Mainspring Data Express
Mainspring – like the inner workings of a clock – it is the power source that facilitates the movement of cardiac
data within your clinic, and between various departments within your organization.
Mainspring Data Express is a comprehensive solution for your cardiac patients, bringing together device and
patient data from the Paceart System, the Medtronic CareLink Network, the CareLink Programmer, the Boston
Scientific LATITUDE®Patient Management system, the St. Jude Medical Merlin.net®Patient Care Network,
your EHR System, and local network.
In order to simplify the process of connecting and sharing demographic, scheduling, and device data between
Medtronic applications and electronic health record systems (EHRs), Medtronic has developed Mainspring
Data Express. This software application serves as the primary tool to move and share data for device patients.
Mainspring Data Express helps to streamlinethe implementation and on-going maintenance of datamovement
between applications.

CareLink Scheduling Integration
The Paceart-CareLink Scheduling Integration feature provides a way to automatically synchronize scheduling
between the CareLink Network and the Paceart System. If you schedule an appointment in CareLink, it will be
downloaded to the Paceart System; if you schedule an appointment in Paceart, it will be sent to CareLink.
Paceart regularly requests status information for appointments scheduled in CareLink. Schedules are either
updated nightly or when a clinician makes a request from the Paceart System.
If an appointment is created in CareLink, CareLink retains ownership until the appointment is sent to Paceart.
Once the Paceart System is updated to reflect the CareLink Network appointment, the appointment is owned
by Paceart.
If a remote appointment is created or modified in Paceart, the appointment is automatically created or updated
in CareLink. Ownership of the appointment remains with the Paceart System.
Paceart receives appointment status information that reflects the last known status as reported by CareLink.
The remote status is displayed in patient appointment information on the Paceart System. Paceart records the
completion and failure status details of this information in its log. Paceart scheduling requests that violate
CareLink Network scheduling rules are displayed as errors in the Paceart System Remote Status field.
When you schedule a remote appointment in Paceart, the Remote Status will show "Processing." Once the
appointment is successfully acknowledged by CareLink, the Remote Status will show "Scheduled." If the
appointment is not successfully sent to CareLink or if CareLink reports an error, the Remote Status will show
"Error." An "Error" status can be manually changed to "Ignore." Once the transmission is received by CareLink,
the Remote Status will show "Completed." If CareLink determines that an appointment was missed, the
Remote Status will show "Missed".
Contact your Paceart technical support specialists regarding support for appointment scheduling transfers on
the Medtronic CareLink Network.
16 | Connectivity Guide | Paceart Integration
CareLink Scheduling Integration Prerequisites
Before you configure CareLink Scheduling Integration, you must complete the following prerequisite:
• On the CareLink website, create an External System Account for Mainspring Data Express and enable the
Scheduling Integration feature.
Before you use CareLink Scheduling Integration, you must ensure that Paceart patient records and appointments
meet the following criteria:
• The Paceart patient record must have a birth date, a patient ID number, and a patient ID number type.
• Appointments created or updated in Paceart must have the patient remote follow-up service set to Medtr onic
CareLink Network, and the patient must have an active Medtronic ICD, ICM, or pacemaker that is supported
by the Medtronic CareLink Network. To find out if a device is supported, log into CareLink and click
Resources > CareLink Supported Implantable Devices.
Paceart/CareLink patient matching for a single patient
The primary match is on the patient ID number, patient ID number type, and the birth date. If either of these
are not present in the Paceart System, appointments will not be sent to CareLink. If the patient ID number and
patient ID number type is not present in the CareLink system, a demographic match is performed. The
configurable matching criteria include first name, middle initial, and gender in addition to the last name and
birth date which are always used. If the demographic match succeeds, CareLink will record the patient number
so future matches will be simpler and quicker.
This matching is performed on CareLink and is used when adding, updating and removing appointments, and
when updating remote appointment status.
Paceart/CareLink patient matching for a batch download
In this scenario, the Paceart System downloads a list of all CareLink patients and appointments and then
matches CareLink patients to Paceart patients. The primary matching is on the patient ID number, patient ID
number type, and the birth date. If the patient ID number and ID number type is not present in the CareLink
system a much stricter demographic match is performed. This requires a match on the first name, middle initial,
last name, gender, and birth date.
Configuring CareLink Scheduling Integration
1. To start Mainspring Data Express, go to Start > Programs > Medtronic Mainspring Data Express >
Medtronic Mainspring Data Express.
2. In the Medtronic Mainspring Data Express window, select CareLink Scheduling Integration and click

Paceart Optima HL7 Integration
View and Resolving Errors
In Paceart Optima you can view and resolve HL7 errors in Administration > Activity Log. The Patient
Management service logs all patient information changes from the HL7 protocol. Any additions, deletions, and
updates to patient records from HL7-based systems are logged under this service in the Activity Log. In some
instances a work item is created and requires a Paceart user or workgroup resolve the issue.
For a complete list of Activity Log Results refer to the Paceart Optima System Software User Manual or the
Paceart Optima online Help.
Paceart Optima Patient ID Configuration
In Paceart Optima a patient can have multiple patient IDs. You can configure patient IDs in Administration >
Demographics > Patient ID Types tab. Matching an inbound patient ID involves matching both the ID number
and the ID type. By default Paceart matches the first occurrence of the PID-3 segment to patient ID number
and patient ID type.
For example, your Paceart Optima System has a patient ID type called "EMR".
You receive the following PID segment in an HL7 message:
PID|||1335579^^^^EMR~654321^^^^MRN|
This would match a patient in Paceart with an "EMR" type ID and a patient ID number of "1335579".
Connectivity Guide | Paceart Integration | 19
Paceart Optima Patient Matching Configuration
In Paceart Optima you must configure patient matching in Administration > Connectivity > Patient Matching
Configuration tab. Patient matching is initially based on the patient ID only. You can configure an additional
second level of patient matching in the Verify Patient Match Configuration section. If a patient match cannot
be made using the patient ID, you can also configure matching based on patient demographic information.
You can configure this matching in the Demographics Only Match Configuration section. This additional
and secondary matching can determine when a new patient is created in Paceart, when an error is logged,
and when a work item is created.
For more information on configuring Paceart Optima patient matching refer to the Paceart Optima System
Software User Manual or the Paceart Optima online Help.
