Abstract:
In this paper, we present a survey for data exchange middleware in health based on the HL7 standard. HL7 is an international standard, grounded on the Open System Intercommunication model (OSI), which standardizes exchange and transportation of information between healthcare organizations. Based on this standard, we examine examples of middleware selected during an exploratory research in the repositories of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This article provides an overview of features present in the selected middleware.
