Channels in Mirth Connect: Managing Message Flows in Complex Healthcare Environments

Channels in Mirth Connect are the foundation for managing the flow of messages between systems. Each channel can include source and destination connectors, transformers, and scripts to ensure that messages are processed and delivered correctly.


Types of connectors:

  • Source connector: Receives data from an external system (HTTP Listener, File Reader, Database Reader).
  • Destination connector: Sends data to external systems (HTTP Sender, File Writer, Database Writer).

A well-configured channel ensures that messages are efficiently routed, filtering and transforming data as needed.

The flexibility of the connectors allows integration with any health system, ensuring smooth operation in complex environments.
