When your getting started with BizTalk & HL7 there are a few resources which will give you a good understanding of the capabilities of BizTalk in this area.

There are 4 really good tutorials in the main BizTalk documentation which can help you really get into some of the features of HL7 for BizTalk.  These should definitely be one of your first points of call.

This is a walk through of some of the features within the accelerator.  Its probably not as time consuming to go through this article as the full samples in the Microsoft documentation so this article will probably help you to get up and running and do your first HL7 process a bit quicker.

This is a really nice walk through by Tomasso Groenendijk about this scenario and its nice to see the HL7 features being linked up with the ESB Toolkit.

This is an open source project and video by Michael Stephenson showing how you can use behaviour driven development techniques and automated testing to simulate your HL7/MLLP interfaces.

It says "getting started" but this doc is actually quite full on but provides info about HL7 v3 usage.
