Create Trigger and Invoke Connections that Support the HL7 and FHIR Standards

You must create trigger (inbound) and invoke (outbound) connections to communicate with applications that support the HL7 or FHIR standards.

Create MLLP Adapter Connections

You can create MLLP Adapter trigger and invoke connections for integrations to communicate with health care systems that use HL7 version 2. Separate adapter connections are required for a trigger (incoming) and an invoke (outgoing).
  • Trigger connection: The MLLP Adapter listens for and receives inbound HL7 messages from an application.
  • Invoke connection: The MLLP Adapter establishes a connection and sends outbound HL7 messages to an application.

See Create an MLLP Adapter Connection in Using the MLLP Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.

Create a FHIR Connection

You can exchange health care data using the FHIR standard in XML or JSON. You configure the FHIR Adapter to allow FHIR resources (for example, a patient resource, encounter resource, and others) to be used as outbound (invoke) messages in Oracle Integration. The is similar to the REST Adapter, but with a FHIR-specific configuration experience.

As an alternative, you can also configure the REST Adapter to allow FHIR resources to be used as inbound (trigger) and outbound (invoke) messages.
