Health Data

Health Level Seven International (HL7), founded just up the road from us in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1987, is a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited standards developing organization dedicated to providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information that supports clinical practice and the management, delivery and evaluation of health services. HL7 is supported by more than 1,600 members from over 50 countries, including 500+ corporate members representing healthcare providers, government stakeholders, payers, pharmaceutical companies, vendors/suppliers, and consulting firms.

Today we include Health Level Seven International (HL7) in our break down of health care standards. “Paperwork” is a defining characteristic of the healthcare industry now. About 25 percent of the United States economy and those organizations involved in making sense of it are worthy of our attention. You may access the HL7 standards suite at the link below:

HL7 Standards – Master Grid

It is a fast-moving catalog; characterized by “administrivia” that is generally not in our wheelhouse but has significant influence over the entire sector. We will do a quick run-through of it today but for more specific information we recommend you communicate direcatly with Karen Van Hentenryck, (734) 677-7777, Karenvan@HL7.org.

We maintain the HL7 suite on the standing agenda of our Health colloquia. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Dentistry

The global dental industry market is relatively small in relation to that for health care in general, but it is a lucrative and highly competitive market. The global dental market is estimated for the 2017 – 2018 financial year to be worldwide US$31.5 billion. For 2021, the scale of the global dental market is predicted to be around US$37 billion and growing with the population. We keep pace with action in dentistry best practice literature because many higher education institutions have significant dental health education enterprises. The physical assets that support them are relatively complex; usually involving research, instruction and clinical delivery.
