Health level 7 (HL7) is the standard of electronic data interchange in the health domain. We have developed a web-based message generation and validation system for testing the message format of the data exchange among hospitals and health organizations. Compared with other existing ones, this system has incorporated several novel functions that optimize medical data exchange and helps medical students in learning HL7 messages. When receiving HL7 message from another system with the hypertext transmission protocol or accepting an uploaded HL7 message file, the system shows the validation result through a web browser. In this platform, users may input and edit medical data on-line to test and generate standard HL7 messages. The system supports various data formats and is capable of transforming HL7 messages between the standard delimiter format and the extensible markup language format. This system has been successfully passed our system evaluation among 139 student users for HL7 training. Most of the users agreed that the system is helpful for medical data exchange.
健康水平7（HL7）是医疗领域电子数据交换的标准。我们开发了一个基于网络的消息生成和验证系统，用于测试医院和卫生组织之间数据交换的消息格式。与其他现有系统相比，该系统纳入了几个新颖的功能，优化了医疗数据交换，并帮助医学生学习HL7消息。当通过超文本传输协议从另一个系统接收HL7消息或接受上传的HL7消息文件时，系统会通过网络浏览器显示验证结果。在这个平台上，用户可以在线输入和编辑医疗数据，以测试和生成标准的HL7消息。该系统支持各种数据格式，并且能够在标准分隔符格式和可扩展标记语言格式之间转换HL7消息。该系统已在139名学生用户中成功通过了我们用于HL7培训的系统评估。大多数用户认为该系统对医疗数据交换很有帮助。
