Provided technical guidance in client selection of integration engine selection.
Transolutions – On Tuesday 4/13, participated in 2-hour integrated testing session with the Transolutions team and my client. The entire test plan was executed and no issues were detected that would require e*Gate interface code changes. One issue was raised regarding processing of “CC” providers (OBR.28). cleint reported that “CC” providers were not processing (printing) for the report types defined within the “HCCPS” department. I checked the printing options for the report types in question and discovered that the flag that controls printing of “CC” providers was set to “N” to not print. Researched the same flag in production and it was also set to “N”. Subsequently sent email to my client explaining the issue. Cient will contact the department for confirmation/explanation of their report type print settings for “CC” providers.
Optivox ADT – Completed review of the Optivox HL7 ADT interface specification document in advance of the kick-off meeting. The Optivox HL7 ADT interface specification is very simple, supporting a short list of HL7 ADT events, segments and fields.
Optivox ADT – Attended/participated in kick-off meeting Wednesday 4/14 with Optivox. Requested feedback from site contacts regarding message filter business rules based on patient type, patient location or medical service.
Optivox ADT – Completed first draft of the interface requirements specification documents for both client locations based on feedback received to date from site contacts. Delivered the drafts to the combined team from Optivox and client locations.
Powerscribe – Completed final review, requested changes and provided integration team sign-off on the completed Powerscribe HL7 interface specification document received from Powerscribe. Also, received request for changes to the specification from the client contact based her review of the document. Discussed each request with her and agreed that they were changes that we should request. Subsequently sent email listing these requests for changes along with explanation for each requested change.
Powerscribe – Completed e*Gate build and unit test (using messages pulled from production with feeders/eaters) of the transformation business rules for the Meditech to Powerscribe orders (ORM^O01) interface. Implemented all transformation business based on the approved version of HL7 interface specification that includes the client’s special processing (e.g. PACS formatting of the Meditech accession number). Implementation of routing/filtering business rules based on Meditech procedure mnemonics is still pending.
Powerscribe – Completed e*Gate build and unit test (using messages pulled from production with feeders/eaters) of the routing and transformation business rules for the Meditech to Powerscribe ADT interface. Implemented all routing and transformation business rules based on the completed/approved HL7 interface specification that includes all client and special processing (e.g. convert ADT^A34 to ADT^A30 required by Powerscribe for medical record number merges and convert ADT^A08 to ADT^A31 for updates).
Cleaned up Datagate/eGate TRE environment by archiving identified orphan or unused software components.
Attended GE Centricity kick-off project conference call to discuss integration changes and requirements.
