HL7 Has submitted a batch of standards for ISO approval:

A set of data standards developed by HL7, a health IT standards accreditation organization in the United States, is being jointly published with an international data standards group.

IMO, this will once again re-affirm HL7's role as one of the key infrastructure standards for the health and life sciences industries.

With the submission to ISO, in particular of CDA, HL7 is on track to becoming the basis for many European and international healthcare standards.
