Use HL7 nodes
in a message flow to integrate HL7 clinical
applications.
If there are no patterns that meet your requirements, you
can integrate data from HL7 applications
by creating your own message flow and adding HL7 nodes.
To use the data from HL7 applications in message
flows, complete the following steps:
- Collect connection information about your HL7 applications.
- Import the appropriate message model into
your workspace.
- If you are using the DFDL message model:
- Make sure that you are using the information center that is integrated
with the IBM Integration
Toolkit.
- Click Resources for
the Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 DFDL pattern to
open the document that contains the resources for the pattern.
- Click the appropriate link in the document to import the required
version of the DFDL message model (HL7 version 2.7, HL7 version 2.6, or HL7 version 2.5.1 or earlier)
Note: The DFDL message models
occupy a significant amount of memory, so you should import only the DFDL message model that you require.
Also, to improve the performance and reduce the deployment time of
the message flows, you can delete the chapters that you do not need
from DFDL message model that
you import.
- If you are using the HL7v25P
message set:
- Make sure that you are using the information center that is integrated
with the IBM Integration
Toolkit.
- Click Resources for the
Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 pattern to
open the document that contains the resources for the pattern.
- Click the "Import the sample resources into your workspace" link
in the document to import the HL7v25P
message set.
- Create a message flow and add the appropriate HL7 nodes. For information
about the available HL7 nodes
and their purposes, see HL7 nodes in message flows.
- Complete your message flow. For more information
about developing message flow applications, see Developing message flow applications in the IBM Integration Bus product
documentation.
Next:Test and debug your message flow application
to check that it works correctly. See Testing and debugging message flow applications in the IBM Integration Bus product
documentation.
