Convert vcf/xml files to HL7V2 message

hl7v2GenomicsExtractor

Introduction

HL7 Version 2 messaging format is the predominant means by which labs send structured results to Electronic Health Records (EHRs). EHRs can directly import HL7 V2 formatted results that conform to the HL7 Lab Results Interface Implementation Guide. Here, we provide an open source utility for converting variants from VCF/XML format into HL7 V2 format.
