Developing healthcare message flow applications by using the patterns supplied in IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack
Use the built-in patterns to integrate applications that use HL7 v2 messages.
A built-in pattern is a pattern that covers a set of commonly encountered message flow scenarios and that is packaged and released with IBM® Integration Bus and IBM Integration Bus connectivity packs.
The built-in patterns that are supplied in IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack are shown in the following table.
You can view patterns in the documentation by using the links only when you use the documentation that is integrated with the IBM Integration Toolkit, or when you use the online documentation in the IBM Knowledge Center.
Clinical patterns
Pattern name | Description |
---|---|
Healthcare: HL7 Transformation | The Healthcare: HL7 Transformation pattern
generates graphical data maps that you can use to assemble HL7
messages. Note: This pattern uses the DFDL message model.
|
Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 DFDL | The Healthcare:
HL7 to HL7 DFDL pattern integrates an
application that can send HL7 (version 2.7, 2.6, 2.5.1 or earlier) messages to one or more
applications that can receive HL7 messages. The
applications must be able to send and receive the messages by using
MLLP over TCP/IP. You can monitor the Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 DFDL pattern by using operational monitoring, or by using web-based monitoring. See Monitoring clinical applications, or Web-based monitoring. Note: This pattern uses the DFDL message model.
|
Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 Note: This
pattern was made available in IBM WebSphere® Message Broker Connectivity Pack for
Healthcare version 7.0 and is still
available and supported in IBM Integration Bus Healthcare
Pack version 3.0. However,
it is recommended that you use the Healthcare:
HL7 to HL7 DFDL pattern
instead if possible. The Healthcare:
HL7 to HL7 DFDL pattern
uses the DFDL message model instead
of MRM and the HL7v25P
message set. The DFDL message model has the following
benefits.
|
The Healthcare:
HL7 to HL7 pattern
integrates an application that can send HL7 (version 2.5.1 or
earlier) messages to one or more applications that can receive HL7 messages. The applications
must be able to send and receive the messages by using MLLP
over TCP/IP. You can monitor the Healthcare: HL7 to HL7 pattern by using operational monitoring, or by using web-based monitoring. See Monitoring clinical applications, or Web-based monitoring. Note: This pattern
uses MRM and the HL7v25P
message set.
|
Healthcare: Medical Devices to EMR | The Healthcare: Medical Devices to EMR pattern
integrates medical devices with an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
application that can receive HL7 (version 2.5.1 or earlier)
observation result messages (ORU R01). The application must
be able to receive HL7 ORU
R01 messages by using MLLP over TCP/IP. You can monitor the Healthcare: Medical Devices to EMR pattern by using operational monitoring, or by using web-based monitoring. See Monitoring clinical applications, or Web-based monitoring. Note: This pattern
uses MRM and the HL7v25P
message set.
|
Healthcare: HL7 to Reports | The Healthcare: HL7 to Reports pattern
integrates an application that can send HL7 (version 2.5.1
or earlier) messages with report generation. The source application
must be able to send and receive HL7 messages by using
MLLP over TCP/IP. You can monitor the Healthcare: HL7 to Reports pattern by using operational monitoring, or by using web-based monitoring. See Monitoring clinical applications, or Web-based monitoring. Note: This pattern
uses MRM and the HL7v25P
message set.
|
Healthcare: Web Service to DICOM | The Healthcare: Web service to DICOM pattern integrates
an application that is written using web services with DICOM applications that support
C-FIND and C-MOVE operations. You can use the pattern to query
patients, studies, series, and images from a DICOM PACS using a web service
that is implemented by IBM Integration Bus You can monitor the DICOM pattern by using operational monitoring, see Monitoring clinical applications. |
Healthcare: Home Health | The Healthcare: Home Health pattern enables your health systems to accept web service requests from HL7 v2.6 compliant devices. This allows data that Home Health devices collect and send to the Application Hosting Device (AHD) to then be sent to the requesting clinical application. This pattern uses the DFDL message model. |
Healthcare: HIPAA to XML | The Healthcare: HIPAA to XML pattern creates a messages flow that you can use to convert HIPAA files to XML files. |
