Description: Messaging Workbench (MWB) is a multi-purpose productivity technology for Health Seven (HL7) V2.x implementers. This technology facilitates the rapid development of specifications and reports. Also, it incorporates an online message validation service and a message generator for use in testing.

Messages can be created based upon the library files that represent each version of the HL7 standard, by reverse entry or through manual entry. Additional libraries can be developed for conventions that are implemented locally. The software includes an MWB diagram-bench which facilitates a variety of sizeable and configurable shapes to create multiple free form diagrams for each profile. Diagrams can also be imported from other solutions that produce Bitmap Image File (BMP) or Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) output.

A wide array of reports can be generated, printed, and exported. The software can also generate test messages for designed profiles and capture transactions that can be validated against designed profiles. MWB can also be used to record comments about profiles. This technology stores data locally.

This technology`s documentation has not been updated to state it operates the latest version of Windows, however, system scans show it actively installed on Windows 10 machines.
