Outbound HL7 component

The Outbound HL7 component provides a way to transmit HL7 messages into a HL7 endpoint.

Configuration​

It has the following configuration options:

Input Encoding​

Options

  • XML (default)
  • ER7

Description

You can setup this component to receive messages either as XML (default) or ER7 (pipe and hat). After receiving and validating the message, it will be encoded into HL7 and sent into the specified endpoint.

Remark

Beware that HL7 (ER7) stipulates \r as segment terminators, as such, you might need to format your string (replace your line terminators) to provide a valid payload when you chose the component to accept a ER7 input.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ADT_A05 xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v2xml">
    <MSH>
        <MSH.1>|</MSH.1>
        <MSH.2>^~\&amp;</MSH.2>
        <MSH.7>20190830040026.716+0100</MSH.7>
        <MSH.9>
            <MSG.1>ADT</MSG.1>
            <MSG.2>A14</MSG.2>
            <MSG.3>ADT_A05</MSG.3>
        </MSH.9>
        <MSH.10>701</MSH.10>
        <MSH.11>
            <PT.1>T</PT.1>
        </MSH.11>
        <MSH.12>
            <VID.1>2.6</VID.1>
        </MSH.12>
    </MSH>
</ADT_A05>

Server Address​

At this moment the Outbound 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.
