Has anyone had to import CCDA documents via an HL7 interface before? We have a vendor that wants to send us MDM messages via HL7 with CCDA documents in the payload and we are running into a few road blocks. Apparently there is a way to do it via Jboss but we have been told when we do it that way we can not route it to a specific providers dektop and we can not specify the document type/summary. This will not work for us as we will need to do all of that.
I know that Qvera has a stored procedure that they use in these cases but we do not have access to it at this point. I am wondering how SMPP does it. I thought SMPP imported everything using link logic but apparently they do not from what I can tell. Is there a stored procedure that they use? The vendor that will be sending us the CCDA documents currently sends them via secure message and SMPP is able to do everything we need to import them to the providers desktop with the proper document type but we get thousands a month and it is very time consuming. We would like to automate the process with HL7.
If anyone has any code examples on how to do it could you email them to me?

I'm not familiar with a method of importing data via jboss.
DTS/Linklogic can import MDM HL7 messages. That's how it imports file attachments, for example. Are you looking to attach external files like PDFs to charts?
I would imagine with SMPP, a provider sending a secure message would select the provider he is trying to send to. That would put the document on the appropriate provider's desktop. I certainly understand not wanting to bring that job in house if you are receiving thousands.
As far as doc type/summary, I would expect that to be simple. If the only content over this interface would be CCDA's, then it will be trivial to specify that. I'm assuming the doc type and summary are static of course.
If the destination desktop is the responsible provider, then that should happen automatically on import. If another provider, how is that determined? I believe there is a field in one of the segments that will cause DTS/LL to route to particular desktops. I'd have to look into it to be sure.

DTS/Linklogic can import MDM messages but the content of those MDM messages cannot be a CCDA. Also, file attachments as part of an MDM message is acutally just a URL to the file.
