Convert HL7 ADT Realtime messages into a single BATCH file

[Bill Rambo]

I have the McKesson Horizon Clinicals system sending Realtime HL7 ADT messages to Cloverleaf.  The receiving system wants all the messages for the day transmitted in a single BATCH file (HL7 format). This means the file would look like this:   FHS  BHS    BTS FTS.

How do I get the realtime messages into the BATCH format? This is for Syndromic reporting to the SC-DHEC state agency using Phin-MS to send the BATCH file.

We are on Cloverleaf Ver 5.6 running on Linux 5 Redhat.

We do the same thing for New York State, except that they allowed us to remove the BTS and FTS segments if we used their newer communication software (UPHN-lite).

So thats no help to you, but it sure looks like a two step process:

– have an online pair of threads that accumulate to a file all day,

– and then a batch pair of threads that you start with a cron script which first shuts down the online threads, then wraps the file’s content with the BTS and FTS segments and sends the file to the appropriate destination and finally backs up and clears the file before restarting the online threads.

Here is a previous post of a similar conversation to get you started, and I’m sure there are many others:
