simple library for creating and parsing hl7 messages

Package Exports

  • simple-hl7
  • simple-hl7/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (simple-hl7) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

simple-hl7

Node.js CI

A simple library for creating HL7 middleware, based on connect & express.

var hl7 = require('simple-hl7');

///////////////////SERVER/////////////////////
var app = hl7.tcp();

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  //req.msg is the HL7 message
  console.log('******message received*****')
  console.log(req.msg.log());
  next();
})

app.use(function(req, res, next){
  //res.ack is the ACK
  //acks are created automatically

  //send the res.ack back
  console.log('******sending ack*****')
  res.end()
})

app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  //error handler
  //standard error middleware would be
  console.log('******ERROR*****')
  console.log(err);
  var msa = res.ack.getSegment('MSA');
  msa.setField(1, 'AR');
  res.ack.addSegment('ERR', err.message);
  res.end();
});

//Listen on port 7777
app.start(7777); //optionally pass encoding here, app.start(1234, 'latin-1');
///////////////////SERVER/////////////////////

///////////////////CLIENT/////////////////////
var client = hl7.Server.createTcpClient('localhost', 7777);

//create a message
var msg = new hl7.Message(
                    "EPIC",
                    "EPICADT",
                    "SMS",
                    "199912271408",
                    "CHARRIS",
                    ["ADT", "A04"], //This field has 2 components
                    "1817457",
                    "D",
                    "2.5"
                );

console.log('******sending message*****')
client.send(msg, function(err, ack) {
  console.log('******ack received*****')
  console.log(ack.log());
});
///////////////////CLIENT/////////////////////
