PL/SQL for parsing EDI (X12, NCPDP, HL7)

I have some EDI messages (X12, HL7, etc ...) stored in an Oracle database. I sometimes want to pull out individual fields (e.g. ISA-03). Currently, I have some really ugly sql. I'd like to create a PL/SQL package to make it easier and was wondering if anybody had already done this. I imagine something like: select edi.x12.extract...

which approach do you recommend for data model in a e-health system

We have been assigned to build a e-health platform for a customer, and in the design process we have arrived to this dilema: We have two options for the data model, the HL7 RIM (reference information model) and another one (still to be designed).

HL7 parsing in PHP

Hi all, I'm looking into options for parsing HL7 messages via PHP. I'm aware of the Net_HL7 package on PEAR but to be perfectly honest, I don't think that I want to base my code around a seemingly 'abandoned' package and even if I did, I just don't think that my brain suits the functions 'correctly'. Maybe if I had more of an HL7 backgr...

HL7 object model for .NET

Searching for a library or framework that would provide an object model, parsing, validating, etc The idea would be to be able to spin up a new object of type hl7 v2 or v3. Then perhaps call it message type ORU_R01 or ADT, or ORM. Wouldn't life be great if we were able to do something like this: HL7V2 myMessage = new HL7V2(); myMessag...

How to load static data in Mirth, avoid many roundtrips to a database

Mirth: Inbound Message Template that is NOT the same as the channel source type

The problem is that the Inbound Message Template is expecting different type than I want to specify or work with. The requirement is to have a SINGLE channel convert HL7 v2 to v3, call a web service, then convert the SOAP resulting XML, and convert that to HL7 v2.x and send it back to the original caller. This must be done asynchronously...

Mirth: dynamically determine which SOAP method to call

Consider a Mirth channel with a Destination of a SOAP Sender. The WSDL is successfully loaded and has more than one method available. Each method would take a different number of arguments. Example methods: AddPerson() UpdatePerson() DeletePerson() MergePerson() UnmergePerson() Given the set of HL7 message event types, i.e. A28 = ...

Convert XML to Plain Text

My goal is to build an engine that takes the latest HL7 3.0 CDA documents and make them backward compatible with HL7 2.5 which is a radically different beast. The CDA document is an XML file which when paired with its matching XSL file renders a HTML document fit for display to the end user. In HL7 2.5 I need to get the rendered text, ...

I am working on processing CDA messages for a Java application. CDA is yet another XML standard for sending medical information, it is closely related to CCD and HL7v3. I have already reviewed the following libraries and found them lacking, promising, but lacking. JAXB - Feed it a CDA XSD and let it generate classes. It'll work, but ...
