Case Notes Services

Import

Import is a core Case Notes service which can import any valid ‘patient event’ into Case Notes’ patient record repository. The import module is a fully configurable, batch-operated service.

Typical uses include:
- Order Communications and Results Reporting interfaces to Laboratory or Radiology systems
- Messaging between forms in systems in a shared care environment

Import can be configured in a variety of modes for differing uses such as indicating ‘patient check’ information, locating specific elements of a patient’s events for indexing and callout to a custom process for site-specific import processing.

Features
Integrates with conversion filters or fed from a messaging hub to provide HL7 interfaces to any legacy system
Patient check can be configured to check against any Patient ID – such as NHS number, PAS number or external MPI
Character filtering to improve data quality
Triggers other internal Case Notes modules such as Workflow or In-Tray
Checks imported data against an event schema to ensure only correctly structured events are admitted
Uses a working directory and checks for incoming files, or can poll message queues or socket connections. It also provides a directory for failed messages and schema specifications

Benefits

Patient check provides assurance of data being correctly associated with the patient
Triggers to other modules provide timely information and drive progress in workflows, including Care Pathways, without communication delays or user intervention
