HL7 is for patient data so we shouldn't need to interface directly with it. Possibly they are considering building an aggregation filter in Mirth to produce something like SDMX from the patient data. Don't know. I am not there to negotiate.
But you need to negotiate hard (on your side of the fence) to ensure that what comes out of this magic box will be suitable for dhis2 consumption. That is the way with these kind of switches .. in the end they are proxies for human negotiation :-) Much like telephone switches between phone operators for that matter.
