LINKMED® HL7 Interface For Cardiac
Cath Lab
A Bi-directional HL7 interface
for Siemens CATHCOR® and Various Cath Lab Hemodynamic
Monitors with Hospital Information System, Cardiology Information
System and Radiology Information System
CATHLINK is a predefined, installable
hemodynamic monitor interface that accepts input from various
hemodynamic monitors and outputs one industry standard format
regardless of the source.
CATHLINK unites HL7 messaging, the ACC97 harvest
elements, and LOINC standard vocabulary to capture the output
from a hemodynamic monitor and create an industry standard
formatted message that can be sent to HL7 compliant systems,
such as a Hospital Information System (HIS) or a Cardiology
Information System (CIS).
CATHLINK is based on LINKMED®, a suite of
software integration modules. CATHLINK includes the
LINKMED® Interface Engine that restructures the data,
LINKMED® Dynamic Mapper and the LINKMED® Transmitter
which is designed to send standard HL7 format files to a
shared directory or to a system capable of receiving HL7
transmissions via TCP/IP MLLP.
A core application is the LINKMED® Dynamic Mapper, which
the end-user can take advantage of their hemodynamic monitor's
configurability without incurring the expense of interface
customization. LINKMED® Dynamic Mapper allows a user
to map their site-specific hemodynamic elements to the appropriate
ACC97/LOINC data elements provided within the standard with
a point and click GUI environment.
