• Accepts all HL7 message types and automatically validates and sends standard HL7 message acknowledgements back to client(s).
• Accepts multiple connections on the same port and route messages to user-defined destinations.
• Accepts HL7 query messages and sends HL7 query response messages.
• Can be configured for application level message validation.
• Built-in firewall allows the receiver to accept message from allowed IP address only (up to 50 IP addresses)
• Can be configured to receive non-HL7 message sends via TCP/IP user-defined protocols such as XML documents, Words documents, PDF documents, etc.
• Reads, Writes and filters HL7messages to SQL database or LINKTools® internal intermediate database.
• Runs unobstructively as service

The LINKTools® HL7 TCP/IP Transmitter features:

• Sends HL7 result and query messages.
• Receives HL7 acknowledgements and HL7 query response.
• Can be configured to send message length and size encoding prior to sending actual HL7 message.
• Automatically re-send message if no acknowledgement is received or remove message out of the queue.
• Can be configured to send non-HL7 message via TCP/IP user-defined protocols such as XML documents, Words documents, PDF documents, etc.

• Inbound interface
  HIS sends HL7 messages----------> LINKTools® TCP/IP Receiver-----------> Parsed HL7 to Vendor's System
  
  
• Outbound Interface
  Vendor's System creates study result----------> LINKTools® Interface creates HL7 result message----------> LINKTools® HL7 TCP/IP Transmitter sends HL7 result message-------->HIS or EMR systems
  
  

• Native support for standard HL7 version 2.x and HL7 version 3 (when available), also support other standard messaging format such as: XML, ASTM, ASCII, CSV, NVP, SQL and user- defined.
• Graphical user interface (GUI) allows user to visually learn its functionalities in order to create an interface template in a short time.
• Mapping data from one format to virtually any another format including the "What you want" format.
• Built-in HL7 message library (up to version 2.5).
• Supports new ASTM CCR and HL7 CDA.
• Featuring check box located next to HL7 segment's fields allowing users to check only the segment field needed to include in their interface.
• Available internal intermediate database for storing un-needed data but needed to re-create HL7 result messages to send back to the HIS or EMR systems (DBFor MySQL) when bi-directional interface is required.
• Easy to learn "Mapper Rules" (the LINKTools® Interface Engine Tags) uses for data manipulation such as moving value from one filed to another or concatenate data from many fields and output into one field

• HIS or EMR systems send HL7 messages to LINKTools® interface.
• LINKTools® HL7 TCP/IP Receiver receives and sends HL7 message acknowledgements.
• LINKTools® Receiver processes HL7 messages.
• The parsed HL7 messages are imported to vendors applications or systems.
• Patient demographics and others information can be stored in LINKTools® intermediate database.
• In Bi-directional interface LINKTools® interface assigned unique key identifiers (ORM) for study result reconciliation
• LINKTools® Interface accepts HL7 ADT updates to study order (ORM) automatically
• Automatically updates order (ORM) information when receiving ADT patient merged message(supports both merge patient ID or merge patient account numbers)
  

• Lab results, Diagnostic study or Transcribed reports received back from Vendors systems are reconciled with orders or ADT information's stored in the LINKTools® interface intermediate database.
• HL7 result message (ORU)or Documentation (MDM) message is created if all records unique key identifiers are matched.
• Reports with unmatched unique key identifiers are processed for later reconciliation with ADT or Order sent from the HIS or EMR OE systems.
• Study reports can be viewed and print from LINKTools® WebSelect client
• HL7 result (ORU) or Documentation (MDM) messages are configured specific to client's specifications (down to HL7 field level).
  

• HIS or EMR Systems send HL7 ADT /Order message to LINKTools® Interface.
• Vendors creating Mapper " Interface Template" according to Vendors application or system requirements.
• Vendors activates the LINKTools® Scheduler module to trigger the interface
