Universal Interface Engine (UIE)
The gateway between a hospital’s EMR, PACS, VNA systems and any Medical Video Capture System
Med X Change’s Universal Interface Engine (UIE) is a software application designed to operate on a facility’s network which will act as a gateway between the hospital’s EMR, PACS, VNA systems and any Medical Video Capture System (via DICOM and other standards). The UIE will receive and store HL7 messages from a hospital’s EMR system and make EMR data available for Medical Video Capture Systems to exchange via DICOM protocols. Then produce HL7 ORU result messages with media items for integration/linking back into the EMR.
The UIE will also be able to optionally send DICOM media files to hospital PACS systems or VNA systems.
SAMPLE WORKFLOW
- EMR send HL7 ADT, SIU or ORM message to the UIE
- UIE translates and converts that to Modality Work list
- The Medical Video Capture System query’s UIE via MWL and imports patient data
- The Medical Video Capture System during or post case send back images/video via c-store to UIE
- UIE converts to HL7 results messages and content via hyperlink
REQUIREMENTS
- Linux e.g. Ubuntu 18.04 (Preferred) or Windows 10 Professional with Hyper-v
- Network access (internet connectivity for automatic updates)
- 8GB of memory
- 32GB SSD for O/S and Software, Additional disks for storage
FEATURES
- Uni-directional (Orders only, Results only) or Bi-Directional (Orders and Results)
- Supported HL7 message types:
– S12 Notification of New Appointment
– S13 Notification of Appointment Rescheduling
– S14 Notification of Appointment Modification
– S15 Notification of Appointment Cancellation
– S17 Notification of Appointment Deletion
– ORU Observation Result
– Can easily be configured to receive/send other message types - Can be configured to accept other types of HL7/HL7v2 messages
- Ability to encapsulate pdf’s within outbound HL7 messages
- Can be configured to accept WorkLists as XML, JSON, or delimited text
- Provides WorkList API for custom integrations
- Process DICOM C-store request from recorders and other devices and generate HL7 ORU messages
- Email and web admin notifications for various events including messages processed and errors
- Powerful web-based administration portal
- DICOM TLS supported via automatic configuration or custom SSL certificates
- HIPAA compliant cyber security
UIE & MEDXSTORAGE SERVER (CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)
Next step for UIE is adding a optional Content Management Module for Storage which will complement the Brokering portion and allow storage of case data, linkable HL7 ORU results, Physician and patient access all encrypted and authenticated.
