One of the great features of HL7Spy is its ability to quickly load files of varying sizes. Whether you have a 1KB file or a 100MB file, HL7Spy can handle it. Plus, it autodetects most file types and allows you to specify the format of unusual files. Viewing messages is easy with HL7Spy's intuitive layout. Field names and values are decoded according to the HL7 standard, and there are many additional features that make viewing messages a breeze.

Editing messages is simple with HL7Spy. You can edit messages directly or use the Segment Editor to deal with field locations and escape characters automatically. Searching messages is easy too. You can build complex queries against whole messages or particular fields. Sorting large message collections is a breeze and generating statistics is simple.

When it comes to validation, HL7Spy has you covered. You can use c# (vb coming soon) to write sophisticated validation routines. Compared to other tools, HL7Spy offers much more than simple table validation. You can validate exam state transitions, verify patient names are not modified during an ORM or ORU update, and much more.

Transformations are also a powerful tool in HL7Spy. You can modify messages using HL7 defined classes. For example, pid.PatientName_05.First=SMITH^JOHN^D, sets the first patient name of the message to John Smith. Generating reports is simple, and the ability to send and receive messages over the network using MLLP is an added bonus. You can even view ACKs and / or NACKs.

Overall, HL7Spy is a robust tool with a plethora of features that make it an excellent choice for anyone in need of an HL7 tool.
