Creating a simple project

(c) 2007-2008 Hermetech International Ltd.

For demonstration purposes all project / code examples will be using Visual Basic .Net 2005. Note that this document is intended for HL7 professionals, it is beyond the scope of this document to explain what HL7 is and how it is implemented. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of the HL7 message structure and data requirements at least as it pertains to your particular objective. Feel free to contact customer service (US#254-549-0825) to discuss your project requirements and goals. We will be more than happy to give you our opinion (for free and worth 10x what you pay for it) of whether anything within our arsenal of HL7 tools would be beneficial and how.
