Once upon a time, there was a hospital that decided to introduce a new soup on its menu. It was called "HL7 soup" and it promised to be a game-changer for hospital nutrition. But as it turned out, the soup was a lot more complicated than anyone had anticipated.
The first person to try the soup was Dr. Smith, who was on call that evening. He sat down at the cafeteria table and took a sip of the soup. Suddenly, he was hit with a barrage of information - patient records, lab results, medication lists - it was all flooding into his brain.
Dr. Smith's eyes widened in surprise. "What the heck is in this soup?" he exclaimed.
"It's HL7 soup!" replied the cafeteria worker with a smile.
Dr. Smith shook his head in disbelief. "I don't think I can handle this much data right now. Can I just have a regular chicken noodle soup, please?"
But the cafeteria worker insisted that HL7 soup was the way to go. "Trust me, Dr. Smith, this soup will change your life," she said.
So, Dr. Smith took another sip of the soup. And sure enough, he started to feel a strange sensation in his stomach. It was like his body was trying to parse and process all of the information that was coming in. He began to sweat, and his heart rate started to increase.
Suddenly, Dr. Smith keeled over, unconscious. The cafeteria worker rushed to his side, calling for help.
The hospital staff quickly discovered that the soup had been created using an HL7 data model, which was designed to help hospitals exchange information between systems. But somehow, the soup had gone awry, and it was causing patients to experience a deluge of data overload.
From that day forward, the hospital decided to stick with more traditional soup recipes. And Dr. Smith recovered just fine, but he still couldn't look at a bowl of soup without feeling a little bit queasy.
The moral of the story? When it comes to hospital nutrition, sometimes it's best to keep it simple. And if you're going to experiment with new recipes, maybe leave the HL7 data models out of the kitchen.
