HL7 Interface Design

When our customers ask our opinion on the best way to approach designing HL7 interfaces we usually recommend the following:

On a whiteboard draw a vertical line down the middle.
On the left side of the line type Message Transport.
On the right side of the line type Message Processing.

The simple trick is to always consider these 2 categories separately. With Message Transport you should only consider how the HL7 messages will get from Point A to Point B. With Message Processing issues you should consider only how you will consume the messages you receive or produce the messages you need to send.

Example Below:

Message Transport	Message Processing
Receiving Messages: How will HL7 messages be delivered to me? Do I need to support multiple methods? HL7 Standard TCP/IP Receiver (Listener). Do I buy or build? Secure File Transfer? (SFTP). Do I buy or build? HL7 Data File drop, IE data files are placed in a folder A Web Service of some kind. Do I buy or build? Delivering Messages: How will I deliver HL7 messages which I produce to my Trading Partner(s)? HL7 Standard TCP/IP Sender (Router). Do I buy or build? Secure File Transfer? (SFTP). Do I buy or build?

Do I need an inbound staging area where messages are aggregated before being consumed like a HL7 Database solution? Will there be multiple entities consuming each message? IE the EMR and one or more pieces of DME like Lab machines or surgical monitors? What (if any) middleware solutions will I need?Do I buy or build? How will I produce HL7 messages I need to send? Do I need an outbound staging area where messages are aggregated before being delivered like folder(s) on the file system or a HL7 Database solution?
