1. MARC-HI Everest Framework HL7v3 API Architecture Overview February 2, 2010

2. Agenda Introduction Overview – What is the Everest Framework? – Components – From HL7v3 MIF to XML Instance Developer Experience

3. What is the Everest Framework? Everest is the foundation for an HL7v3 Messaging API – Class/Object representation of structures from pCS MIFs – Improved v3 experience Extensive documentation in developer’s IDE Parameterized constructors, operators, and helper functions – Flexible ITS and Transport layers – Current version.NET based

4. Components Data-Types – Hand written – Combination of R1 and R2 data type structures – Provide validation, operator overloading and other valuable functionality (compression, formatting data, etc..) RMIM Classes – Automatically generated from MIF v2

5. Components (Cont’d) Formatters – (De)Serializes class structures a variety of formats (XML, Binary, etc...) – Can be combined – Provide validation support – Optimizes mass processing of HL7v3 structures Connectors – Transports classes to/from remote endpoints using HL7v3

8. From MIF to Instance Application Code Application Code MIF v2 Use Structures No ITS? Create <PRPA_IN1012.. <id root=“” XML ITS1.0 with DT R1

9. RMIM Application Code Sending the Instance <PRPA_IN1012.. <id root=“” Send <PRPA_IN1012.. <id root=“… <versionCod Remote System
