HL7Spy is a productivity enhancement tool for individ= uals working with HL7 2.x messages.
HL7Spy was developed for a group of HL7 Analysts work= ing for a large provider of Radiology Information Systems (RIS). Their job = was to integrate the company's Radiology Work-flow product with the hospita= l's IT infrastructure.
If you are familiar with HL7 and have had the opportu= nity to analyze HL7 messages coming from different HL7 systems providers, t= his can be a very non-trivial task. Site-specific variations, fields format= ted incorrectly, field lengths not adhered to, missing required fields, or = fields put in the wrong location, misinterpretations of the standard, misus= e of transaction types, and short-cuts taken by vendors, are the norm, not = the exception.
As an analyst, faced with the variability of HL7 and = the often incomplete, or inaccurate message definition provided by the cust= omer, the job of interconnecting two systems is a daunting task indeed.
This is where HL7Spy comes in. HL7Spy has been design= ed to help HL7 analysts and programmers quickly interpret, and characterize= very large HL7 message streams. It quickly reads in thousands of messages = and provides detailed statistics at the message, field, component, and sub-= component levels. This information provides great insight into the nature o= f the message exchange and takes the guesswork out of know which fields are= filled in when, and with what values.
HL7Spy also includes features for viewing, editing, search, sorting, sen= ding and receiving HL7, retrieving messages from databases, viewing message= s in hexadecimal format, and a host of other features that make HL7Spy an i= nvaluable tool for on-going maintenance and troubleshooting of HL7 interfac= es.
