ITK ADW MESH validator

The Interoperability Toolkit (ITK) Assessment Discharge and Withdrawal Notice (ADW) Message Exchange for Social Care and Health (MESH) validator has been developed to assist organisations who wish to send ADW messages over the MESH transport (either by client or API) to ensure that the messages they are constructing are valid according to ITK Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) schemas and requirements.

This standard will not be updated as there will be no further development on this product. This standard has now officially been retired.

It should be noted that the product does not support the Discharge to Assess process.

Any development to this standard will be at the supplier’s risk as it does not support government policy.

The FHIR messaging service will continue to remain available to support existing providers who have implemented the messaging service.


To use the Validator, download the pack provided below which consists of a zip file containing:

  • installer Jar file*
  • user guide
  • example .ctl and .dat files

*Please note installation of JRE 1.8.0 or later is a pre-requisite for use of this validation tool.
