ViewPoint 5.6 2 HL7 Interface Reference Manual Version 6

1. Introduction

This document describes the HL7 interface, as it relates to the ViewPoint 5.5 application.

The ViewPoint (VP) HL7 Interface communicates with a Hospital Information System (HIS) or other third-party transcription systems via HL7 formatted messages that import relevant clinical information. This interface is designed to send and receive messages using the TCP/IP protocol, via a socket connection, and minimal layer protocol (MLP). These HL7 messages are created automatically, depending upon the event(s) within the ViewPoint application. The interface communication is at the server level, rather than at each individual client workstation, although a client is able to produce the necessary triggers. Successful implementation requires the assistance of a ViewPoint Interface Specialist, who can provide training, technical, and project management information.

2. Assumptions

a) It is assumed that the reader of this document is familiar with the HL7

standard. This document is not intended to be used standalone, but should be used in conjunction with the HL7 Specification Version 2.4*.

b) The HL7 interface can only be processed using the TCP/IP protocol.

c) The VP customer is responsible for ensuring that the receiving HIS or

transcription system is capable and ready to receive HL7 messages from VPHiscomServer for processing.

*HL7 standards committee members can acquire a free copy of the current HL7 specification from the Internet via the HL7 World Wide Web page (http://www.HL7.org). Non-members can order a copy from the same location or by contacting the appropriate representatives:

ViewPoint 5.6 3 HL7 Interface Reference Manual Version 6

3. Interface Workflow Overview

Inbound Workflow Overview

Supported incoming HL7 messages triggered from HIS systems are processed and their content saved into the local database.

Successfully processed messages are acknowledged. Messages, which for any reason were not processed, are rejected with a non-acknowledge ACK HL7 message (as defined in HL7 Specification 2.4). The VPHisComServer can log every incoming message and its internal processing.

Incoming streams that are not MLLP formatted are ignored.

Support of Movement Information

ViewPoint can receive and use information about patient movements. Since there is no HL7 standard yet, which describes how movement information should be transmitted, ViewPoint uses the ZBE segment. The chosen implementation should be compatible to the IHE standard and to the German extension of the HL7 2.4 standard.

The ZBE segment is optional and can be included in every ADT message. In order to be IHE compatible, ViewPoint also accepts the ADT^Z99 event for updating movement information.

ViewPoint requires that the Movement-ID sent in ZBE-1 is unique across all movements in the system.

For every message containing a ZBE segment, ViewPoint will use the field PV1-3 (Assigned Patient Location) for the Medical and Nursing ward.

Unless ZBE-3 specifies the Movement End Time, ViewPoint assumes Movement Start + 24h as Movement End Time for movements of type ‘visit’.

ViewPoint treats UPDATE or INSERT commands similarly; if a movement record exists in the ViewPoint database, it will be updated. If it doesn’t exist, it will be inserted.

ViewPoint uses the trigger event the value of PV1-2 and ZBE-4 to determine some additional information about the movement as shown in the following table:

ViewPoint 5.5 offers an interface to populate outcome information through HL7 AD^A08 events containing the non-standard segment ZDD. The association between incoming outcomes and existing medical cases in ViewPoint follows the algorithm described in the diagram below. It shows all the preconditions and filters that have been taken into consideration in order to avoid a wrong assignation of outcomes.

ViewPoint 5.6 5 HL7 Interface Reference Manual Version 6

ViewPoint 5.6 6 HL7 Interface Reference Manual Version 6

Outbound Workflow Overview

Processing of Acknowledge Messages

ViewPoint expects to receive an acknowledge message for each message sent. ViewPoint waits a configurable time period for such a message (10 – 120 seconds).

If no acknowledge is received within the configured time frame, ViewPoint tries to resend the message after some time. No other messages are sent by ViewPoint unless an acknowledgment is received (or the message was removed from the queue by an administrator).

ViewPoint uses the field MSA-1 to check whether the acknowledgment was positive or negative (AA: accepted, AE: error). ViewPoint checks the field MSA-2 to ensure that the acknowledge message belongs to the message that was just sent by ViewPoint. If MSA2 is empty, ViewPoint always assumes, that the ACK message belongs to the message that was just sent.

ViewPoint ignores any acknowledge message which is not related to the last message sent by ViewPoint.

If ViewPoint does not receive an acknowledge message within the configured time frame, it will terminate the connection to the socket of the receiving system, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect to the socket.

In rare circumstances, ViewPoint will send a message twice. These duplicates can be identified by the receiving system by means of the Message Control ID. This can happen e.g. when:

• Network problems prevented the reception of an acknowledge message.

• The VPHISComServer process was killed during a send operation.

4. HL7 Data Description

The VPHiscomServer HL7 interface uses a socket connection. For the import, the HL7 interface process is a server on a configurable port. The message itself has got a HL7 MLLP frame, i.e. a leading \x0B and trailing \x1C\x0D. Acknowledge messages can be returned after a message is received.

Delimiter Definition

ViewPoint supports the standard HL7 encoding rules. Other encodings are not supported.

ST, TX or FT data type, or for use with the data (fourth) component of the ED data type. If no escape characters are used in a message, this character may be omitted. However, it must be present if subcomponents are used in the message.

The data types in this section are listed in alphabetical order.

Note

The examples given in this section do not specify the choice of the component or subcomponents for data types which contain multiple components or subcomponents. This must be specified in the field definitions that follow the formal segment attribute tables to a maximum length of 64K.

Except for the TS data type and the maximum or minimum lengths for several other data types (CE, PN, TX, FT), the field length of HL7 attributes is specified in the segment attribute tables, and any specific length of the components or subcomponents of those attributes must be specified in the field definitions that follow the formal segment attribute tables. In general, HL7 does not specify the lengths of components and/or subcomponents.

In certain data type definitions, square brackets, “[ ]”, are used to specify optional parts of a data type (or of a data type component or subcomponent).

OBR – Observation Request Segment

The Observation Request (OBR) segment is used to transmit information specific to an order for a diagnostic study or observation, physical exam, or assessment. For ViewPoint, this single order corresponds to a single examination (or to a single pregnancy in case of FetaDoc). This segment is required and is non-repeating.

If the exam is not assigned to an order, than most of the fields of this segment remain empty. All those fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Export of discrete findings

The ViewPoint HL7 interface offers the possibility to export finding values in an ORU^R01 HL7 event, where each finding value is transmitted in a separate OBX segment. The values exported depend on the different ViewPoint flavors and are described in the table below.

Most of the values are coded according with the LOINC code system. However, some ViewPoint specific finding are not classified as LOINC topic, and, therefore, are exported with a proprietary identifier. The corresponding coding system for each finding value is also transmitted to the hospital information system as described in HL7 standard in OBX-3.3.
