Next Page>>>
LINKMED® INBOUND HL7 ADT Configuration (continue)

By default the first HL7 segments fields selected for the interface template will be displayed at the work area
(Figure 2).
The following is the HL7 MSH message segment of the input file received:

Input MSH Segment:

MSH|^~\@|PMS|LPI|RMS||200804151006||ADT^A08|CHPFQP02|P|2.3|

This is your first HL7 segment that you need to work on to extract contents from its segment fields.
Select the following MSH "Segment fields" that contains value by clicking the [Check Box] on the left:
3, 4, 5, 7, 9_1, 9_2, 10, 11, 12 (Figure 2).

 Next click on the Down Arrow in the LINKMED® Mapper " Segment" column and select the PV1 segment to bring up the PV1segment fields.
Select the following PV1 Segment Fields: 1, 2, 4, 7_1, 7_2, &_3, 7_4, 10, 14, 17_1, 17_2, 17_3, 17_4, 18, 19_1, 20_1, 20_2, 39, 44 ( Figure 5)

When finish click on the "Save" button to save your Mapper configuration, named it " ADTA08.MPR". Folow these steps:

1. Copy the HL7 Input file from the previous page to the LINKMED® OrderR folder,
2-Then using Windows command prompt call the LINKMED® Interface Engine to do your data transformation.
Example: c:\LINKMED\LINKCFG\LTUP.exe c:\LINKMED\LINKCFG\OrderLNKMPR Where c:\LINKMED\LINKCFG\LTUP.exe is the location of your installed LINKMED® Interface Engine (LTUP.EXE) and c:\LINKMED\LINKCFG\OrderLNK.MPR is the saved location of your Dynamic Mapper template file.
3- Check the OrderS folder for your XML output file.
Tip: Use Internet browser to validate your XML file output .
