The HL7 Terminology Authority, as a subcommittee of the Terminology Services Management Group (TSMG) is responsible for the creation, implementation, and management of HL7 processes involving external terminology management. The activities of the HTA are intended to complement maintenance of terminology that is used by HL7 protocol specifications.  HTA works through the TSMG to implement processes or polices that impact Working Groups. To contact the HTA, see additional details on the HTA Confluence page.
