Message Workbench
The Message Workbench tool can handle several tasks around HL7 message conformance. Presumably among these is the ability to validate a message against a particular conformance profile.
NIST Message Validator
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has deployed a message validation tool for validating the public health messages for meaningful use. The tool is here. It will validate two immunization messages and the HL7 2.5.1 ORU_R01 ELR message to Public Health. There are several configuration choices. One warning: any field that the Implementation Guide calls "RE" or "Required but may be empty," is treated by the tool as "R" or "Required," so that it actually is not allowed to be empty.
Another warning: there is another NIST validation tool that validates Clinical Documents (CDA). Don't get confused.
MQF Validation tool
The PHIN Message Quality Framework has a tool for message validation here. The current use cases are PHIN Case Notification and PHILIP messaging. Presumably the tool could be expanded to handle the ELR HL7 2.5.1 ORU^R01 message to public health.
MSS Validation tool and services
This tool is based on prior work by the PHIN Message Subscription Service team. They work with state-level public health jurisdictions to create and deploy software that leverages the Rhapsody message broker engine from Orion Health for public health message exchange. One of the best developed sets of software is for Electronic Laboratory Reporting.
The people on this project are in the process of creating web and web service front ends to an instance of their software. An early version of it is available here: _______________________.
