<H3>Special Instructions</H3> Observation Processors run one instance of this test. <H3>Description</H3> In this test, the Observation Processor demonstrates for the Connectathon Monitor the method and outcomes of processing the values received in the observation message.  <p> The Monitor uses best judgment when observing the system. </p> <H3>Evaluation</H3>  The Connectathon Monitor will observe the Observation Processor application.   The operator of the Observation Processor system will be asked to demonstrate via the application's user interface, or some other method, that the contents of the observation message are processed in some way that is specific to that application.   This may be, for example, by including the observations within derivative products, such as clinical reports, databases or trans-coded / reformatted results. <p> In general, the Observation Processor is intended to be part of a larger system and not just middleware or a repository. The Connectathon Monitor is looking for a system (not necessarily polished) that a vendor would be willing to demonstrate as a product to a customer. The Connectathon Monitor will not allow a system to pass that whose functionaltiy is limited to ACKing the received HL7 observation messages, or which uses a series of command line tools to process observations. </p>
