Developer guides
Build an HL7 interface in Python
The four building blocks — Connection, Router, Handler, Message — with a complete worked example, the commit gate, and testing.
HL7 over MLLP in Python
Receive and send HL7 v2 over MLLP, route and transform in plain Python, and use MLLP-over-TLS.
HL7 v2 to FHIR in Python
Map HL7 v2 fields to a FHIR resource in a code-first handler and deliver it to a FHIR REST server.
Concepts & playbooks
Migrating from a legacy engine
A vendor-neutral playbook: inventory, re-express your interfaces as Python, validate and shadow, then cut over with rollback.
Self-hosted & PHI-safe
Why PHI never leaves your infrastructure, where the engine runs, and how it's secure by default.
More than just an HL7 interface engine
A capable HL7 v2 engine — and a broad healthcare interface engine that also connects FHIR, X12/EDI, and DICOM.
Understanding throughput
What really sets the message rate — partner round-trips, ordering, and why a raw messages-per-day number misleads.
