LINKTools® HL7
PID Segment Construction for OUTBOUND Interface:
Comma delimiter
Another example is the comma delimited file export
from user's database, the table name and location must be known for
mapping the correct data elements to HL7 segment and segment's fields:
|

|
Patient MRN
|
Patient Account

|
Patient Visit
ID
|
Patient Last
Name
|
Patient First

Key)*
|
2003845
|

|
DOE
|
JANE
|
F
|

|
The above patient demographic exported from user's database as comma
delimited file:
226008,"2003845","2","DOE","JANE","F","03/02/1941",
Using the description from the above table
LINKTools® user can bring up the HL7 PID segment, then select the
following segments fields that match the input description . To use
the Field/File Rules feature click in the yellow box coresponse to the
segment field you want to map (See screenshot below)

*Utilizing an intermediate
database LINKTools® user needs to include this UKI with result or
transcribed report on the return message. All HL7 segments and segment's
fileds from stored records will be filled in by LINKTools® automatically.
