ballerinax/health.hl7v27 Ballerina library

Module for HL7 v2.7 specification.

HL7 v2.7 Module

Module Overview

This Module holds the messages, segments and data types for the HL7 version 2.7.

Usage

To add the HL7 v2.7 dependency the project simply import the package as below,

import ballerinax/health.hl7v27

Sample: Simple HL7 Server implementation compatible for HL7 v2.7 which accept any message HL7 message available in this package. This server binds to port 3000

Tip: Use Hapi TestPanel or any HL7 v2.7 compatible client to invoke this server.
