I know that folks I work with that do consulting on our data integration products know a lot about the health industry, so they might be able to turn something around very quickly, though it would mean buying one of our products. I'm sure there's also other experts in the field that could write something that would work directly with PostgreSQL. There's also a number of HL7 related projects on sourceforge (http://lnk.nu/sourceforge.net/9fj/); one of them might prove useful. -- Jim C.
