HPRIM Configurator
HPRIM makes it possible to exchange data among health care professionals. For example, medical labs, clinical services and hospitals facilities, blood center, radiology facilities. HPRIM plays the role of HL7 in France.
HPRIM messages are created to exchange data among health care professionals. Exchanged data can be medical, such as test results, or administrative and financial, such as identity elements, billing elements, or payment elements.
The HPRIM recommendation is based on the ASTM American standard for the message structure definition part. This is ASTM E12-38: version 4.2 of August 2nd 1991.
The codifications that can be used for the exam denomination are defined by the technical commission H.PR.I.M.
The message definition files that are used by HPRIM are similar to those used for HL7. HPRIM files are stored in formats/hprim.
These files define the format:
-
Datatypes
Primitive data types for fields
-
Fields
One line defining each field
-
Segments.idx
One line summarizing each segment
-
Segments/*
One file defining each segment. The file name is the segment identifier.
-
Messages.idx
One line summarizing each message
-
Messages/*
One file defining each message. The file name is the same as the message name.
