2 Appendix; Symphonia 3, Overview of the Product (Orion Systems) Symphonia 3 parses an extensive range of protocols including HL7, XML, HIPAA, X.12, EDIFACT, HCFA, ASTM, NCPDP, and user-defined formats. The core engine is supported on a variety of operating systems. Symphonia is an easy-to-use toolkit that allows vendors, consultants and other developers to rapidly add industry standard messaging to new, existing, and legacy applications. With Symphonia you can: Create message definitions from an extensive library of message formats Directly generate an Active-X object that implements the messages in your definition Generate documents automatically Customise standard message formats as required Define custom message structures, segments, fields, and compound data-types Define messages with separated fields and/or fixed-width fields Perform message validation and syntax checking, including field level validation 8 (13)

Symphonia Composer Composer is a Windows 95/98/2000/NT application that provides users with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for building message definitions. The Composer wizard simplifies the definition of standard messages by allowing the developer to select messages from the composer message libraries. Using Composer, building segment groups and messages is a simple matter of dragging the appropriate segment and dropping it into place. Building segments and compound data-types is as easy as filling out the details in a spreadsheet style form. Symphonia Engine The Symphonia Engine is available directly to C++ or Java programmers and also has a COM interface for programmers using COM aware development environments. The Engine's API provides a dynamic interface to the messages for the programmer. Direct Active-X Generation New Direct Active-X Generation technology wraps the Symphonia Engine with an Active-X component that provides a static interface to the messages. The Active-X objects may be used from any language that supports Active-X technology, for example, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, and MS Java. Automatic Document Generation Composer has the ability to produce message specifications in either RTF or HTML format by allowing each item to have a description and notes attached to it. The report style may be customised before it is produced. Direct Active-X Objects and Intellisense Symphonia's Direct Active-X Generation technology produces com objects that can be used in any com aware development environment (from VC++ to Word). The Active-X objects also provide intellisense information for environments with intellisense capability. Symphonia Explorer The Explorer testing tool provides the ability to test message definitions on production messages. When consuming messages, Explorer shows the data contained in the message in the message tree for each field. You may also produce message instances by filling in the data for each field of the message in the tree. The 'flat-wire' representation of the message is continually displayed so you can see the final message output at all times. A list of parsing errors for the message, showing missing fields and field over/under-flows etc is displayed and continually updated. Flat-wire messages can be read from or saved to disk files. You can also accept or create TCP/IP connections to remote systems for transferring messages. Encryption Symphonia 3 contains a powerful security sub system which allows powerful encryption and authentication security services to be included in messaging systems. The Symphonia interface provides developers with the ability to add strong encryption and authentication capabilities to their messaging quickly and easily, without needing to know any of the low-level details which make the encryption or authentication work. Because of this, Symphonia's encryption functions dramatically reduce the cost involved in adding security to new or existing messaging applications. Symphonia's encryption engine provides a number of widely-used security services and algorithms including implementations of the most popular encryption and authentication algorithms, Blowfish, 9 (13)

CAST, DES, triple DES, IDEA, RC2, RC4, RC5, Safer, and Safer-SK conventional encryption, MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD-160 and SHA hash algorithms, HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA, and HMAC- RIPEMD-160 MAC algorithms, and Diffie-Hellman, DSA, ElGamal, and RSA public-key encryption, with elliptic-curve encryption currently under development. Encryption COM Object This object allows you to encrypt/decrypt, and or sign/verify data so that the data may be securely transported over public networks such as the Internet. The encryption object also has a Key Generation Wizard. This Wizard may be used to generate private keys for use with PKC encryption algorithms. TCP/IP COM Object This object is used to communicate with remote systems using TCP/IP connections and allows messages to be wrapped using HL7 LLP or user-defined headers and trailers. The object can handle multiple simultaneous connections and create server and/or client connections. This added functionality reduces developer workload, and ultimately saves time and resource. Y2k Compliant The Symphonia Universal Messaging System is year 2000 compliant with dependencies on the operating system and any applications that use the Symphonia Tool Kit in the creation of messages. Symphonia Mapper Symphonia Message Mapper Provides Complex Mapping Capability The Mapper provides rapid mapping, translation and transport of data between hospital information systems with different data formats. Substantially Reduces Programming Time The Symphonia intelligent message mapper is an easy to use toolkit that allows hospital users to rapidly map and transport specific messages between new, existing and legacy applications. It has been designed and developed to enable data in a diverse range of formats to be exchanged easily, swiftly and accurately. The mapper can map from any format to virtually any other format. Using the Symphonia Message Mapper is easy... 1. Symphonia's composer analyses and displays each message in its hierarchical form. These messages are then imported into Symphonia's message mapper. 2. The Symphonia Message Mapper application displays two panes, each with a format ready to be mapped to the other. The user simply drags a component from one pane to its equivalent in the other. 3. When all the components have been connected this way, a map file is generated which is capable of mapping a message from one format to the other. This map file is stored in the message project file. Example of Mapping from HL7 2.3 to XML - The user-friendly Symphonia Mapper GUI makes it easy. One message format is in the left pane, the other format is in the right. Users simply drag and drop from one to the other - code creating the map is automatically generated in the lower pane. 10 (13)

Workspace Shows mapping structures being created (These structures can also be reused / repeated for use when creating other maps.) The Toolbar allows access to different areas within the mapping application. The complete mapping code can be viewed in one window, a test window can be displayed to test the mapping on an arbitrary message as well as on other functions. When beginning a mapping project, Symphonia creates two definition panes of content. In this example the HL7 is on the left and XML is on the right. Name of map being created Mapping technique: Drag and drop the matching components in each of the definition panes from one to the other. The code is automatically generated for this assignment. It is possible to drag a message component (or field) down into the code pane. This will place the full path to the items in the code pane below. This saves typing out the full path repeatedly. This is useful when setting hard coded values and when that item is a parameter to another map. Also, one of the message components may not need to be mapped, but only need its content altered. Displays external functions. These can be held in DLL's and called from the mapping code, for example, date formality, string manipulation and data type conversion. Mapping code is created here. (Shown as definition) Output pane Contains messages from the compiler commenting on any errors in your code and gives warnings. 11 (13)

Call over collections. The [*] symbol in the In.PID.HomePhoneNumber[*] indicates that the MapXTNTophon submap is to be called for each instance in the In.PID.HomePhoneNumber repeating item. Code Helper Toolbar Inserts code for commonly used logic, for example, a 'for loop', 'select' or 'ifstatement'. 12 (13)
