Mirth Java-based open source HL7 Framework

David Kelton pointed me to this new open source HL7 processing framework called Mirth. I haven’t tried it out yet but it’s pedigree, design, platform, and architecture looks really good at first glance. Here’s how they describe the tool:

Mirth is an open source cross-platform HL7 interface engine that enables bi-directional sending of HL7 messages between systems and applications over multiple transports. By utilizing an enterprise service bus framework and a channel-based architecture, Mirth allows messages to be filtered, transformed, and routed based on user-defined rules. Creating HL7 interfaces for existing systems becomes easy using the web-based interface and channel creation wizard which associates applications with Mirth engine components.

Definitely worth checking it out. If any of you out there are using, I’d love to hear what you think.
