Encrypt/Encode selected PHI in outbound HL7 message

Scenario that repeats once in a while is Iguana User asking how to encrypt selected PI/PHI fields in outbound HL7 message before this message is sent to downstream HIS/LIS/RIS/etc…

This examples offers implementation of all options available with ‘filter‘ module.

Custom module can be used for encryption/encoding, if someone doesn’t want to use Iguana’s built-in ‘filter’ module.

This example will encode/encrypt fields “Driver’s License Number – Patient”, “Ssn Number – Patient”, and “Patient Name”. List of fields to encrypt/encode can be easily modified.

This example is shamelessly based on Formatting output HL7 without trailing | characters example.
