integration with healthcare systems by providing the tools needed to easily
create, read, and transform HL7 messages within Mule.

Overview
Health Level Seven International is a standards development organization
that has defined a set of standards for the transport and communication of
healthcare information.
The connector currently supports the following versions of HL7: v2.1, v2.2,
v2.3.1, v2.3, v2.4, v2.5.1, v2.5, v2.6. Versions 2.7 and 2.8 are not currently
supported.

The Mule Healthcare toolkit supports, and allows transformation between,
the following message types:
HL7 ER7: A human-readable format based on line segments and pipe
delimiters
HL7 XML: An XML representation of HL7 ER7 messages
HAPI Message Objects: The native message format of the HAPI (HL7
Application Programming Interface) message parser. HAPI is an open
source object-oriented parser that works with HL7 XML (version 2.X) and
ER7 formats.
The Mule Healthcare toolkit allows you to send and receive HL7 messages
over MLLP (using the HL7 connector) and other transport protocols (and
corresponding connectors) supported by Mule, such as HTTP.
