Healthcare Technical Services Projects for Nov 5 |
- Reviewing material from A4 facilities related to the core build.
- Extrapolated and summarized data from the Standard interface logs to determine all possible values sent in dictionary driven fields.
- Received and reviewed Omnicell MFU Specifications.
- Participated in CBORD call to resolve issue with orders containing multiple diets. Conducted related testing to confirm new multiple order functionality, documenting findings. I am happy to report that multiple diet orders now flowing from Cerner.
- Participated in calls with GE Healthcare to resolve prod issues with transcribed reports in PACS.
- Participated in Hemodynamics testing call. By the end of the week, we successfully tested orders and results to Hemodynamics. Next steps are to test Nursing results and PDF reports outbound from Hemodynamics.
- Developed and refined test plan for Top-15 orderable radiology items. Met with radiology department leads to review test plan and to begin revising Reason for Exam Associations.
- Conduct research on Screen Flickering when pulling up Sleep Studies reports. Per the results found, the latest version of Adobe Reader was applied to the Citrix farm. Though no further reports of flickering have occurred, we will continue to monitor.
- Training/Tutorial Sessions – Completed four training sessions this week (each day except Thursday). This week, client took the reins and completed the “Training” schema build. By the end of the week, we had completed the build covering all essential e*Gate build topics: IQ Managers, eWays/BOBs, Collaborations, Collaboration Rules and towards the end of the week got into the details of the Collaboration Rules Editor.
- Medmined – Continued working with client on two sessions on Thursday. The focus of our sessions this week was the LAB interface. We spent most of our time working with the LAB collaboration rule class file that I had built previously to cover both the standard lab and microbiology messages from Meditech to Medmined.
- Datanex – Worked with Datanex contact to obtain IP/Port information for the ADT real time interface. Built the outbound HL7 e*Way for the ADT interface to Datanex. Completed successful connectivity test and exchanged first set of ADT messages with Datanex in real-time. Completed detailed review and comparison of the Datanex ADT HL7 interface specification document against the Meditech ADT message format. Documented a list of fields that are required by Datanex, but not available in the Meditech ADT interface.
- Datanex e*Gate FTP interface – Worked with Datanex contact to obtain IP/User/Password information for the FTP interface to Datanex. Worked extensively with VPN expert from Provena to work through issues with had with FTP connection across the VPN tunnel. The problems were resolved by Wednesday and a successful connectivity test was completed. Completed initial build and unit testing using my local FTP server (e*Gate conversion environment) of the Datanex FTP e*Way (Mult-mode) using the Batch e*Way for Java, creating separate Local and FTP e*Way connections for two of the Datanex batch file types (from the FTP protocol specification). Created Windows directory structure to support the dropping off of files for subsequent FTP via the new e*Gate FTP e*Way solution. Subsequently, modified the structure (shortened the path by eliminating the data type folder level) in order to accommodate the Meditech extract 40-character limit for specifying path names. Communicated the folder structure for the team. Subsequently, delivered the first “ub04” files via FTP to Datanex for both client locations after the files were dropped off for FTP.
- Primary in supporting of their first EPIC clinic go-live.
- Monitoring queues in Epic Bridges and JCAPS 513.
- Developed two new ADT interfaces using Batch Local Eway in JCAPS.
- Performed testing on ADT interfaces. No issues found.
- Verified Ports and IP in all the external systems to point to correct for Production. GO-LIVE is next Sunday.
- Training/Tutorial Sessions – Completed five training sessions with client this week. This week we continued our focus on building out the e*Gate modules required for client representatives first project assignment. We also continued to focus on developing the skills necessary to master the Java collaboration rules editor. The final session focused on the process steps for implementing e*Gate “datamaps” as a filtering mechanism.
- Datanex Nebo “ub_04” interface – Completed successful test of the NEBO network share “pull” using e*Gate Batch e*Way for Java’s “LocalFileETD”. Resolved the issues that I was having with accessing network shares by establishing that my issue was only occurring when attempting to pull/copy files from the “AEGT19” server from e*Gate schema running on “AEGT029”. Provided update for reporting the progress and work remaining to work out an e*Gate solution for guaranteeing that each “ub_04” file is pulled once and only once from the NEBO server.
- Datanex ADT interfaces – Completed build of “A17” and “A34” collaborations. Completed final code checks for proper comments and logging statements for input, output and exceptions. Completed unit test of each interface using production data messages. Verified that message content was complete and correct according to Datanex segment level HL7 requirements specifications. Emailed the bulleted list of Meditech/Datanex HL7 crosswalk analysis previoulsly compiled within the Provena Interface Requirements specification document. Completed integrated test of each ministry’s ADT interface via the real-time interfaces to Datanex. Solicited and received approval from Datanex project leader Chad Pierce to move forward with the production implementation for each ministry in order to establish day forward ADT feeds to Datanex.
- Datanex FTP interface – Continued build of Batch e*Way collaborations for additional Datanex FTP file types. Completed unit test for each additional file type. Need to request feedback from Datanex and the team to identify the subset of Datanex file types that will be required for the production implementation in order to avoid building unnecessary e*Gate support for file types defined by Datanex, but not required for the Provena implementation. Completed FTP to Datanex initial test files this week via Meditech extract.
- Contacted Physician practice manager to finalize EMR Practice Interface Quote and initiate coding by GE Centricity for inbound Laboratory Results from SoftLab.
- Scheduled Lab Orders Implementation Kick-off meeting with GE-Centricity and SoftLab using Medicity NovoGRID.
