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:

Database Table
Patient MRN
Patient Account Number
Patient Visit ID
Patient Last Name
Patient First Name

Patient Middle Initial
Patient DOB
226008( Key)*
2003845
2
DOE
JANE
F
03/02/1941

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.
