LINKTools® TCP/IP HL7 Communication
Drivers
Waltham, Ma., February 16, 1998
LINK Medical Computing, Inc. is proud to announce the release
of LINKTools® TCP Drivers.LINKTools® TCP Drivers are
designed to help the entire healthcare community meet the
challenge of efficient use of time and personnel together
with the keeping of accurate and comprehensive patient records.
Healthcare professionals spend significant resources on intensive
manual data entry and data validation. At the same time the
expense of implementing a typical custom interface can impede
the progress of data integration. LINK Medical Computing,
Inc. addresses this problem by producing the LINKTools®
TCP Drivers.LINKTools® TCP Drivers are commercial-grade,
user-configurable software modules designed specifically for
healthcare providers to easily and cost-effectively interface
hospital, clinic and/or office systems. With a single keystroke,
the drivers can be configured for Health Level Seven’s
(HL7) minimal lower level protocol (MLLP). With just a few
more simple keystrokes, various other HL7 optional parameters
can also be configured.LINKTools® TCP Drivers come in
two flavors; LINKTools®
TCP Receiver and LINKTools®
TCP Transmitter. Both these modules are 32-bit applications
running under Windows NT 4.0 workstation or server. A unique
and outstanding feature of LINKTools® TCP Receiver is
that it can perform any user-defined processing
with each successful receipt of a message. For example, a
database on the workstation can be updated with patient records
each time a patient admission is received. This offers unlimited
flexibility and functionality for healthcare providers. LINKTools®
TCP Drivers are also receiving strong support from the healthcare
application developers where the burden of programming the
interface can be offloaded onto LINKTools® and the processing
can still be entirely defined by the system developer.LINK
Medical is a strong advocate and supporter of existing and
emerging information interchange standards in healthcare and
is an active member of such groups as Health Level 7, the
Andover Working Group (AWG), Microsoft Healthcare User group
(MS-HUG) and the Open Cardiology Initiative (OCI).
