XML Solutions and healthcare

National Integration

Healthcare ICT is currently a huge and growing industry. It has the potential to provide benefits to patients though improving processes, knowledge sharing and innovative technical advances. However, along with this growth comes the need for greater and more sophisticated regional and national integration of healthcare systems. Drawing on the leading architects from the UK's National Programme for IT, XML Solutions has particular expertise in creating strategic plans for large scale national integration programmes.

Experts in Healthcare Standards

XML Solutions are experienced in all the major healthcare standards - for example HL7 version 3 and the IHE. This is the leading standard for healthcare messaging. XML Solutions has worked on a number of initiatives with HL7 and is also a frequent committee representative. In 2007 XML solutions was invited to present a number of proposals at HL7's International conference in Germany and then at the HL7 UK conference. See the presentation. We continue to support and contribute to HL7 developments.
