No, if you google for "hl7 open source" or "hl7 site:sourceforge.net" you'll see several other projects. But Mirth is by far the most complete and polished open source HL7 product out there, and it is well supported, at least in the US. If Argus Connect weren't tied to the Oz-only HeSA PKI, then it would be second after Mirth for open source HL7 sophistication and maturity, world-wide, IMHO. However, Argus' HeSA dependence means it is merely a curiosity as far as anyone for whom HeSA is of no importance is concerned (that is, most of the planet including large sections of the Australian health care system). Syan Tan replaced the HeSA bits of Argus with the generic BouncyCastle PKI libraries in a weekend, but that was using an ancient version of the Argus source code when the open source code still lagged way behind the current code. An exercise worth repeating now that a more recent Argus codebase is available under an open source license. Or just use Mirth.
