hl7-transform 0.1.1

Tool to transform HL7 messages using mapping schemes

Introduction

hl7_transform is a Python package that allows for transformation of HL7 messages using a field mapping dictionary.

As a standard, HL7 permits different ways of implementing message interfaces between systems. For example two systems that exchange ADT or SIU messages often pass the same information in different fields. In a hospital, an integration engine would map one type of HL7 messages to another, transforming the messages on the fly as they are passed through the interfaces. This Python package allows you to test message transformation without having an integration engine in place. You can modify your HL7 message structure freely, by using a JSON-encoded mapping of fields, then evaluate the conformance of the newly created transformed messages to the target software.
