HL7 Message Component
The HL7 Message component generates a new ER7-encoded HL7 message with user-defined parameters.
| This component is part of the Mule Healthcare Toolkit, which includes transformers, components, and endpoints for receiving, processing and sending HL7 messages. For details and a full list of available tools, consult the Toolkit’s documentation main page. |
Configuration
Minimum required configuration:
-
Message type
-
Trigger event
All fields must conform to the HL7 format. Non-conformant fields generate an error message in Mule, and the message is not sent.
| This HL7 message component cannot generate the HL7 message payload, nor incorporate data from an external source for the HL7 message payload. To add a payload, use an HL7 Append Segment component. |
