After a request is complete, you can select to run any pre-configured system actions for the request packet. Pre-configured system actions can include sending the request packet to HL7, Workflow, or both.
HL7 messages are sent only for requests with a single patient and a single packet. If a request contains multiple patients or creates multiple packets, the HL7 message will not be sent.
You may or may not need to run system actions, depending on the method used to complete the request:
-
If the request was completed using either the Print Request action or saving it to file, pre-configured system actions are not automatically performed. Run packet actions if necessary.
-
If the request was completed using the Mark as Complete button, pre-configured system actions are automatically performed. Only run packet actions if they need to be performed again.
To run pre-configured system actions for a request:
-
Click the Run Packet Actions button from the Release of Information tab.
Note:The Run Packet Actions button is enabled only if there are actions configured for the facility.
A notification is displayed. If the actions have not been run previously, you are notified that system actions can export the packet and make it available outside of Release of Information. If the actions were previously performed, you are notified that system actions have already been completed.
