Introduction to HL7 Standards & HL7 v2
Understanding HL7 Standards and HL7 v2 over HTTP
Morning Session: 29-Nov-2025 - 09:30 to 13:00 hrs
HL7® standards have shaped healthcare information exchange for more than four decades. From electronic health records and diagnostics to public health, insurance workflows, and digital health applications, HL7® provides the common language for global healthcare communication.
This session offers a clear non-technical introduction to HL7 as an SDO, its suite of standards, and why HL7 v2 remains one of the most widely implemented interoperability standards worldwide, including modern approaches such as transmitting HL7 v2 over HTTP.
1. HL7 as a Global Standards Development Organization
How global healthcare systems adopt HL7 for interoperability.
2. Overview of HL7 Standards
HL7 v2, HL7 v3, CDA, and FHIR — where and why they are used.
3. Why HL7 v2 remains relevant
Its strengths, global adoption, and role in modern ecosystems.
4. Implementation Concept: HL7 v2 over HTTP
A cost-effective modern method to transmit HL7 v2 messages between on-premise systems, cloud platforms, and mobile applications — blending legacy and future-ready healthcare exchange.
Healthcare professionals, digital health teams, administrators, analysts, consultants, implementers, policymakers, researchers, and anyone seeking a holistic understanding of interoperability.
Participants gain a strong conceptual foundation in HL7 standards and modern data exchange practices, preparing them for collaboration in technical and strategic healthcare initiatives.
HL7® FHIR® for Non-Developers
An Introduction to the Language of Interoperability in Digital Health
Afternoon Session: 29-Nov-2025 - 14:00 to 17:30 hrs
Overview
Discover how HL7® FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is transforming the way healthcare data is shared, accessed, and reused across systems. This introductory workshop — designed for non-developers — demystifies FHIR and explains its growing relevance across clinical care, telemedicine, public health, research, and AI driven healthcare innovation. Through structured lectures and interactive discussions, participants will explore how FHIR enables connected, patient-centric care and drives the next generation of digital health solutions.
Topics Covered
1. Interoperability Unpacked: Why seamless data exchange is the backbone of digital health
2. Understanding FHIR: The what, why, and how of the HL7® FHIR® standard
3. Inside FHIR’s Design: Simple explanations of resources, APIs, and data flows — without the code
4. FHIR in Action: How it powers telemedicine, care coordination, research, and AI innovation
5. From Islands to Ecosystems: How FHIR connects healthcare systems, apps, and patient experiences
6. What Comes Next: Practical steps for non-developers to engage in FHIR-enabled projects and collaborations
Who Should Attend
Healthcare professionals, administrators, policymakers, researchers, and digital health teams seeking a clear, practical understanding of interoperability and how FHIR enables innovation across healthcare domains.
Learning Outcome
Participants will leave with the knowledge and confidence to interpret, discuss, and contribute to FHIR-enabled digital health initiatives — no coding required.
Why Attend
Gain the conceptual clarity and practical insight to engage meaningfully in interoperability and digital transformation efforts. Whether you work in care delivery, policy, or innovation, this session will help you see how FHIR is shaping the future of connected healthcare. Join this workshop to gain the knowledge and confidence to engage meaningfully in FHIR-enabled digital health transformation — no coding required.
