1Overview of Workflow Options

The PageWriter TC cardiographs can communicate over a wireless LAN, Ethernet LAN, or modem with a Philips TraceMaster ECG Management System for an integrated order and ECG management workflow solution. Enabling cardiograph connectivity with a TraceMaster server allows for the direct downloading of pending patient orders to the cardiograph, and for the subsequent uploading back to TraceMaster of the completed orders and associated ECGs for reconciliation, review, and processing. With TraceMaster, you can also enable the Last ECG and interactive query features on the cardiograph so that you can download ECGs directly from a TraceMaster server, allowing for the on-screen review, printing, and comparison of the most recent patient ECG directly at the cardiograph. The cardiograph can also be configured to transmit completed ECGs to any third party (non-Philips) ECG management system using a LAN, wireless LAN, or modem connection, and can be configured to transmit completed ECGs as a fax transmission using the modem. The cardiograph also supports the transmission of completed ECGs as a PDF file directly to any remote networked PC or server.

For more information on purchasing any of the optional cardiograph features described in this document (LAN, wireless LAN, modem/fax, orders), consult your Philips sales representative, or your local dealer or distributor.

The following sections provide an overview of the supported ECG, order, fax, and PDF workflow solutions available on the cardiograph, with references to the applicable configuration instructions.

TraceMaster with OrderVue Workflow

The cardiograph can be configured to communicate with a TraceMaster ECG Management System over a LAN, wireless LAN, or modem connection for a comprehensive bidirectional orders, and ECG workflow management solution. In this workflow option, the TraceMaster ECG Management System server receives orders and, as an option, ADT patient demographic updates to existing orders, directly from a HIS in HL7 format. The system then converts the order into an XML-based order format compatible with the PageWriter TC cardiograph. Orders are then selected from the cardiograph Worklist at the beginning of each patient session. Completed ECGs are then transferred back to the TraceMaster server for review and reconciliation, with billing information transferred directly back to the HIS. For information on configuring connectivity with a TraceMaster ECG Management System with the OrderVue order handling option, see “Configuring TraceMaster ECG Management System Settings” on page 3-1.

NOTE The ADT option available with OrderVue only provides for ADT updates to an existing HL7 patient

order received from the HIS.

Overview of Workflow Options ECG PDF Export and Remote PC Workflow

Figure 1-1 TraceMaster with OrderVue Workflow

ECG PDF Export and Remote PC Workflow

The cardiograph can be configured to export ECGs as PDF files to any networked remote PC or server using a LAN, or wireless LAN connection. The ECG PDF files may then be viewed in PDF viewer software directly at the remote receiving PC or server. The remote PC or server can also be configured to support the receipt of custom configuration files, or System Log files from the cardiograph, and the remote server can transmit custom configuration files or software update files directly to a cardiographs, accelerating the configuration and software update processes. For more information on configuring PDF Export or Remote PC settings, see “Configuring PDF Export and Remote PC Settings,” on page 5-1.

Chapter 1Configuring Network Connectivity

About Network Settings

The PageWriter TC cardiographs communicate with various external servers using a wired or wireless network connection, or a modem connection. In the network configuration settings available on the cardiograph, all TCP/IP settings can be specified based on the needs of your specific clinical environment.

Both automatic IP addressing via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and fixed IP address settings are available. The network settings on the cardiograph support TCP/IP protocol using a dynamic IP address or a static IP address, and support a DNS or WINS server.

Ethernet data transmission settings can be set to Auto Negotiation, where the system automatically configures the correct settings for Ethernet speed and mode (half or full duplex), or can be configured with fixed settings, if required.

Chapter 1Configuring TraceMaster ECG

Management System Settings

The PageWriter TC cardiographs can communicate over an Ethernet LAN, wireless LAN, or modem with the Philips TraceMaster ECG Management System for an integrated order and ECG management workflow solution. Enabling cardiograph connectivity with a TraceMaster server allows for the direct downloading of pending patient orders to the cardiograph, and for the subsequent uploading of completed orders and associated ECGs to TraceMaster for reconciliation, review, and processing. Also, you can enable the Last ECG and interactive query features on the cardiograph so that you can download ECGs directly from a TraceMaster server to the cardiograph for on-screen review, printing, and previous ECG comparison purposes directly at the cardiograph.

For more information on any optional cardiograph features described in this chapter (LAN, wireless LAN, modem, orders, ADT support), consult your Philips sales representative, or your local dealer or distributor.

Configuring connectivity between a cardiograph and the TraceMaster ECG Management System with the OrderVue order handling option involves multiple steps, as described in the following table.

About Configuring TraceMaster Connections

You use the ECG Management Systems settings in Setup to configure a connection to a specific TraceMaster ECG Management System server. Once connected, the cardiograph can retrieve orders and ECG data from the server, as well as transmit completed ECGs back to the server for review, editing, reconciliation, and storage. Cardiographs can connect to a TraceMaster server using a wired or wireless LAN connection, or using a modem.

The Archive is used to transmit ECGs to and from the cardiograph, and to search a configured TraceMaster server for ECGs to save to the cardiograph and to print on the cardiograph. For more information on using the Archive to transmit ECGs to TraceMaster, see the PageWriter TC Cardiograph Instructions for Use.

About Supported TraceMaster Versions and Compatibility

ECG data is stored on the cardiograph, and then transmitted to the selected TraceMaster server in XML format. Due to limitations with the XML schema version used to transfer ECG data to the TraceMaster server, there are restrictions on the supported algorithm version(s) and the ability to transmit ECG data in extended 16-lead format to certain versions of the TraceMaster ECG Management System. The TraceMaster ECG Management System version is selected under the Setup.

Chapter 1Configuring OrderVue Settings

The settings described in this chapter are applicable to the OrderVue order handling option that is installed on a TraceMaster server.

About OrderVue Workflow

The OrderVue database resides on the TraceMaster server, and may include an optional ADT option that monitors HL7 ADT updates to existing patient orders.

When an order is entered into the HIS, it is associated with a specific ECG area location code. Once the order is received by OrderVue, the location code is mapped to a virtual orders outbox for classification purposes, to simplify retrieval. This mapping is performed as part of the original configuration of the OrderVue/TraceMaster system at your site.

Multiple location codes can be mapped to a single outbox. For example, the night shift might have responsibility for all orders originating on the 2nd and 3rd floors of your facility for a given day. Departments A, B, and C could have their orders all mapped to the o utb ox,

Floor2-3, for easy retrieval by shift personnel.

On the cardiograph, you configure one or more Worklists, which are set to retrieve orders from one or more of the outboxes defined on the server, depending on your site’s requirements for each cardiograph’s primary area of use. A Worklist resides solely on the cardiograph, and may consist of several OrderVue outboxes. A cardiograph Worklist can be assigned any name that gives meaning to the cardiograph user, or provides meaning within a larger configured orders system.

4-1

Configuring OrderVue Settings OrderVue Configuration Overview

Figure 4-1 OrderVue Outbox to Cardiograph Order Worklist Configuration

OrderVue Configuration Overview

Briefly, configuring OrderVue settings on the cardiograph includes the following steps:

1 Ensure that all TraceMaster Connection settings are accurate and complete. 2 Test the connectivity between the cardiograph and the configured TraceMaster

Connection. If it is successful, proceed to configuring order settings.

3 Select a TraceMaster Connection. 4 Map one or more order outboxes on the TraceMaster server to one or more OrderVue

Worklists on the cardiograph. A single cardiograph Worklist may be mapped to receive data from several different outboxes. As part of this mapping, you specify:

– Which orders are specified to be downloaded to the cardiograph; the orders can be

sorted by status (new or all), priority (STAT or all others) and when the orders are due (the current day only, or the current day and the following day, or other options).

4-2 PageWriter TC Cardiograph Network Configuration Guide

Configuring OrderVue Settings Before You Begin

– Whether amended or updated orders downloaded to the cardiograph replace the

existing orders, or are added to the list as a new order.

– Whether the assigned cardiograph user is permitted the ability to download orders

only, or is permitted access to download and search for orders.

5 Save and name the Worklist. 6 Conduct a test orders search for the newly created Worklist. 7 Select general order settings, including settings for orders loaded onto the cardiograph

from a USB memory stick. These orders originate from the WebSelect Utility application, which is only used with OrderVue.

Note that you can edit a configured W orklist any time after creation. See “Editing Worklist Settings” on page 4-11.

Before You Begin

To ensure that Worklist creation proceeds smoothly and efficiently, have available:

 The location/identifying information for order outboxes or POCs from which you will be

pulling orders to build Worklists on the cardiograph.

 The list of Worklists you wish to create. Mapping out the order locations/desired Worklist

assignments ahead of time will save you time and effort. For example, the night shift might have responsibility for all orders originating on the 2nd

and 3rd floors of your facility for a given day. Departments A, B, and C on these floors could have their orders all mapped to a cardiograph Worklist named retrieval by shift personnel.

Creating an OrderVue Worklist

PC Settings

TC Cardiograph PDF Export and Remote PC Features

The PageWriter TC cardiographs with installed software version A.04.01 and higher can export ECGs as PDF files from the cardiograph to a specified shared folder on any networked PC or server. The cardiograph can also transmit Log files and Custom Settings files (that contain all configuration information) to this same shared folder. A shared folder is created on the networked PC or server, and PDF files, as well as Log files and Custom Settings files transmitted from the cardiograph are saved to this individual shared folder. The shared folder also may be created on a TraceMaster or third party (non-Philips) server. Additionally, Customer Settings files, and software updates saved to the shared folder can be transmitted to the cardiograph, which greatly accelerates the configuration and software update processes.

NOTES ECGs can also be saved as PDF files directly to a USB memory stick from the Archive, and the PDF

files can then be loaded onto a PC and viewed using any standard PDF viewer software. Log files and Custom Settings files can also be saved to a USB memory stick. Saving files to a USB memory stick requires no special configuration on the cardiograph.

You can save Log files to a USB memory stick at any time by pressing Ctrl + Alt + O from any screen. Ensure the USB memory stick is firmly inserted into the USB connector before saving the Log file.

The PDF Export and Remote PC features cannot be used with modem transmission.

About Log Files

Log files continuously record operating information about the cardiograph including events, errors, application integrity, battery power levels, memory use, test results, and user events related to ECG processing, along with the time and date of each event. These log files are useful in troubleshooting a technical issue with the cardiograph. For more information on Log files, see the PageWriter TC Cardiograph Service Manual. For information on using the Log files to troubleshoot a technical issue with the cardiograph, contact the nearest Philips Response Center.
