HL7 Transformation

In Iguana, scripted transformation is a easy and fast way to modify incoming HL7 messages. For example, you can use scripted transformation to remove confidential data (such as patient names) from a set of messages.

In this tutorial, you will create an Iguana configuration that uses scripted transformation to remove Z-segments from incoming HL7 messages and replace patient name fields with the text string fff. To accomplish this, you will:

• Acquire some sample messages;
• Use Chameleon to set up a VMD file that defines the scripted transformation to be performed;
• After transformation, route the transformed messages to an LLP client and to a file.

	This tutorial only shows a small sample of the capability of scripted transformation. For more information, see Scripted Transformation in the Chameleon section of the manual.
