To send HL7 messages containing transcription file data, ensure these requirements are met:
-
The default value $^TXDATA must be assigned to the HL7 field where the file data is to be placed. This field is typically OBX.5 or OBX.5.1.
-
If you are using the Split transcription data to one line per OBX segment option, then the OBX.2 field must specify a text data format (TX, FT, or ST) as its default value.
-
If the HL7 message should specify the physician or secondary signer who edited or signed the transcription, provide one of the following variables as the User Defined value (typically for the TXA.22 field):
Default Value
Description
$^PhysicianID
Provides the physician's Physician Number, as configured in Physician Information Settings.
$^PhysicianName
Provides the full name of the physician, as configured in Physician Information Configuration.
$^PrimarySecondary
Specifies whether the signer is a Primary or Secondary Signer.
-
To have the HL7 message include the timestamp indicating when the transcription was edited or signed, include the following variables:
Default Value
Description
$^TranscriptionEditTimestamp
Provides a timestamp indicating the date and time the transcription was edited but not signed. Use this value for HL7 Edit and Save messages
$^TranscriptionSignTimestamp
Provides a timestamp indicating the date and time the transcription was signed. Use this value for HL7 Edit and Sign messages.
