Sažetak
System integration in healthcare ICT domain is proven to yield value only if the interoperability mission is achieved both on the information management and communication protocols level. Open and non proprietary standards play a key role here, since they represent the collection of best practices and are not tied to any specific vendor. After identifying HL7 as the market leader in the healthcare ICT standardization arena, we have identified several areas of improvement in the standard, such as localization methods and dynamic model in regards to the messaging architectures and enterprise communication standards, for which we have based our research on. The thesis has analyzed current status in various countries and markets, studied the HL7 protocol properties, and proposed the additions to the standards in form of the reference communication model and localization/verification methods that have been accepted by the HL7 international community and proven to be working by the Croatian integrated healthcare system implementation in Republic of Croatia. As demonstrated by the results, we strongly believe that the research will bring most important value to the HL7 standard and quality of healthcare systems in general.
