The HL7 Module: Seamless Integration with Medical Applications

HL7 messages can be used to create and add to electronic patient records and to trigger workflows

The Need

Historically, healthcare applications were not written with interoperability in mind. Laboratories, hospital information systems, imaging, patient processing, radiology, and other areas had radically different systems with no means of communicating with one another. In order to exchange data with other applications, extensive custom programming had been required.

With the advent of Health Level 7 (HL7), the healthcare industry has adopted a messaging standard to ensure that clinical applications have the ability to exchange information. As a provider of leading document management and workflow healthcare solutions, Optical Image Technology has adopted this industry standard.

It allows doctors and staff to spend less time with paperwork and have immediate access to comprehensive patient records. Patients also have quicker access to their procedure results.

With the HL7 Module, your organization has the ability to compile a truly comprehensive patient record. DocFinity document management software integrates with leading EMR/EHR products to facilitate the capture and imaging of new records.
