Are interested in the progress and development of clinical and administrative standards. Like all ANSI-accred SDOs, HL7 has a strict and well defined set of operating procedures that ensure consensus, transparency and balance of interests. Its most commonly used specification is a messaging standard for electronic exchange of health data. HL7 members are collectively known as the Working Group, which is organized into technical committees and special interest groups. The technical committees are directly responsible for the content of the standards. The special interest groups use to develop information and evidence for the exploration of new areas of coverage of the standards published by HL7.A list of technical committees and special interest groups and their missions, scopes and coordinators is available on the HL7 website.
