HL7 Sender

Archived

This repository was originally a tool I frequently used for testing HL7 messages with projects at a previous company. While it may still be useful, I have not and do not plan to provide any further development for this project. Please feel very free to fork this tool as you wish. If you'd like to take ownership over a fork in the future, feel free to drop me a note!

About
