Hi,

Is there a document somewhere that tells where HL7 elements show up in Centricity?

The HL7 elements often don't have the same name as the Centricity fields so I'm not sure if a particular Centricity field I want to import into has a corresponding HL7 element.

If such a resource existed it would make working on Centricity interfaces a lot easier.

Thanks,

John

Centricity is able to import VALUES into OBSTERMS.

HL7 guides for various versions of Centricity can be downloaded from the GE Website.

Search for "managing interfaces", and select the version closest to your Centricity EMR version (I have downloaded one for EMR 9.8)

EMR 9.8 Managing Interfaces with Centricity EMR
Managing interfaces with CPS 12

etc...

Thanks, but I have the Managing Interfaces document and it doesn't help. I'll clarify what I mean.

I want to find out where HL7 elements show up in the Centricity UI so that I don't have to guess which HL7 element to use to import into a particular field in Centricity PM.

Here's an example of what I mean:

PV1-44 is Admit Date/Time in HL7 -> it (supposedly) maps to Centricity Visit Filing tab 'Hospitalization From' field. (if you search for "Hospitalization From" in Managing Interfaces you don't find anything.)

Here's a example of something I'm trying to do that demonstrates this:

I need to import into Centricity Visit Notes tab 'Visit Billing Notes' field. I have NO idea if there's an HL7 element that would map to this and if so what it is. Searching through the Interface documents I can't find anything that seems to relate to that. I've tried varies HL7 segments and elements but they don't show up in that field in Centricity.

I spend a lot of time guessing what HL7 element to use in order to import into a specific Centricity PM field. If there's a mapping between the HL7 elements and the Centricity PM UI that would be so helpful.

Thanks,

-- John...
