I hope you don't mind my asking, but what the heck is HL7?

HL7 is a standard used in healthcare. It provides a data format used for messaging between applications written by different vendors. Here is a posting that answers the "What is HL7?" question. Ultimately, to understand HL7 you probably need to get a copy of the HL7 specification or attend an HL7 training class. Sadly, outside of the HL7 manual itself, there are no real books that describe the standard. The Wikipedia HL7 page contains lots of background material if you care.

I guess I'm not really that interested. Had hoped we might be able to throw something together to read/write this format, but from what little I was able to ferret out, it sounds pretty complex.

Wow, this HL7 thing is big. ANSI and ISO standardisation as well!

It's XML based, so are you wanting tools to build XML?

What are you wanting to store in it? Is the HL7 Development Framework version 2 something you need?

HL7 is whole slew of related things. What kind of HL7 file are you building?

Kind regards,
Bruce.
