Architectural Constraints and Considerations

Secondary Benefits

Use of HL7v3 conforms with the architectural design of Canada's digital health blueprint.

AB MR2009 extends the Canadian specification with the ability to merge and logically delete providers.

HL7v3 messaging does not provide the means to transmit a the history of changes to a provider records.
