HL7v2
The most widely adopted message standard for data exchange between healthcare organizations globally. Released in 1987, it uses a delimiter-separated text structure and covers dozens of message types including ADT, ORM, and ORU.

Funke's goal is to provide native parsing capabilities for HL7v2 on the Databricks platform.
Funke allows HL7v2 messages to be directly recognized, decomposed, and structured within a lakehouse environment without relying on external preprocessing toolchains.
HL7v2 is the messaging standard underpinning the operation of modern healthcare information systems, carrying data such as patient admissions, lab results, and medical orders.
HL7v2 (Health Level Seven Version 2) has iterated to the 2.x series since its release in 1987.
HL7v2 is currently the most widely used standard for data exchange among healthcare institutions worldwide, covering dozens of message types including ADT, ORM, and ORU.
The core structure of HL7v2 is composed of segments, each beginning with a three-letter code (such as MSH, PID, OBX), with fields separated by pipe characters, subfields separated by caret characters, and repeating fields separated by tilde characters.
HL7v2 messages exhibit significant variation in the presence, repetition count, and meaning of fields depending on the sending system, creating a problem of same-named fields with different semantic content.
Importing HL7v2 messages into analytics platforms such as Databricks typically requires going through cumbersome ETL transformations first in order to convert the semi-structured messages into queryable tabular data.
Healthcare organizations have traditionally relied on specialized integration engines (such as Mirth Connect, Rhapsody, and InterSystems HealthShare) to handle the interconnection between HL7v2 and downstream analytics systems.
Data undergoes at least one lossy transformation through the integration engine before reaching the analytics platform, with some nested structures or extended fields being discarded during mapping.
