People love to bitch about HL7, but it gets far too much vitriol compared to X12. You want to talk about an antiquated format that should be taken out back and shot, here is your target.

The annoying part is the QACH CORE Connectivity Rule has finally made interacting with health care partners for X12 transactions suck less by providing standard REST and SOAP interfaces for transaction exchange, but we couldn’t be bothered to implement a less shitty transaction format.

HL7 is a work of art in comparison.
