LINKTools® 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 LINKTools®, a suite
of software integration modules. CATHLINK includes
the LINKTools® Interface Engine that restructures the
data, LINKTools® Dynamic Mapper and the LINKTools®
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 LINKTools® Dynamic Mapper,
which the end-user can take advantage of their hemodynamic
monitor's configurability without incurring the expense
of interface customization. LINKTools® 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.
