Real workflows, exactly as they run in the app — no mock-ups, no marketing gloss.

Split the editor and pick a different tab for each pane — edit a field in the structured editor and watch the raw HL7 update instantly above it.

One install replaces the pile of scripts, spreadsheets, and hand-rolled listeners you're testing with today.
Send messages over MLLP or raw TCP to any endpoint, and see exactly what comes back: full ACK/NACK capture with round-trip timing. Turn on the built-in listener to catch inbound messages and test from the other side.
Edit raw HL7 directly, use the structured field editor for precision, or the parsed view for readability — split-screen lets you run two at once. Compare two messages side by side to spot exactly what changed.
Load a whole file of messages and step through them one at a time, or all at once. Insert, delete, or append messages as needed, then send the entire batch in a single pass.
Skip writing HL7 from scratch. Ready-made templates across ADT, ORU, ORM, SIU, MDM, MFN, DFT, VXU, RDE, OML, REF, and ACK generate a realistic message in one click — or generate hundreds from a CSV.
Share a message with a colleague or vendor without exposing real patient data. Strip or scramble identifying fields like name, MRN, and date of birth, and save your preferred settings as a reusable preset.
Simulate an interface engine without standing one up. Define conditional routing rules on MSH, PID, PV1, and other fields to forward, log, or drop messages — plus auto-responders and load testing.
From read-only review to full enterprise deployment, choose the licence that matches how each machine is used.
All tiers include a 30-day free trial and free updates within your major version.
Download, pick a template, hit send. That's it.
