You copy an ADT message from production, scrub the obvious identifiers by hand, and use it as your test case. It passes. You build 13 more. They pass too.

Then you go live. And your first real patient — the 83-year-old with the hyphenated name, two insurance plans, and an encounter from 2009 — breaks the interface in the first hour.

The interface that passes on 14 test patients will fail on 14,000 real ones.

That's where Post comes in.

Test

Generate clinically realistic messages for every standard your hospital uses. Vendor-specific patterns — the way Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH actually format their messages. Lock patient state so every message in a workflow stays coherent.

Protect

Remove all 18 HIPAA identifiers on your machine. No data leaves. Linked messages stay linked. Date-shifted, name-substituted, referential integrity preserved. Compliance without the legal review.

Compare

Field-level diff between two messages or two directories. See exactly what changed, where, and whether it matters. HTML reports you can hand to your team lead or attach to a go-live checklist.
