Application-to-Application

It defines a communication between two independent applications, rather than between closely coupled, client/server applications. The scope of interest for HL7 is the message exchange between the applications, rather than the specific role of each application in the healthcare delivery process. If you want to learn more about application roles in the healthcare delivery, refer to the IHE framework.
