The EasyHL7 ActiveX Components
An HL7 toolkit designed to help HL7 software developers provide HL7 integration for
their existing applications cheaply, quickly and reliably.
Royalty-free! When
your applications are ready to be deployed to your customers you generate your own
run-time license
and pay NO redistribution or run-time fees.
Attention Visual Studio .Net Developers! If you purchase (or already own) a license for the ActiveX Components
you automatically own a developer's license for our new product the
EasyHL7 Managed Code Objects for
Visual Studio .Net! Developing HL7 solutions in Visual Studio .Net just got a lot easier.
NEW PRICING POLICY for ActiveX component license holders. When
you purchase (or own) a license for the ActiveX Components you can purchase the
Commando HL7 Workbench for half price
(US$200.00)!
Using these HL7 components allows developers of integrated HL7 solutions
to design, test, deploy, and implement HL7 software quickly and easily
in a RAD (Rapid Application Development) development environment like
MS Visual Basic or MS Visual Studio .Net. By taking the development
focus away from the complexities of HL7, developers are better able
to concentrate effort where it is really needed, that is to say, on
the data content rather than the structure. Whether you are creating
an HL7 interface that will receive HL7 data that you need to import
into your own database, or an outbound interface where you create
HL7 messages from your own data and send them to another application,
the simple to use properties and methods available in the EasyHL7
components will speed up your total development time significantly.
Implemented as two (2) activeX DLLs (EHL7.dll and EHL7Interface.dll) also
allows you to divide your application development into 2 categories:
- Data Processing: Use the objects contained in EHL7.dll to
process inbound HL7 message data, or create outbound HL7 messages provides
a platform that is 'safe' for creating system service applications, web
or browser based applications, or silent work-horse type applications.
- User Interfaces: The EHL7Interface.dll
provides many built-in user interfaces that are available for you to include
in your applications as you see fit. For example, the HL7 file manager interface
provides you with a built-in, robust, HL7 data viewer that you can include
in your own application with 1 small block of code. It can be called from your
application to open an HL7 file on disk OR you can pass HL7 messages in
memory directly to the file manager to open for viewing. Built-in reports (for both
HL7 structure definitions and HL7 messages) HL7 definition
viewing, annotating and reporting interfaces are also available.
The problem with HL7 integration for the small to medium scale medical
software development community has always been the lack of simple, reasonably
priced tools that will allow them to concentrate their time (and their budget)
on developing their own software, rather than worrying about the continuing
problem of linking their system to others via HL7. When combined with our
HL7 Listener and/or
HL7 Router
software you can create complete, end to end
HL7 interfaces that are scalable, reusable, and affordable.
