Need to send HL7 and Non HL7 messages in single TCP operation

Hi All,

I have a query:

Is it possible to send HL7 messages and Non HL7 Message such like Record Maps in a single TCP operation in ensemble?

Many Thanks,

Archunan,

Can you give some more details about your use case? I'm having trouble picturing what the downstream system should receive.

Should the receiving system just receive a single message that combines the HL7 and flat records together like this?

Hello Marc,

Yes . You are correct.

I will sent a HL7 message from a router and Flat records from another router. These two routers points to a single TCP Operation.

Receiving system will receive a HL7 message and a Flat record as you mentioned in a single TCP service.

Ex:

MSH|^~\&||HC6|||||MDM^T02|||2.5 EVN|T02|20180117094500 PID|||LD572046^^^HC6^MR||Smith^John||19301019|M|||1 Memorial Drive^^Cambridge^MA^02142||||||||063070516 PV1||O|||||ISCGP001^Moore^James|||||||EO|||||HSVN00006|||||||||||||||||||||||||20180117094500|20180117094500 TXA||Progress note||201801170945|JJ021^James^John||||ISCGP001^Moore^James|||19815952^TRANS OBX||FT|RTF^TRANS||Patient complaining of pain in right big toe.

FlatFileRow1Field1,FlatFileRow1Field2,FlatFileRow1Field3

FlatFileRow1Field1,FlatFileRow1Field2,FlatFileRow1Field3

...etc

Receiving system accepts both HL7 Messages and Flat records in a single TCP service.

Please let me know if  need more information.

Many Thanks,
