#94 HAPI Support for HL7 2.5.1 V1.5

[Lawrence Johnbosco]

Hello,

We are in the processing of upgrading one of our IIS system to use HL7 2.5.1 V1.5. Among other things, we need to support new data types and usage of “conditional” elements in all message segments.

So, we are wondering if any of the HAPI version supports the changes introduced in HL7 2.5.1 V1.5.

Please see below the link to HL7 implementation guide.

Thanks,
Lawrence

Please send questions like this to the HAPI mailing list (http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/mail-lists.html).

HAPI has support for HL7v2.5.1. This should cover most if not all of the specification. If there are Z-Segments or Z-Message types defined in the spec, you may have to extend the model (cf. e.g. http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/xref/ca/uhn/hl7v2/examples/CustomModelClasses.html)

HAPI provides no 100% out-of-the-box-compliance to any HL7 implementation guides like this, simply because there are soooo many of them.

As I see it - the easiest way to make out-of-the-box conformance is to author conformance profiles and use the tool to convert the profiles to HapiClasses .. I've done it before at it worked quite nice
