Abstract :
The adoption of standards in eHealth domain, such as Health Level 7 (HL7) used for data representation, and Integrating Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) for describing interactions between actors, is an important step in enabling healthcare systems to interoperate with each other. This paper addresses the challenges of interoperability testing of different HL7 based systems and presents a test framework based on TTCN-3 language.
