Hi David McKenzie and all
A thread from prior discussion, based around what was then HL7 v2.3, is on the archive at
proposal for HL7 v2.3 to gnumed parsing
concrete mappings of v2.3 messages onto gnumed measurements
simple HL7 parser (in Python)
Possibly the schema has not, in the meantime, changed (?) as far as lab measurements.
I await a reply from my regional data broker as to whether their version of HL7 has changed in the 18 months since I was last sent some test messages... it could be possible that they are now on HL7 V3.

If no-one else would like to do this task, I am happy to look into it with your guidance. I was only looking at Mirth (very briefly) the other day. Let me know if you would like me to help out. I am a J2EE/java developer who has been lurking on the GNUMed devel list for a while and thought that it was time that I should contribute something :-) I am familiar with most of the technologies in project Mirth (J2EE, JBoss, Web Services, XSLT, etc...) however, I am not that familiar with HL7 messgages but interested to learn.
Is there someone that can give me a clear picture as to exactly what needs to be done. And I will see how I go. I may have a lot more questions as I go as I am not that familiar with the GNUMed codebase.
Regards, David Mackenzie.

That would be another helpful thing the Java person could do for us - setup Mirth to parse your HL7 input which will show us where the GNUmed backend lacks fields to support the incoming data. I would see to it that the necessary fields are added. We would then write a fairly simple grid-based viewer as a first iteration.
Just added Mirth as a prospective package for the Debian-Med project. Even if I'm not over optimistic that we will have packages soon it should be listed to remind people that there is something useful out there.
Kind regards
Andreas.
