Healthcare Testing Improved Through HL7 Support

Green Hat, a leading provider of software for testing SOA and integration projects, has today announced greatly enhanced support for healthcare integration projects.

LONDON – April 8 2008 – Green Hat is pleased to announce support for HL7 messaging in its automated testing solution for SOA and integration projects. Users can snoop existing HL7 messages and create them from first principles, as well as all the usual validation features. The functionality has already been proven on several healthcare projects, with customers from both hospital trusts and local service providers. Typical uses have included simulation of missing HL7 providers, and stubbing of the Spine.

Tony Rich, Head of IM&T at Wigan Wrightington and Leigh Hospital Trust, said "GH Tester allowed our PACs/RIS integration project to proceed smoothly through implementation and testing into production, without GH Tester all of these systems were just black boxes and fault diagnosis was a nightmare. We're about to start a bigger initiative with multiple vendors and GH Tester will be used extensively by each vendor to simulate the interfaces they will be connecting to".

Commenting on the announcement, Peter Cole, President & CTO, said "The healthcare market is becoming increasingly reliant on integration technologies, undertaking multi-vendor projects with huge technology risks. GH Tester helps healthcare IT professionals to dramatically reduce integration problems, whether they are XML based or otherwise, by offering HL7, web services and ebXML, all in one product, for the first time".
