Welcome to ART-DECOR®
A short "what is it?"
ART-DECOR® is an open-source tool suite that aims at interoperability solutions in the healthcare sector.
The tool is used in more than 80 projects worldwide, mainly in Europe, the server park houses more than 10,000 artifacts such as CDA templates and value sets from various teams of experts (governance groups), from small and medium-sized interoperability projects to large national and international infrastructure projects, for example in Austria, Switzerland, Poland.
The tool supports the creation and maintenance of HL7 templates, value sets, scenarios and data sets. The tool features cloud-based federated Building Block Repositories (BBR) for Templates and Value Sets. It supports comprehensive collaboration of team members within and between governance groups.
