HL7, the global authority for interoperability and standards in healthcare IT, announced that the HL7 India Affiliate has successfully launched the HL7 e-Learning Course (ELC) program.

Taught by HL7 certified professionals, participants work on real-world exercises to learn how to confront a project involving interoperability among disparate healthcare information systems. They also learn how to read and use the most widely used HL7 standards in the world: Versions 2 and 3, and HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). 

HL7 designed the course as a self-paced, tutor-assisted model that introduces participants into the concepts of healthcare interoperability, controlled vocabularies, and HL7 messaging and clinical document standards, from the implementer's viewpoint. Course participants learn why they need HL7 standards, when and how to use standards, as well as understanding and experiencing how messages and documents are built and processed.

HL7 International first began offering the e-Learning Course (ELC) in March 2008. Originally developed by the HL7 Argentina Affiliate and offered in Spanish, the course was translated into the English language to accommodate a larger audience.
