Hello,
I am interested in hearing from practices who have implemented exporting data into their health information exchange. Specifically what was involved in creating the LinkLogic relationship and tasks.
We are using CPSv10 and have already configured the VPN tunnel to the health information exchange in our state: HealthInfoNet (HIN), and our clinicians are currently utilizing HIN for read only access.
We would like to move forward to exporting data into HIN, beginning with demographics, but would need to know what is involved in doing this and whether we could do this ourself in-house or need to engage GE to create this mapping in LinkLogic.
HIN is ready to receive our data into their test environment but we would need to configure LinkLogic first.
Any information and suggestions on this will be very helpful.
Greetings. I haven't done this with CPS, but I have with 9.5.x (the oracle version). You'd have to check with GE to see if v10 supports it (but it should, I think).
If you want to send demographics (hl7) files as a way to preload, that is fine, and LinkLogic can do that. However, most HIE's don't need that, and just use the HIE standards for communicating that information. That is driven (in the Oracle version) but the jBoss server, which is configured via several XML files. You'd need guidance on how to set those up (based on your system, and the HIE (HIN) parameters).
With an HIE, you don't just have to export, you can import too...
I presume your clinicians are using a web based portal for read only access?
Yes, we currently have web based read only access.
