Remove FHS segment from file
Is there any out of the box capability in Ensmeble to remove an FHS segment from a batch file? We have a client that is creating a batch of HL7 messages and they insert an FHS but there is no trailing FTS.
We are hoping to avoid custom COS code to handle this scenario.
David,
I just confirmed this behavior on Health Connect 2017.2.2.
I set up an HL7 Business Services to treat messages as individual HL7. See the Business Service setting Batch Handling of "Individual". I then passed in an HL7 with FHS and BHS headers, but no matching footers. This sample HL7 data generated separate HL7 objects within the application.
I then set up an HL7 Business Operation to write this object to a file. I confirmed that "Auto Batch Parent Segs" was unchecked. The resulting HL7 data was saved without any HL7 batch header information.
I hope this helps.
The majority of my Ancillary billing files in HL7 are batch. In the structure I have just made FHS, BHS,FTS,FHS all optional. In my DTL, I am only processing those messages that truly begin with a MSH segment.
