HL7 documents

Edit online

Health Level 7 (HL7) documents are healthcare business documents that comply with international standards for exchanging clinical and administrative data between healthcare systems. You can add, update, and process HL7 documents in webMethods B2B Integration.

HL7 version 2.x is a widely adopted standard for real-time exchange of healthcare information. The standard supports multiple document formats including ER7 (flat file) and XML, enabling interoperability between different healthcare systems and providers.

Key features of HL7 documents include:

  • Support for multiple HL7 version 2.x transactions such as ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer), ORM (Order Messages), and ORU (Observation Result).
  • Both ER7 (flat file) and XML format support for the same transaction types.
  • Custom attribute extraction for tracking patient identifiers, visit numbers, and message IDs.
  • Link message to correlate original messages with their acknowledgments.
