dc.description.abstractPresently, Open Source Software (OSS) is being widely utilized in the healthcare networks. With the plurality of different OSS in healthcare network, integration between two or more medical systems is of prime importance. This triggers a need for software to integrate these various systems. Among these integrators, Health level 7 (HL7) is an interoperability communication standard in health care networks. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of some available open source HL7 connectors. After listing some open source connectors, a technical analysis has been done on these connectors, comparing various characteristics and properties of each connector. Open source connectors have also been compared with each other along the basis of user support features available in these connectors. Many of the projects have not been implemented practically on a real time basis. Just about two-third of the available connectors are implemented and used in a few health organizations. Security issues have not been discussed in any of the available connectors. We have found the mirth connector better as compared to others. Nevertheless, it still requires improvements in terms of security and features. It is concluded that there is a considerable development in the OSS for the healthcare integration engine. Nevertheless, still a wide range of OSS applications is in development to facilitate the consolidation among the hospitals.
