Inbound HL7 component

The Inbound HL7 component provides a endpoint to receive HL7 messages into a Dovetail flow.

Configuration

It has the following configuration options:

Aditionally, there is a section where the generated URLs are shown along with the assigned ports for each environment.

Output Encoding

Options

  • XML (default)
  • ER7

Description

By default this component will translate the HL7 into a XML string. If ER7 format is chosen, the message will simply be converted to a string using a pipe and hat format (EDI style).

Examples

MSH|^~&|||||20190830040026.716+0100||ADT^A14^ADT_A05|701|T|2.6

Protocol

Options

  • MLLP

Description

At this moment the Inbound HL7 component only supports the MLLP protocol as it is the most commonly used but it might support other transport protocols such as basic TCP and/or HL7 over HTTP in the future.

URL Preview

Description

This section shows the URLs that Dovetail generated for the HL7 component.

Remark

The ports are automatically assigned the first time you open the Inbound HL7 component properties.
