- Health IT developers using Health Level Seven International (HL7) interoperability standards and guides will have increased access to American Medical Association (AMA) medical codes and descriptors through a new partnership.

AMA and HL7 will collaborate to fully integrate Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) with the AMA's Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) code set to advance healthcare interoperability.

"Collaboration with the AMA will provide invaluable opportunities for the communities of developers to seamlessly incorporate this critical terminology within the HL7 development and implementation processes," Charles Jaffe, MD, PhD, HL7 CEO, said in a public statement.
