message types. A Shared Message can be envisioned as a message type that is reusable in interactions in any of the domains within the HL7 standard. This document provides data on common messages such as acknowledgements shared across multiple domains.

 

This standard was retired in 2025 February.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES

HL7 Version 3 Standard: Shared Messages may also go by the following names or acronyms:

TARGETS

• Healthcare IT Vendors
• Healthcare Institutions
• Systems Integrators

BENEFITS

• Allows for consistent communication of common message types
• Provides a consistent set of reference artifacts, and reference models for these message types
• Provides for the availability of common content in a common library

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The scope of the Shared Messages standard includes message types shared by all domains.
The Act in the Shared Message DMIM can include use-cases such as the notification of a status change of an act, the sending of application level accept/reject messages, the registration of acts in repositories, and responding to Act-related queries and more.

Note: The Shared Messages domain will include storyboards, application roles, trigger events, interactions, and message types shared by any of the healthcare domains. Some of these will be for example purposes only. The examples will not be used in their own right but as a reusable payload in various domains. When used in this fashion, the message is transmitted as a result of a domain interaction and between two domain application roles.
