Introduction

Getting ones hands on HL7 data is one of the biggest pains in the proverbial even for us. Even getting hold of test data can be difficult since companies can be embarrassed by how non-standard their data is.

Kind of reminds me when I was reading into genetics in my teens. It seems like it was all about E. Coli and you couldn’t find studies on anything else. This is a bit silly isn’t it? A company that provides HL7 tools ought to have a whole lot more HL7 test data to show people.

So do everyone a favour! Since everyone could do with more HL7 test data send me some of what you have and I promise to put it up here. (just make sure it’s not real data so we don’t all get sued…)
