Optimization of the HL7 Schema documentation.

Optimization of the HL7 Schema documentation.


We are currently documenting our interfaces and message & segment structures in additional documents. This is because the documentation options for HL7v2 messages within IRIS are not sufficient.

The use of Igamt-2 works, but it is also an effort to document the structures in IRIS and there.

It would help us a lot if there were more comment options within the HL7 schema definition and the existing ones could be formatted accordingly using HTML tags (tables, headings, line breaks and hyperlinks).


There should be an additional documentation field for the following objects:

- Schema category

- Message Structure

- Segment Structure

- Segment field Description

It should also be possible to export the Schema definition individually. Similar to the production export.
