Health Level-7 or HL7 refers to a set of international standards for the transfer of clinical and administrative data between software applications used by various healthcare providers
I'm looking for options to create multiple DFT HL7 messages based on data contained in a ZCO segment in a single inbound DFT message. I have the following ZCO segment:
In this example, I need to create a new DFT message based on the data contained in ZCO:2. Each code needs to be in it's own DFT message and put in FT1:7.1. The number of codes will vary for each inbound message, but each code will need to create its own outbound message to the client.
I would like to know how to download HL7 and XML messages from the Message Viewer. Currently I have to open Contents -> View Raw Contents then copy and paste one by one.
We have created an Ensemble production that receives HL7 information via TCP Adapters, but the requirement from the vendor is that we submit an ACK message with the MSH segment mist have a date and time populated with seconds.
We are utilising the standard class for the Service Adapter (EnsLib.HL7.Service.TCPService).
HL7 Version 2.5 no modifications currently.
The messages received via the service is correctly received in ddMMyyyyhhmmss but our ACK back is only ddMMyyyyhhmm.
I want to test automatically that HL7 business operation works correctly in error conditions. One is to test CE acknowledgement. I have planned to implement test production which includes business services for different situations (AA, AE, CA, CE, timeout, late response etc).
How should I implement HL7 business service that always returns CE (commit error)? I have tried but it keeps returning "AA".
I have a delimited flat file that I need to read and then generate an HL7 A08 message from the fields in the file. I used the Management Portal's Record Mapper to generate the Map.Record class, then used drag & drop to map fields in the delimited flat-file to an A08 message.
But when I try testing this in the test tool, I'm getting an ERROR #6254: Tag expected . XML input. ... is not in proper format as child of Record (ending at line 2 character 11).
EnsLib.HL7.Message.cls provides many API methods for manipulating an HL7 message. RemoveSegmentAt(), for example, can be used to remove a segment by path or index, but only one segment at a time. There may be times that you'll need to remove all segments within a group or even many groups of segments from the HL7 message. Surely you can iterate through each segment in each group and remove them one by one, but there's a much easier way.
With just one command, like below, you can remove all OBX segments in an ORU_R01 message (msg):
I am currently working on an interface that needs to communicate to a SOAP/ITK endpoint.
I am using the EnsLib.ITK.AdapterKit.Operation.SOAPOperation to interface with an ITK service, but it is proving to be more complex than originally expected to set up the web client against that particular end-point since I haven't been provided with a WSDL from ITK service side as the vendor state they are following the ITK standard and no WSDLs are needed.
I'm currently working on a project to run our medical device integration through ensemble.
I've noticed a potential problem with the volume of messages . The feed generates around 474K messages daily( average of 1 message per minute per device from 300+ devices).
We currently keep all our other feeds message data for 90 days and purge automatically. From what I can see is that the purge functions in Ensemble are production wide and cannot set it at the Business Operation, Service or Router level.
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.
We have the need to write a function that can loop through say a field in an OBX segment within HL7 and compare it to a string passed. Is it possible to have the user enter the Operator ( >,<,=,<>) as a variable inside Cache object script? Does anyone have any examples they can share?
I'm receiving HL7 message containing the escape sequence \X00D\ indicating a carriage return. In the HL7 documentation I find that this is a valid escape sequence but when I read the intersystems documentation it states that only \X0D\ is valid.
What is the best way to work around this? I think that intersystems should change the UnescapeEx method in the EnsLib.HL7.Segment so that it complies with the standards.
I'm working on a project that will be dealing with depression screening and I'm not certain where any of this information would belong in the HL7v2.x world.
Can anyone suggest what the proper placement of "has this person been screened" and if so, "this was what the screening showed"?
At first thought I was thinking that this is an "Observation" of some sort (and ORU message) for the "what the screening (or perhaps testing) showed", but I'm not sure if the screening was performed yes/no qualifies as an "ordered test".
But in my Business Process when I refer to request.GetValueAt("FT1:16.4.2") its not recognizing that this field contains information. Is my syntax wrong?

Two fairly common requests we receive from HL7 customers are (1) how to remove all trailing delimiters for fields and segments in HL7 messages and (2) how to "find and replace" for an entire HL7 message (as opposed to one segment/field at a time). The code sample below shows a custom function that solves for item 1 and by extension item 2 above. In other words the same approach can be used for finding/replacing any sequence of chars in an entire HL7 message, with some tweaks to the custom function.

Join us at the FHIR event of the year in the US: the HL7 FHIR Dev Days 2018! A unique chance to meet 400 colleagues and discuss all topics relating to your field.
InterSystems is proud to be the Host Sponsorof HL7 FHIR Dev Days for its first U.S. edition, Boston, June 19 – 21st! We support the HL7 FHIR standard as it is critical for rapid innovation. FHIR can be used as an accelerant to bring all the information that matters for a patent into a unified health record.
I've just started developing for a new client and noticed that the View Raw Contents link isn't displayed when inspecting HL7 message contents in the Management Portal. Is the link missing due to:
1) a configuration setting?
2) a security setting?
3) a difference between installation on Unix Vs Windows?
And is there a way to turn it on?
I've trawled through the doco but haven't been able to find anything on this.
This is a sample Ensemble/Health Connect production which demonstrates how to receive an HL7 order (ORM) inbound from a file, extract fields (in this case, basic demographic information), and insert those into a table in an external SQL database via ODBC.
We have a case where a vendor can send us more information in the DICOM message rather than in the HL7 result message. In theory it should be possible to take a DICOM and convert it to HL7, stupid question is has anyone done it before? Does anyone have any good examples of a DTL they did to show me how to setup the message structures and translation?
The InterSystems FHIR® Sandbox is a virtual testing environment that combines HealthShare technology with synthetic patient data and open source and commercial SMART on FHIR apps, to allow users to play with FHIR functionality.
I love the integration of HL7 v2.x in Ensemble, it's really easy to use.
I would love to see the same about using CDA on Ensemble. I know it's a complicated standard, but it would be more easy for developers in Europe if we could use it like any other type of message instead of using at XML level and xsl transformations.
