Protocol

Health Care Term


In computer networking, a protocol is a set of rules and guidelines that define how data is transmitted over a network. These protocols ensure that data is transmitted accurately and in a manner that is compatible with the receiving device. In the health care industry, various protocols are used to govern communication between health care professionals, both in-person and via electronic channels.

One example is the Health Level Seven (HL7) protocol, a widely used standard for electronic data exchange in clinical care and research settings. HL7 defines a series of messaging and document formats that enable health care professionals to share patient data, such as electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory test results, and medical images. It is used by hospital information systems, electronic health record vendors, and other health care technology providers.

Another example is the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protocol, which governs the privacy and security of patients' health information. HIPAA establishes standards for protecting patient health information, including electronic personal health information (PHI) and medical records.

In addition to these standards, there are many other protocols used in the health care industry, including those for medical billing and coding, radiology, pharmacy management, and telemedicine. These protocols enable health care professionals to share information and provide quality care to patients in a secure and efficient manner.
