  • One of the great new features in HL7Spy v4 is built for users who are migrating to a new HL7 Integration Engine, (like Rhapsody, or Corepoint –product plug intended). The Bulk Compare tool allows users to compare the output from their old integration engine with the output of their new one to ensure that the outputs are equivalent before flipping the switch.
  • The Bulk Compare Tool generates results that allow you to see exactly which messages and fields are different between to message streams. Statistics by message type and field are created. These results can be export to PDF and Excel for reporting purposes.
  • The Bulk Compare tool is fast, so fast. It can compare 100,000 messages in under 15 seconds. See it in action below.
  • The Bulk Compare tool was developed in conjunction with Rhapsody’s Co-Creation Labs: https://rhapsody.health/co-creation-lab. It was a great opportunity for us to work with the experts in the integration space and create a comprehensive HL7 integration engine migration tool. We were happy and impressed with the co-creation result and we think you will be too.

New in Hl7Spy 3.0 (Jun 29, 2017)

  • New User Interface:
  • The new user interface provides for a much richer user experience. The new Ribbon Bar makes navigating HL7Spy’s functionality faster and easier. The tool buttons are larger and include text identifies the functionality being provided. Context sensitive help appears when hovering over a button. These new UI will make using HL7Spy more efficient for both beginners and existing HL7Spy pros alike.
  • Additional User Interface Enhancements:
  • Ribbon Bar can be shown/hidden with Cntr-F1 allowing the user to maximize message display area
  • HL7Spy skin, back shadowing, and Aero Glass can be changed allowing the user to optimize the look and feel of the UI
  • Short-cuts can be added to the application title bar for quick access to frequently used tools
  • The Ribbon tabs, menus, and buttons can be access via the keyboard using the Alt key followed by the short-code displayed after the Alt key is pressed.
  • HL7 Timeline Tool:
  • The new HL7 Timeline Tool provides an over-view of the message volume over time for the currently displayed tab. This tool is useful when you are navigating a very large message stream and you want to see the messaging rate over time, or you want to quickly navigate to a particular date/time. In the example below, the message stream contains 100,000 messages. Note the spike in message throughput just before midnight every day.
  • HL7 Timeline Tool Features:
  • Can handle hundreds of thousands of messages
  • Clicking on the timeline navigates the editor to that date/time
  • Zoom In/Out using Shift-Click operations with the mouse
  • Right-Click to export graph to png image file
  • Right-Click to export raw data to Excel
  • HL7 Transform Tool:
  • The new HL7 Transform Tool allows users to make bulk modifications to messages within the current tab. While message transformation functionality has been available in HL7Spy since version 1.x, it has required users to write c# code snippets in the Custom Code tool. Now non-programmers can make bulk transformations to HL7 messages without having to write code.
  • HL7 Transform Tool Features:
  • Set fields to constant values. Eg, MSH-4=’FIXEDVALUE’ – sets MSH-4 to FIXEDVALUE
  • Copy fields from one part of the message to another. Eg, MSH-5=MSH-4 – sets MSH-5 to the value in MSH-4
  • Use a table to map one field to another. Eg PV1-2 = Table(PV1-2,’ER’ -> ‘E’, ‘OP’ -> ‘O’, ‘IP’ -> ‘I’) – maps ER to E, OP to O, and IP to I
  • Use conditions to control when a transformation is triggered. Eg, MSH-4=MSH-4+’-INPATIENT’ when PV1-2=’I’ – appends ‘-INPATIENT’ to MSH-4 if PV1-2 is set to ‘I’
  • Test button runs the transform on the message currently displayed in the editor to test the results of the transform
  • Other HL7Spy 3.0 Features/Improvements:
