Mapping HL7 type values | ipf-modules-hl7-kotlin

The Mapping Service is part of the IPF Core features. After all, although often used in HL7 processing, code system mapping is not a feature that is inherently exclusive for HL7.

What remains specific to IPF’s HL7 v2 support, however, is that the mapping extensions can be applied directly on all HAPI message types.

Example

Given the following mapping example (in Groovy):

    mappings = {
        encounterType(['2.16.840.1.113883.12.4','2.16.840.1.113883.5.4'],
             E : 'EMER',
             I : 'IMP',
             O : 'AMB'
        )

        vip(['2.16.840.1.113883.12.99','2.16.840.1.113883.5.1075'],
             Y      : 'VIP',
             (ELSE) : { it }
        )

        messageType(
             'ADT^A01' : 'PRPA_IN402001',
             (ELSE) : { throw new HL7Exception("Invalid message type", 207) }
        )
    }

The mapping functions can be directly applied on composite or primitive field objects:

    // Mapping primitives
    assertEquals("I", msg["PV1"][2].value)
    assertEquals("IMP", msg["PV1"][2].map("encounterType")

    // To map a Composite field, you can write
    assertEquals("PRPA_IN402001", msg["MSH"][9].map("messageType")
