HL7Message Analyzer.

Paste any HL7 v2 message, understand every field with validation hints, scrub PHI before sharing, import or export CSV and JSON, see what typically comes next, and draft a correct ACK — without a vendor toolkit.

What is the HL7 Message Analyzer?

HL7 v2 still carries orders, results, and patient updates across hospitals. The HL7 Message Analyzer is a free, client-side tool for radiology IT and interface analysts: decode a pipe-delimited ER7 message, inspect segments and fields, learn the conversation around it, and generate an ACK that echoes the right control ID. Export the Inspect table as CSV or JSON, or import those files (including JSON you edited). Nothing is uploaded — parsing stays in your browser.

Features

  • Paste raw HL7 v2 / ER7 — including MLLP-framed wire logs, stripped before parsing
  • Drill into segments, fields, and components with plain-language labels
  • Educational IHE RAD hints — empty control IDs, missing PID/accession, bad ACK echoes, cancel orders, MRG merge fields
  • Build AA, AE, or AR acknowledgments with the correct MSA-2 control ID echo
  • Generate order-response (ORR) and result (ORU) shells from an ORM — copy-ready stubs
  • Related conversation templates for ADT, ORM, ORU, SIU, and ACK, prefilled from your paste
  • Side-by-side Compare view for control-ID and PID mismatches
  • Batch picker for logs containing several MSH segments
  • Export visible Inspect rows as CSV or JSON
  • Import a CSV, JSON, or raw HL7 file back in — including JSON you edited in the table
  • One-click local PHI scrub of names, MRNs, accessions, and addresses
  • Original message panel always keeps your untouched paste — back to original anytime
  • Deep-link from an inspected order into the Worklist tool with accession context
  • Keep the PACS Admin tool one click away
  • Save local message snippets for quick reuse
  • Practice interface-fault challenges — bad ACK echo, ADT^A40 merge, ORM missing accession
  • Runs entirely client-side — nothing you paste is ever uploaded

Questions

What is the HL7 Message Analyzer?
A free, client-side HL7 v2 / ER7 tool: paste a message, inspect segments and fields, import or export CSV and JSON, get validation and IHE RAD hints, scrub PHI locally, and build ACK, ORR, or ORU stubs.
Is my HL7 message uploaded?
No. Parsing stays in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server. Prefer synthetic data before sharing screenshots.
Is this a certified interface engine?
No. It is an educational analyzer, not a certified interface engine or conformance tester. Use it to learn and troubleshoot, not as a production validator.
