HL7 in Botswana

 

Hi everyone,

In Botswana they are discussing developing a software tool (MIRTH) to act as
a switchboard between all health systems. For example if you want to export
data from their patient-based system (IPMS) to the DHIS 2 for example, you
would use the MIRTH interface to do it. It essentially acts as a
post-office, simply passing the data between different systems.

They would like to use HL7 for MIRTH.

Have any of you done something similar in other countries?

Has anyone used HL7 before?
