HL7

Know the component and how to use it.

HL7 component sends information to healthcare systems via the HL7 (Health Level 7) communications protocol, a healthcare industry standard for exchanging data between different systems and medical devices.

Take a look at the configuration parameters of the component:

• Host: HL7 server host.

• Port: HL7 server port. MLLP protocol usually runs under port 2575.

• Connect Timeout (ms): time limit for the connection of the platform to the server (in milliseconds).

• HL7 Message: message field that contains the data to be used. This field supports Double Braces expressions.

• HL7 Message Charset: charset for the HL7 message.

• Advanced Settings: if the option is active, you can access the following configurations:

  • Connection Pool: number of available connection pools.

  • Enable Retries: if the option is active, it will allow retries if the execution fails.

  • Number of Retries: defines the number of retries if the execution fails.

  • Time to Wait Between Retries (in ms): defines the time interval between retries (in milliseconds).

• Fail on Error: if the option is active, the execution of the pipeline with error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the “success” property.
