Health Level Seven’s Chinese Affiliate Publishes Translation of Version 2.4 Messaging Standard
<br>ANN ARBOR, Mich.⎯March 23, 2005—HL7 China has announced that it has translated Version 2.4 of the HL7
<br>messaging standard and is now making it available to the Chinese market. HL7 China, which was established in May
<br>2000, joins other HL7 international affiliates in providing language translations of the standards to their country
<br>constituents.
<br>“We are very happy that HL7 China has completed the Chinese translation of HL7 Version 2.4 and can now make it
<br>available to its healthcare sector,” said HL7 Board Chair Mark Shafarman. “This is an important example of the
<br>significant contributions that HL7’s International Affiliates are making, which help to position HL7 as a truly global
<br>standard.”
<br>“It is our honor to translate HL7 Version 2.4 into Chinese, and introduce it to Chinese Healthcare Information
<br> artners,” said Zijun Zhou, the chair of HL7 China. “We believe the Chinese translation version of this HL7 standard
<br>will help Chinese hospitals as well as the healthcare information industry in general.”
<br>The Chinese translation of HL7 Version 2.4 will be made available free of charge to members of HL7 China and will
<br>be available for sale by non-members via the HL7 China online bookstore at <a href="http://www.HL7.cn" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.HL7.cn" target="_blank">www.HL7.cn</a></a>, which is currently under
<br>construction.
<br>HL7’s Version 2.4 received approval as an American National Standard in October 2000. The HL7 Version 2
<br>Messaging Standard — Application Protocol for Electronic Data Exchange in Healthcare Environments — is
<br>considered to be the workhorse of data exchange in healthcare and is the most widely implemented standard for
<br>healthcare information in the world.
<br>Since the release of Version 2.4 in 2000, HL7 Version 2.5 was approved by ANSI in June 2003 and released. HL7’s
<br>Version 2.5 Messaging Standard is available to HL7 members for download at the “Members Only” section of the
<br>HL7 Web site (<a href="http://www.HL7.org)" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.HL7.org)" target="_blank">www.HL7.org)</a></a>. A copy of the most recent standard on CD-ROM was sent to all HL7 members free of
<br>charge as a benefit of membership. Non-members may purchase the standard at the HL7 bookstore
<br>(<a href="https://www.hl7.org/library/bookstore/)" target="_blank">https://www.hl7.org/library/bookstore/)</a>. For more information about other HL7 products or about membership,
