# Store HL7 v2.3 Messages in Salesforce Standard Objects

Like the Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard defined by Health Level Seven (HL7), HL7 v2.3 is also a database framework defined by HL7 to facilitate interoperability between electronic healthcare systems. Because the Clinical Data Model was built to align with FHIR v4.0, it is also compatible with its predecessor HL7 v2.3.

Here are some HL7 messages and their segments that are supported in Salesforce standard objects.
