Basic medical items include properties like type, author, date, context, content, status, and so on. Derived classes may further specialize the content. This is not a message exchange project like the usual HL7. Objects can be copied locally. This is potentially compatible, however, with the message exchange approach.
Project is intended for the integrated delivery network, care provider system.
Provider participation was not specified. Vendor name was not specified. However several external tables will be required to define standard attributes. Getting style sheets working directly on standardized medical items will be a challenge. There will be a need for tools to achieve easy conversions between XML and Java objects.
