The following procedure describes how to configure AutoFill Keyword Set merging.
- In the Configuration module, select Medical | HL7 | Message Template.
-
Select a merge message template to configure, or create a new message template. In the following example, the Message Type is ADT^A40 Merge patient - internal ID.
- Click Segments.
- Configure the settings as you would for any other message template. Since this is a merge message template, you must ensure that the MRG and PID segments are in the Selected Segments dialog box.
- Configure the field that contains the old (non-surviving) keyword data. Select MRG Merge Information, and click Fields.
-
Select the field that you would like to merge on. In this example, this field is 4.1 Prior PatientID(ExtrnlID) ID.
- Click Settings.
-
Assign a Keyword Type to the field from the drop-down. This Keyword Type forms the link between the surviving value and the non-surviving value. In the following example, the assigned Keyword Type is Master Patient Index.
-
From the Merge Source Identifier drop-down, select the field type that this represents. In this example, it is the MPI.
Note:
You must select a Merge Source Identifier to use this field for AutoFill Keyword Set merging.
- When you are finished, click Save, and then click Close to return to the Segments configuration screen.
- Select the PID segment, and click Fields.
-
Select the field that you want to merge on. In this example, it is 2.1 Patient ID(External ID) ID.
- Click Settings.
-
Assign it the same Keyword Type as the MRG segment that you configured previously, and for which this will be a replacement value. In this example, the Keyword Type is Master Patient Index.
Note:
The Merge Source Identifier is not available as an option. This is only configured on the MRG segment.
- Click Save.
