This post defines an approach which can be used for development of Enterprise Service Bus to enable communication using both HL7V2.x and HL7V3.0. The approach is based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to better align the solution with the business. Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has emerged as the best proven, fastest and simplest way to implement SOA and offers dramatic productivity and ROI improvements over traditional integration technologies. Figure below a schematic representation of proposed ESB involving applications communicating using both HL7V2.x and HL7V3.0. ESB Model SOA simplifies the complexity in integration by the provision of a common infrastructure for service communication, mediation, transformation, and integration. ESB serves as the backbone for an SOA implementation. The ESB will provide the following services Transport Services: The transport services need to support multiple commun
