SmartHL7 Message Viewer

Health Level-7 (or HL7) is a type of software used by healthcare providers to exchange medical and administrator information. It has several primary standards which are frequently implemented, like version 2.x and version 3 messaging standards.

SmartHL7 Message Viewer is a lightweight, portable and really easy-to-use application that can help you open HL7 files to read contents, without having to resort to more complicated and resource-demanding programs if you only plan to view messages.

The tool comes bundled with simple HL7 references and is capable of reading very large files. It features support for user-defined segments and custom data type, as well as syntax highlights for selected text.

Wrapped in a plain-looking interface that doesn't focus too much on appearance, SmartHL7 Message Viewer has a well-organized layout that makes it possible to effortlessly open HL7-formatted files. If you don't happen to have these kinds of files at the moment, you can use a sample included in the downloaded package to see how it works.

There are no exporting options available, which means that HL7 text cannot be extracted and saved to file. Also, HL7 files cannot be converted to other types. On the other hand, you can select, copy and paste data into other applications.

Thanks to the fact that the utility is packed in portable form, you can keep it stored in your collection of portable tools and fire it up whenever you want to open a HL7 file. Plus, you can copy it onto a USB flash drive to easily run it on any other PC, without installation.

All aspects considered, SmartHL7 Message Viewer has a pretty straightforward purpose and excludes any features that are not relevant to opening HL7 files and examining medical data. It worked without error on the latest Windows edition in our tests.
