HL7 Interface Engines

One of the main integration tools in a hospital setting is an interface engine. This little wonder sends all of the data elements to every system. Admission, Discharge, Transfer information are interfaced from the registration system to the patient care information, clinical information systems, medical records systems, and billing system. Also it provides an interface for the clinical information systems results to the patient care information result reporting.

I came across this report here, that sees to rank interface engines in 2003.

I've worked with openlink and see-beyond datagate. OpenLink is easier and more user friendly, the target audience is a non-programmer mindset. By that I mean someone more use to manipulating an application instead of a language.

Datagate use monk oriented towards a programmer mindset. I haven't had any experience with cloverleaf, although I have heard it is nice.

Know of any ActionScript ports to HL7?

We use Datagate/eGate at my place of work. It is not my area, but our expert has shown me the ins and outs. The GUI that allows you to program by drag and drop looks cool.

I have been trying to persuade them to get the web service module for eGate - that would make my life way easier - but the cost is a little high.

Not aware of any ports from HL7 to actionscript. However, what are you thinking of?

My manager and I discussed the format, and it looked pretty easy to write an engine to convert the strings to usable data, and send them out again over a socket. Basically, we already have a C one, a Java one, a .NET one (I think) so it would in the future help our applications if Flash had a portable library that could talk HL7.

Hello everyone,

Could anyone tell me (give some information) on writing an HL7 Interface Engine in VB.NET 2003.
