The notes clarify that there were no updates, removals, or deprecations in the Zurich or Australia releases except for new features introduced in Australia. This release primarily enhances inbound HL7 message handling and processing capabilities.
Key Features
- HL7 v2.x Inbound REST API: Enables reception of HL7 v2.x ADT messages from Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems over HTTP. It uses the HAPI HL7-over-HTTP convention to accept raw pipe-delimited ER7 message bodies and returns standard HL7 acknowledgment (ACK) responses automatically, eliminating the need for custom scripting on the integration engine side.
- HL7 Message Log: Every inbound HL7 message is logged with its raw payload, ACK response, metadata (such as message type, trigger event, sending application/facility, and message control ID), and processing status. These metadata fields are queryable and usable as trigger conditions in ServiceNow Flow Designer workflows.
- Parser Configurations: Incoming messages are parsed according to configurable parser profiles that define which HL7 segments and fields to extract and how to output them as structured JSON in the message log. This no-code parser enables hospitals to automate workflows without requiring HL7 expertise.
- Demo Parser Configurations: Ready-to-edit demo configurations are provided for common ADT message types—A01 (Admit), A02 (Transfer), A03 (Discharge), and A08 (Update). These cover key segments (EVN, PID, PV1) and can be cloned and customized for specific hospital needs.
Activation and Installation
The HL7 v2.x Integration in Australia is delivered as a separate application available through the ServiceNow Store. Customers must request and install this application to activate the integration on their instances.
Additional Information
No changes were noted for browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or other related areas between Zurich and Australia releases. The integration works seamlessly with the HL7 v2.x Inbound REST API to streamline HL7 message processing within ServiceNow.
