Message Validation Service Framework - A Roadmap for Standards Compliance

The public health community has a growing need to ensure that the data exchanged across numerous health IT initiatives is compliant with a variety of relevant national messaging and vocabulary standards, including but not limited to HL7 v2.5 PHIN public health case notification message mapping guides.

Currently, many of the processes associated with ensuring standard compliance in the public health community are time and resource consuming, and the tools are outdated. The proposed Message Validation Service framework will allow public health partners to access a set of services to ensure that their messages are compliant with the relevant international and national messaging and vocabulary standards, including HL7, HITSP, CDA, PHIN, and others. The presenters will introduce the concept of the Message Validation Service Framework and demonstrate a working prototype of the system to the PHIN conference attendees.
