HL7 Projects
All HL7 work requires a TSC approved project.
Failure to file a project application results in a refusal to
approve balloting of the resulting WG work product.
All Normative Standards require a 1-2 year period
as a DSTU. Two volunteer organizations are
required to test the DSTU before Normative
Balloting is permitted.
The current project list has over 325 approved
projects.
