HL7 Message Templates must be configured for OnBase to correctly interpret and generate HL7 messages.
The following items are required for OnBase to communicate with the Epic server using HL7:
-
The Date & Time data type must be used for OnBase Keyword Types configured for dates, such as Admit Date, Discharge Date, and Date of Birth.
-
The OnBase chart number Keyword Type must be mapped to the PV1.19.1 HL7 field (Visit Number ID).
-
Depending on your Epic configuration, the ZDF.2.13 field (Provider ID Type) may require a value. This value is configured on the HL7 tab under Medical | Medical System Settings. See HL7 Settings for more information.
-
OnBase communicates document deficiency statuses to Epic at the API level. OnBase can be configured to also communicate these statuses to Epic using HL7 and the MDM message type. If HL7 is used, then the MDM message template must have default values for specific fields in the TXA and OBX segments. Either MDM^T10 or MDM^T02 message types can communicate the document deficiency status to the Epic server. MDM^T10 is the more appropriate message type for the event.
The following table lists the HL7 fields that require default values. Where applicable, the table provides the predefined default values available in OnBase. For the remaining fields, provide the value appropriate for your Epic environment.
