Does any practice currently use the EasyOne AIR Spirometry system from NDD (New Diagnostic Design)? What is your experience with this system?
Our practice is attempting to move to this spirometry system, but running into issues with a successful bildirectional integration.
During integrated with CPS or CEMR, what issues or problems did you experience and how were they solved? Outbound Ok but issues with inbound to CPS.
If successful in connecting the bidirectional communication with CPS/CEMR, can you share your HL7 cross file (xxx.XRF) that you are using to correctly populate the flowsheet after the signed document is pushed to CPS/CEMR. Much appreciated.
Ultimately, we want all of the generated spirometry parameters from the test (Predicted Value, Best Value, % change from Predicted, Post best value, % Post change from Predicted, and % change Pre/Post) for each item such as FVC, FEV1,FEV1/FVC, PEF, FEF25-75, FET, FIVC, PIF etc. to incorporated into CPS as a signed document with attached PDF of spirometry traces, and the parameters pushed into the flowsheet, to be incorporated into a custom Spirometry form in the visit. I already have code and functions to parse the data from the flowsheet and load into the custom form with a single button click.
Appreciate any comments, or assistance in completing this integration.
Thank you
We use Breeze Connect, but otherwise your scenario doesn't sound much different. We send ORMs to Breeze Connect, and we receive ORUs back. We probably make some adjustments to the HL7 (we use Mirth Connect for most of our interfaces).
Our xrf almost certainly wouldn't work for you, but it isn't hard to build an xrf from scratch. It does take some learning to read/interpret HL7, and knowing which obs terms in CPS you want to use (since there are often multiple for the same metric).
As a sample, here are a few lines from our xrf:
I,FVC-%Change-Post,MLI-73845
I,FVC-%Pred-Pre,MLI-23756
I,FVC-Post,LOC-13460001
