Topic: Sample Hl7 Messages

I was wondering if there were any official sample hl7 (not FHIR) messages for each type of each version of the specification that could be used to validate hl7 tooling works correctly.

Many of the chapters of the base version have example messages as do most of the implementation guides (although those are often custom fit to a use case). There isn't a generic stockpile of sample messages. Are there specific messages types you're interested in?

@Craig Newman Hi, yes, I am looking for ORM^O01 sample messages for each version and specifically trying to test the OBX-2 and OBX-5 combination i.e. the datatype for OBX-5 is specified in OBX-2.

If you're mostly interested in orders and results messages check out the LOI (http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=152) and LRI (http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=279) implementation guides. They should have example messages. Chapters 4 and 7 of the base standard should also have some examples.

@Riki Merrick - do you know of any other good sets of example orders and results v2 messages?

LOI does not use ORM messages - these are specific for lab, so OML, but the NIST tooling has example messages: https://hl7v2-lab-r2-testing.nist.gov/labs-suite-tool/#/home go to the context based validation and chose the LOI EHR test plan and drill down. I thought there was a zip file to download all test cases under the documentation tab for test cases, but it's not coming up for me right now @Rob Snelick
