Data Group Library
The National E-Health Data Group Library (Data Group Library or DGL) contains a suite of specifications developed for the Australian healthcare sector. It has been developed to provide user-friendly access to our data specifications for clinical concepts. It provides the existing clinical data specifications in a format that facilitates exploration.
The specifications we are developing are required to standardise data communication and, ultimately, to achieve level 4 semantic interoperability in the Australian healthcare environment. Semantic interoperability means that the information exchanged by different computer systems can be interpreted by both computer applications and human users.
