Clarification on Validation Warnings and Alerts in HL7 Message
Jyothi Yella
Hi Team,
After validating our HL7 message, we received a result of ‘0 errors’, but there were some warnings and alerts reported in the validation summary.
- We would like to understand the significance of these warnings and alerts. Specifically:
- Are warnings and alerts acceptable during certification or production submission?
Do any of them require specific action or resolution before proceeding?
Could you please confirm if it is acceptable to move forward with these warnings and alerts, or if any corrections are necessary on our end?
Thank you for your support. We look forward to your guidance.
Regards,
Jyothi Yella

HI Jyothi,
Yes, the warning and alerts are acceptable during the certification process, and no they don’t require any specific action or resolution before proceeding. You can pass certification with warning and alerts.
From a higher level perspective you can think of these as “informational”. For example, an Alert may be issued because there is an element that is bound to an empty code set, so no validation is performed. This is OK, because the code set my be defined locally (and we don’t have that information to validate). So the tool is just alerting you to the fact that no validation was performed for that element (with respect to a code set).
Please see the “Understanding Validation” PowerPoint on the document tab for more insight.
