Standards Status

The artifacts in this standard have followed the governance process for HL7 Belgium and/or eHealth platform.

The artifacts promoted by HL7 Belgium have a “Community status” – they have been reviewed by the HL7 Belgium community.

Those promoted by the eHealth Platform have been accepted as Legal standards.

HL7 Belgium and eHealth Platform share the goal that their specifications should coincide as much as possible – Community standards should also be Legal standards, and vice-versa. This can be done thanks to a process and common criteria that have been defined.

In practice, both the HL7 Belgium Community and eHealth will follow a similar process with specific steps and criteria – the status is granted when criteria is met (by following the process).
